Generate: Kids' Blanket

2 people recommended this item

Description

Adding a hand-made touch to something that your infant or toddler comes into contact with regularly is not a bad way to instill a sense of good design. This piece effortlessly incorporates a very approachable design element (the kind that kid's respond to and remember) that's both simple and unique.

Kidmodern Art - Drums

First to recommend

Description

This print marks a really nice point between what a parent (or maybe a grandparent) can visually appreciate and what a kid can get excited about. Kind of pricey, but, uh, "that's art?"

Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions

4 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.

Pia Wallen Baby Slippers

Description

Simple, effective design works for babies, too. And they have such an easier time getting away with wearing loud colors.

Swallow Mobile

First to recommend

Description

Looks incredibly cool, but also keenly recognizes that babies are pretty much just looking for contrast when they spend all their time on their backs gazing up.

Coco Lounger for baby in Wood

2 people recommended this item

Description

I was never a huge fan of these things, preferring to carry the baby around in a sling or let her swing. But I understand the idea of a child wanting to relax while watching you halfway across the room, and that scenario looks pretty stylish with this lounger.

I'm with sand. Impossible to keep a hat on my kid's head, which is all the more frustrating when the hat is this incredibly cute.
