Both of my children successfully made it out of diapers with the help of the Ikea LÄTTSAM potty. This no fuss, no muss potty is a sure winner with it’s simple design and affordable price.  So cheap that you could buy multiple potties in a rainbow of colors so as not to be caught off guard when nature calls.

The 4 year old me is having a hissy fit right about now because I never had the opportunity to play with one of these spectacular wooden Stackhouses by Toideloi.  Whether building a dollhouse, castle or a skyscraper, your child’s imagination will run wild as they stack and unstack levels to create a structure of their own.  Designed by a Dutch designer, Martijn van Tilburg, the wooden Stackhouse is made from FSC certified Baltic Birch plywood and is made to be easily assembled and disassembled.  This toy is a must have for any playroom.

Rather than the strenuous and time consuming task of painting the nursery or playroom, why not add a whimsical wall decal instead.  A wall decal is a simple and inexpensive alternative to paint.  With so many options  of beautifully illustrated wall decals, it could be hard to choose.  Unlike paint though, you’ll have a better idea of how it will look  before you get it on the wall.

At first glance the Woombie swaddle may look a little… strange.  Though once you realize that it’s a zip up swaddle, you’ll soon realize how practical and cozy it really is.  Unlike swaddling your baby with a blanket, this swaddle won’t come loose keeping baby snug and warm.  This award winning design was created to mimic the feel of the womb baby can gently stretch within the Woombie without accidentally scratching the face or over heating.  My professional blanket swaddling skills are so wasted now!

Now this is a toy that I wouldn’t mind staying in the living room.  This modern rocking horse is perfect for toddlers learning the fine art of balance.

Journey through the pacific as you take a ride on the alphabet with the A Pacific Alphabet picture book.  My kids and I have yet to get bored with this children’s book unlike many others that have been pushed to the back of the bookshelf.  A Pacific Alphabet is a great introduction to story telling while becoming familiar with the ABC’s.  Each page contains vibrantly detailed illustrations with hidden objects pertaining to each letter of the alphabet.  As your child grows, so will his/her ability to spot each of these objects.  The fun rhythm of the writing and the whimsical imagery will make this book a hit at story time.
