If you have kids, or are friends with people who have kids, you know those kids grow like weeds. What better gift to give them than a Ruler for Measuring the Growth of Human Beings? (Call it what it is, right?) Made from birch plywood, each ruler is individually screen printed by hand in two colours. As it is from Rob Ryan, a nice little poem threads throughout the imagery.

How. cute. are. these. For real, at these prices, I’m seriously thinking I could find a spot for one somewhere in our kid-less abode. They’re just too darn adorable.

These dvds are intended for a baby’s developing mind and vision, though if you take a look, you might find your very own self attracted to the black and white animations and accompanying music. Basic shapes move slowly and methodically while maintaining a sense of playfulness that borders between entertainment and meditation, which seems an unlikely sort of mix, but there you go. If you’ve got a little one, it wouldn’t hurt to try it out. Here’s a list of stores or you can order directly through Wee See.
Created by Rolyn Barthelman.

A basket that becomes a rug…you can’t say that for all those wicker versions out there, but you can for this little guy. Seems like it would be really handy for toting around a little one’s toys and miscellany; unfold it and it becomes a play surface, fold it back up and it’ll corral everything all over again.
A cute basket made of felt (polyester 80%, rayon 20%). It has a cute face, but it’s sturdier than it looks! Spread it out and you can use it as a mat/sheet/rug as well. This Akanbe Folding Basket has many uses: arranging magazines, storing children’s toys, shopping, outdoor picnic and much more.
Package Size: 47cm x 3.8cm x 47cm
Mat/Rug Size (when open): 1050mm x 1000mm x 3mm
$128.50, Buy it here.

This is just about the smartest high chair ever seen. It folds flat for easy transport and fits onto most regular chairs with extendable arms and sturdy straps. You can also add back legs to make it stand alone as a small chair. To see more info, visit their site.

Extendable arms allow it to be secured to most styles of chair, even those with rounded backs. It works on chairs with a back height of 12-19” and back width greater than 13.5”. The HandySitt folds flat so you can toss it in a closet or trunk, hang it on a wall, or pack it in a suitcase. Folded, it measures 21” x 3” x 12”, and at 5lbs, it’s ultra-compact and an easy haul…
7 different finishes: Natural or black painted birch, with red, brushed steel or black metal arms, or Antique.

This is pretty neat (and cheap!).
A glass that looks like it is filled with milk, but in fact, the inside has a special coating that lights up when you flip the switch. Now, you only have to flip the switch once though, because if you don’t want it to be on anymore, just turn it upside down and voila, it’s off… Perfect for a nightlight, or next to your bed or in the bathroom, or for the kids or – you get it, there are a ton of usage occasions that you can come up with.
