What a cool way for a child to learn the alphabet! The Silicone Alphabet Letter Ice & Bake Tray Set is constructed of FDA approved silicone!

These trays can be used in the fridge, freezer and oven. Yum...I can just imagine making grape juice letter cubes.

If I had these trays I would spell out “I love mom” and put the cubes in my son's juice.

All thrills and no spills with Silibibs

Lisa Estall — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 00:30:00 GMT

Want something different in a bib? These are not made of cloth, but of food grade silicone! Silikids was created by two moms who wanted to produce a line for children that was hypoallergenic, toxin-free, and made entirely out of silicone. The result are these cool Silibibs!

The Silibib lays flat on a child's chest and is easy to wipe clean. That's a plus for a parent.

The rubbery feel reminds me of a mini place mat! I think they are very stylish and what's great is that they are dishwasher and dryer friendly. Also, they come in four attractive colors.

Visit Silikids to buy them.

Baby Knee Pads: Sili or Sensible?

Cathy Hale — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 19:30:00 GMT

Eco-friendly guilt-free Baby Knee Pads? Who would've thunk it? Silikids, it seems.

Now you can let your little crawler scoot around the house until his heart is content, without feeling guilty about his red irritated kneecapless knees. From tile to hard woods to Berber, all surfaces are easily maneuverable thanks to Silipads.

Silipads are sock-like knee pads that baby will actually wear because they aren't bulky and awkward. And after baby crawls around the house all day, just toss them in the washer AND the dryer. Thanks to the silicone pads, the cute colors won't fade.

What do you think? Does baby need knee pads during the crawling months?

ABC Kids Expo 2008: Siliskin Silicone Glass Bottle Covers

Chris Ford — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 16:04:00 GMT

We've written about Silikids Kneepads before, and the same company that protected crawling baby's knees with silicone is now also making sure your baby has a good grip on their bottle. Siliskin is a universal silicone bottle skin that works on all sizes of glass bottles, with standard (large and small) as well as wide neck sizes. The Siliskin is microwave safe, dishwasher safe, hypo allergenic and might even help prevent the glass bottle from breaking. They can even be washed on the bottle or off and are translucent so you can see measurements.

Personally we were a plastic bottle family. But if you've decided to go with glass bottles for your baby, buying some Siliskins to go with them kind of seems like a no brainer.

Siliskin, $12.00 for an 8oz. version and $8.00 for a 4oz. version from Silikids.com

7 Days of BPA-Free Plastics: Green to Grow Bottles

Heather Kuldell — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 14:03:00 GMT

Have you mastered which plastics are safe yet? I know my county recycles #1, #2 and #4, but I still need to look up which ones may leech into our food. For the record, #1, #2, #4, and #5 are supposed to be safe. Avoid #3, #6 and #7. For now anyway. Green to Grow Bottles qualify as safe, and bonus, they have a cute fruit logo.

The company uses PES plastic that’s a light yellow, but it doesn’t contain new scariness like phthalates and bisphenol A or old worries like lead and PVC. Each bottle comes with a nitrosamine-free silicone nipple and can be cleaned on the top rack of a dishwasher. It comes with beginner nipples for newborns to three-months olds, but others can be purchases in three-packs for $3.99.

Green to Grow offers four options: a 5-ounce and 10-ounce sizes in either regular or wide necks. Bottles cost from $7.49 to $9.99. Additional nipples are avilable in three packs for $3.99.
