Girls' caplet by loopy design
2 recommendations
"So, I've been perusing the Back-to-School catalogs and am all giddy about this new trend: caplets or capes. True, I have a boy, but perhaps it's a harbinger and I will see some on the women's shelves this fall."

Bical Shoes for Babies and Kids
3 recommendations
"Love these. They are manufactured in Brazil and thus for some reason, for which I cannot pinpoint, look to me like they belong on the soccer field. It's a hybrid of sock meets water shoe."
Sleep Sheep!
2 recommendations
"Dr. Harvey Karp and his Five S's put the whole white noise thing on the map as one of the tools to use when calming a fussy baby. I like the Sleep Sheep's website description because it correctly promotes that this works for adults as well. Designed for babies and adults. Sleep Sheep is the perfect nighttime companion to help soothe the whole family to sleep in a safe, calming and effortles..."
Buddha Board – Water Painting Art
2 recommendations
"By Dooce for Alpha Mom The Buddha Board is the perfect art surface for kids who don’t appreciate the fact that Mama spent a lot of money on that rug in the living room so that the couch would look like it matched the curtains, not so that they could practice tracing its patterns with an orange crayon. The laptop folds up to form a portable easel, and using a sturdy bamboo paintbrush dipped in n..."
How to Con Your Kid: Simple Scams for Mealtime, Bedtime, Bathtime, Anytime!
1 recommendation
"By Jennifer Mattern (Breed em and weep) for Alpha Mom How to Con Your Kid sports the tagline “The Book Your Children Don’t Want You to Read.” My children don’t want me to read any books without Disney Princesses on the cover, but this one was definitely worth sneaking off to the bathroom with. The authors (who are behind the bestselling Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook series—perfect c..."
Meltdown! CD by Justin Roberts
1 recommendation
"By Matthew Baldwin (Defective Yeti) for Alpha Mom His newest release, “Meltdown!” only reaffirms what he demonstrated in his previous four CDs: that the appeal of truly good music spans the generations, regardless of whether it's labeled as "children's." Roberts fronted a small alt-folk band out of Minneapolis in a previous life, and the influence is unmistakable in “Meltdown!” The album al..."
Encyclopedia Prehistorica: Sharks and Other Sea Monsters
3 recommendations
"By Mrs. Kennedy of Fussy for Alpha Mom You should have heard my son, Jackson, when he first got his hands on this pop-up book. He opened the first page and shouted, "WOW!" He turned the next page and became thoroughly entranced. "WOW," he said. I left him in silence at the dining room table to go unload the dishwasher and all I heard in the kitchen was, "WOW." Pause. "WOW." Pause. "WOW." A ..."
Pacifier Drier
1 recommendation
"By Secret-Agent-Josephine for Alpha Mom I fell in love with the pacifier drier the minute I saw it. I loved the three round faces cut out of smooth light wood. It was design at its simplest, yet still so cute. To me, the three roly-poly snowman faces were gasping "Oh no!" like there was something behind me that I must be looking out for. So disarming, yet charming at once! Then I realized wh..."
Jeeto! Allergy Collection
1 recommendation
"By Cara Schrock for Alpha Mom When a red, infant-sized "Dairy Free" t-shirt from Jeeto!’s Allergy Collection arrived on my doorstep, I thought the Fashion Gods had finally answered my prayers. Style and practicality: A cute t-shirt my allergic son could wear to remind everyone around him that he shouldn’t eat dairy foods."
The Grand Cape by Argington
1 recommendation
"By Alice Bradley of Finslippy for Alpha Mom Then, before I could put him into therapy, the Grand Cape arrived. Constructed of a space–age glittery material and featuring a triumphant gold star smack dab in the center, I had chosen to review it because I knew it would appeal to Henry’s superhero aspirations. It wasn’t until it arrived that I knew what it was really for. Henry’s eyes widened ..."
Lensbabies >>> Selective Focus SLR camera lenses
2 recommendations
"By Tracey Clark for Alpha Mom This photo toy-- with the cutest name in the industry-- is actually a lens that works on any standard SLR camera. What a Lensbaby does is help the user create ethereal, dreamy photographs while keeping one curiously sharp focal point and manages to transform even the most mundane subjects into works of art. Just navigating around the Lensbabies website makes me dr..."
Kids' Shoes by Preschoolians
2 recommendations
"By JenB for Alpha Mom Honestly though, I love the shoes, I love the website, but by far the coolest thing is designing your, I mean your child's, own shoe. You can pick the colors for all parts of the shoe; uppers, sides, tops, laces, straps, depending on the shoe style. I spent an ungodly amount of time on the site and soon as I was sent the url. This would actually be a great activity for you..."
Peacemonkey-D.I.Y Tees
2 recommendations
"I really love anything that a child can make and then wear. These tees have a large square in the middle for your little one to draw something cool and wear it around proudly."
