Teaching organization and exposing a child to tools of craftmaking are ideal, but doing so with an item made from recycled materials is even better.

Mod Rocker

2 people recommended this item

Description

More a rocker for mommy and daddy with a design agenda (not throwing any stones, here) than for baby, this mod rocker looks a little better than it functions for a small child. But how great it looks... Also made from sustainably-forested wood.

Daschund Lamp / Pure Design

11 people recommended this item

Description

Kind of a toss-up as to who I'd be buying this for--my kid or myself. Fortunately, it's both cute enough for a kid and clever enough for an adult's sensibility.

Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions

5 people recommended this item

Description

Sort of hit-or-miss, and probably more for the parents than for the kids. One of the toughest pills to swallow for parents who are really into music is that their kids are going to want to listen to Raffi or Big Bird more than Radiohead or Thelonious Monk.

Roll-Top Bench

6 people recommended this item

Description

For a design firm with such great ideas for contemporary furniture, Offi has a some really cool concepts for kids, too. For any adult concerned with the clutter caused by toys and/or looking for space saving solutions for a child's room, or the spaces kids tend to take up all over the house, this bench is a winner.

Dottie Dress by Enfant Terrible

First to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

Children can get away with making slightly more outrageous choices with apparel. So why not give them the chance. 100% cotton in sizes ranging from 6-mos to 3T, the latter of which is probably going to be a bit cuter.
