Babble

Every stuffed animal from Sok-O is made by hand from only one or two socks, and no two are exactly the same. They've only been around for about a year, but they instantly caught my eye when I was walking past them at ABC. You can buy just one Sok-O stuffed creature (with no buttons sewn on them)...

It's a running joke around our house that if it makes a good pet toy, then it'll make a good baby too. The folks over at Little Alouette seem to have been inspired by the same kind of thinking, as their Maple Doggie Bone Style Teether isn't for dogs, it's for babes. And, of course, giving...

Nursery wall art is a hot property right now between removable stickers and vintage prints, but I like artist Lisa Golightly's different take on the genre. She paints her silhouettes of children and animal onto textured wallpaper that she then mounts onto wood panels. The result is a charming piece...

Why do babies love to put wooden blocks in their mouths? The wood must be soothing and the size of a small block must fit perfectly in their tiny mouths. I've been planning on purchasing some wooden blocks for my daughter and I'm glad I waited. Petit Flaneur, a Toronto based company, produces...

I must be on a backpack kick, because other than my totally awesome find of a pigeon backpack , I also found these great hand-knit backpacks from Blabla Kids. The only thing I'm wondering is, how does a hand-knit backpack only cost $42? Every backpack is lined inside and is 12"x10". There...

Sunny already pointed you in the direction of some awesome Misfits crib shoes , but what's the well- devilocked baby to do for an outfit to go with them? Well, it's not officially on sale anywhere, but craftster poster acidtrix mentions that "I wish I knew some babies, I'd love to make...

Full disclosure: I know the designer/screenprinter behind the new Etsy site fauxsure, and the above photo is of my son Devin wearing one of fauxsure's designs. Yes, Devin looks super cute in his monster onesie , and your kid can too for just $16.50. We've even taken to calling him Devin-monster...

I posted about angel wings on slings a few weeks back, but what happens when the sling-wearing era is over? Well, you move right into T-shirts with wings. Created by cloud9designstudio on Etsy, the T-shirts ($28) feature detailed angel wing drawings in the appropriate location and are available in sizes...

If you have any love for creative, handmade goods and will be in Brooklyn this weekend, then get thee to the Renegade Craft Fair . It's one of my favorite summer events. Held at the McCarren Park Pool on Saturday and Sunday (June 14 and 15) from 11am to 7pm, the fair features many vendors of kid...

I don't look at Etsy enough, and whenever I hit up the website, I'm amazed by people's creativity (and passions). Lily's Rooster has a passion for our feathered friends. The L.A.-based mom uses natural fibers in her handmade toys whenever possible--cotton and wool yarn and bamboo stuffing...
