Have Afternoon Tea With These Bunnies And Their Pals

Have a tea break with Kata Golda's Bunnies and Party Tea Set.

The set includes six tea cups and a teapot which are made of soft-white glazed stoneware. Designer Kata Golda created the delicate illustrations of bunnies and their animal pals on each cup. I would recommend getting this for older children since there's less chance of breakage!

5% of all proceeds are donated to local elementary schools for art supplies, books, and organic gardening.

Price is $168 and sold at Fawn and Forest.

7 Days of Must-Haves: The Snack Trap

Chris Ford — Sat, 31 May 2008 12:01:00 GMT

When I asked my wife what I should write about for "7 Days of Must-Haves," she immediately said "the Snack Trap." And I have to admit, she was absolutely right. If you've got a toddler who likes to take a snack with them (which pretty much limits it to every toddler in the world), then a Snack Trap is something that you really need to have.

Often the most simple things are the most ingenious, and the Snack Trap is no exception. It's a cup for small bite-sized snacks (like Goldfish crackers, Cheerios, grapes or whatever) with a rubber lid. The genius thing about the lid is, it lets small hands get to the food, but keeps the food inside for the inevitable moment when your toddler tips it over. The picture shows the lid, so you can get an idea of how it works.

They're found in lots of baby supply stores, or you can buy them in a three-pack for $13.95 from Amazon.com. In my opinion, you can never have too many.

7 Days of BPA-Free Plastics: CamelBak Better Water Bottle

My kids are (almost) completely done with sippy cups, so now I'm starting to think about how I'm going to bring a drink for them to the park without using a sippy cup. Luckily I found a BPA-free option at Amazon - The CamelBak "BPA- Free" Better Water Bottle.

The CamelBak water bottle comes in a 16, 25 and 32 oz. size, has a handle that you can clip to a carabiner or back pack, and is made of BPA-Free plastic. It even has a standard size cap that will apparently allow the lid to fit other bottles.

CamelBak "BPA-Free" Better Water Bottle, $6.95 from Amazon.com for the 16 oz. version

Melamine Snack Set from notNeutral

The folks over at notNeutral in Los Angeles make some of my favorite stuff for children. Check out the Links Melamine Snack set. There are six pieces (a bowl, cup, plate, tray, spoon and fork) that come in either bright orange and red, or cool blue and green, and it is all dishwasher safe. Because it's made from Melamine it's probably not microwavable, but it's fun and would make a cool gift.
