SunnyChanel — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 00:30:00 GMT

Baby Zuma, the infant son of Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale, is a little bit wild. Here the pop star mom of two holds her youngest while keeping a wildlife inspired blankie close at hand. Do you want your offspring to get in touch with their animal instincts just like Zuma? You can with an oversized blanket by My Blankee. You can pick up one of three shades of giraffe, but if that’s not your breed than you can pick from a variety of patterns such as zebra and leopard. Get read for some safari style here for $66 each.

Perfect Polka Dot Giraffe Rattle

AmandaHill — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 01:00:00 GMT

Finding the perfect rattle can be important. I found that once my daughter attached herself to a certain toy, it was golden to her for quite a while. I feel like this rattle is one of those awesome toys that would stay around and keep a little one busy for quite some time.

The blue spot Giraffe Rattle from Ollie Rose is gorgeous and functional. Click on over to Ollie Rose to check it out.

Classic Wooden Toys Collapse and Spring Back To Life

Chris Ford — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 22:30:00 GMT

You know what they say, "What's old is new again." I'm not that old, but when I was a kid I used to be fascinated with these types of little wooden toys - the kind that seem to collapse when you push the bottom but then spring to life again when you let go. Now you can get a few of them for your kids too - and at a price that won't break the bank.

The Petra Toys Press Puppets come in a Rhino, Giraffe, Red Dog and Elephant version. They would be great for an inexpensive little gift or even a party favor. Actually, it's kind of a pricey party favor, but they're cool nonetheless.

More Than Just A Giraffe Puzzle From KId-O

Chris Ford — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 21:01:00 GMT

My daughter is really into creating and recognizing patterns, and if you've got a young one in your life who is similar, you'll probably want to check this out. The "Noticing Differences - Giraffes" puzzle shows kids the subtle differences between the giraffes. So what's so special?

But the cool thing is it's no ordinary puzzle either. The backgrounds (color background and a puzzle outline) are removable which will vary the degree of difficulty.

Noticing Differences - Giraffes, $19.00 from Kid-O

When a Sleeve Isn't Just a Sleeve, It's a Giraffe!

SunnyChanel — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 14:07:00 GMT

Your child’s right arm, a standard knit sleeve. The left? A leaf eating, blue haired giraffe, natch! If you want to see your kid’s sleeves go from boring to bodaciously rad, this Little Marc Jacobs sweater may just be the solution to the your plain sleeve doldrums. The Clover Giraffe jumper doesn’t come cheap though, it’ll put you back £73.00 (about $150 U.S here.) It’s made of a mix of woodl, nylon, silk and cashmere, so it’s as soft as it is cute.

Etsy Alert: A New Breed of Giraffe

New T-Shirt for Summer Camp from Threadless

Chris Ford — Thu, 22 May 2008 19:03:00 GMT

Summer is almost here, and that means summer camp. And summer camp means finding sweet t-shirts for your son or daughter to wear to camp. I told you last week about my favorite new shirt from Small Paul, and today's t-shirt is from Threadless, a giraffe-themed shirt called "Such A Great Height."

Threadless is a company that makes t-shirts designed and voted on by the public, and to me it has really become the king of the "clever" t-shirts. Depending on your tastes you can usually find something you'll like, and that includes shirts for kids. The "Such A Great Height" t-shirt is a simple, Escher-like design with giraffes and their inverse image. Fun, simple, and perfect for summer camp.

Such A Great Height, $15 for Kids Tee, $18 for a Onesie at Threadless.com

Appaman Halter Dresses

Chris Ford — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 23:26:00 GMT

My three-year-old loves dresses. Her first choice is always a dress, and if one isn't available, then a skirt is acceptable. Pants are occasionally OK, and I don't even think she has a pair of shorts that fit her any more. But finding play dresses, that is, a dress that isn't too fancy but is still fun and cute, is not always the easiest thing. I'm always on the lookout, and I found some new ones from cool-t-shirt maker Appaman.

The Giraffe and Motorcycle Halter dresses are perfect for the summer, available in sizes 12 months to 5T and have those Appaman-style graphics. The catch? They're $42 each. It would make an awesome gift, but might be on the high side for most people's play-clothes budget.

Animals Climbing the Walls

Meredith Broussard — Sat, 22 Sep 2007 16:30:00 GMT

Ordinarily, I try to prevent my kid from putting stickers on the walls. Not so with these happy animal wall decals from Utah-based mom and illustrator Holly Jones. Check out the giraffe, the monkey, and the peacock for the little one's room, or the faux chandelier for elsewhere.

Prices start at $4.00 on Etsy.

Rock the Retro: Scratch Giraffe Scooter

Mir — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 21:03:00 GMT

Before there were Razor Scooters, before kids expected their ride-ons to be aerodynamic and go a hundred miles an hour and fold up to the size of a deck of cards, there were scooters. Real scooters. Made of wood, powered by nothing more than your feet.

I had one that looked an awful lot like this Giraffe Scooter by Scratch, and I loved it. I'm sure my parents didn't pay $102 for it back in the day, but if you simply must purchase this adorable bit of nostalgia, you can get yours at Moolka. Ages 2+.
