one for the bubs: best. board books. ever.

This recommendation comes not only from me, but from the Englishman, the Pea, and the three other families with whom we've already shared these books.

 

'Dinosaur vs Bedtime' is joyful, hilarious, apt and sure to make you and your little one giggle. 'Pantone Colours' (available in either US or UK English) is a funky and luscious reminder that the 7 or so colours usually used in children's products are not the extent of the spectrum.

 

 Experience wonder and delight by ordering these two books immediately. I cannot imagine you regretting it. The Book Depository has them at good prices and offers free shipping. The final word must belong to Dinosaur...

 

 

Dinosaur wins!

one for the bubs: brio bell rattle

The Pea is demonstrating her favourite new toy, the Brio bell rattle. It's so easy for her to grasp and, as it rolls, will continue to be interesting when she sits and crawls. We found it at Kidstuff, on special for $9.99, usually $16.99. You can buy it online here.

one for the bubs: striped merino onesie

Another natural fibre beauty for the little ones: these 100% merino wool onesies are available at Aldi from Wednesday 11 July 2012.

They are stocking sizes 000 to 2 and cost $14.99. Hurrah for Aldi!

Thanks to the girls who have let me know the products and ideas they are searching for. Please post a comment if I can help you find it!

one for the bubs: all natural blanket

This gorgeous cotton blanket is currently stocked by Kmart. It's delightfully unisex, classic and such a nice change from the ubiquitous determinedly cheerful prints. And it's only $10!

As an added bonus, I've noticed that my living room looks less messy if the baby gear strewn around has more natural tones! However if brights are more your thing, you can see that they have two other great striped options.
Happy shopping!
