Jonathan Adler Blue Elephant Bank

First to recommend

Description

The boy-friendly version of Jonathan Adler's pink elephant bank, this stoneware bank is a fun variation on the standard piggy bank. The sculpted form is design-savvy and acts as a nice introduction to arty homewares for a young id.

Jonathan Adler Black Elephant Bank

First to recommend

Description

The most rugged of Jonathan Adler's Elephant Banks, this black stoneware piece is slightly reminiscent of Oaxacan pottery. Simple textures make the piece understated with just a touch of the fun the characterizes so much of Adler's work.

Lola Gorilla Chalkal

First to recommend

Description

Most people would rather never have to deal with an oversized gorilla running at their child, but this guy seems harmless. He's also made out of adhesive chalkboard vinyl, which means that children can draw on him in chalk and then wipe it away to start over again.

Kässeli Piggy Bank

2 people recommended this item

Description

A fabulous looking bank that comes as 5 wooden pieces you put together yourself. Looks as though it's inspired by Piet Mondrian, so it makes it on two of my lists!

Chalkals UFO

First to recommend

Description

A great mixture of wall decal and chalkboard, this Chalkals flying saucers adhesive vinyl chalkboard gives your child a validated excuse to write on the walls. You generally see this type of thing come in the form of an animal silhouette, but this UFO variation is great for kids with a little more imagination.

Baby Knit Octopus

First to recommend

Description

I'll sign off on this Baby Knit Octopus, if for no other reason that the fact that octopi never look even remotely as cute as this in real life. Great for kids, the piece is made from natural wool yarn and treated with vegetable-based dyes, so it's non-toxic. The piece is also hand-knit by a collective associated with East Africa Hub, a Kenyan non-profit geared toward empowering artisans.

notNeutral Count Toddler T-Shirt

First to recommend

Description

This Count tee shirt from notNeutral cleverly blends a kid's interest in numbers with a parent's concern for exposing a child to design. A nice introduction to typeface comes through in this 100% cotton tee, available in sizes for toddlers of all ages.

Gloomy Bear Ramen Bowl

First to recommend

Description

I love the idea of getting to the bottom of a bowl of ice cream and seeing Gloomy Bear tearing somebody up. This customized ramen bowl comes with a Gloomy Bear box and is a reasonably obscure item of Mori Chack design. (Acrylics not included)

Plush Heart

7 people recommended this item

Description

What's not to love about the heart. It keeps you alive, after all. Show your appreciation by going to sleep each night clutching a plush representation of it. (Much cuter than the real thing!)

Witch Gloomy Bear

First to recommend

Description

Just in time for Halloween, it's Witch Gloomy Bear. I'm not sure that a witch costume presents the most efficient scenario for mauling humans. But there's got to be some amazing ironic humor in it.
