You might be thinking it's a bit odd to bathe a baby in a "bucket" ...in a Tummy Tub? Take that up with the Dutch mid-wives who have made it common practice, also known as "bucket therapy"! They found that newborns were much more comfortable & relaxed being bathed in a "bucket" versus an infant bath, as the babies remained warm & contained, much like their time in the womb!
The Tummy Tub is available in 4 colors and has an optional stand, the 2 Step Stool. Unlike traditional baby baths, the Tummy Tub has an extended life after baby is done with it -- as a toy bin, waste basket, or storage container and can even be recycled!

Lunch time can get a bit redundant. I know. And really, the issue is not so much the food, but how it looks. Part creative lunchtime chef, part clever marketer. Meet the Lunch Punch, a part of March's Forest Finds.
The Lunch Punch is not a set of cookie cutters. Both Lunch Punch sets are twice the height of standard cookie cutters, specially designed by an Australian mom to conquer even the thickest bread. The Lunch Punch cuts sandwiches into fun, interactive and engaging shapes making lunch time more fun.... for everyone!
It's true. I was perhaps a tad skeptical of the power of the Lunch Punch. After my 4 year old ate his entire "puzzle" sandwich... i quickly reconsidered. And hearing my sons say "Mama, can you make me a dolphin sandwich for lunch" .... is music to my ears. Really.

Affordable, durable, wild abandon.... fun. New to the States, the Early Rider series of wood balance bikes are a UK favorite and are a part of March's Forest Finds.
The Early Rider bikes are available in 3 sizes -- the smallest sized perfectly for your toddler as young as 20 months! The pedal-free design encourages mobility & rapid development of balance, strength and fine motor skills as well as developing a sense of freedom that helps a young child to develop and grow.

Baby chic at it's finest. Petunia Pickle Bottom has a snap to them. They know what colors your like and they know how many pockets your really need in a "diaper bag". They also knew that yes, a fold out changing pad would be really helpful.
Petunia Pickle Bottom's Original collection features 4 bag styles: the Boxy Backpack (above, left), the Shoulder Bag (above, right), the Touring Tote (middle) and the Town Clutch (not shown).
The color combinations and fabric designs are spectacular. If pink & brown is your thing, check out Morning in Machu Picchu... or perhaps my new fav? The turquoise and yellow combination of Tranquil Tibet.
Classic meets modern. Oilo's crib bedding, furniture and room decor mixes classic motifs in a bold, modern way. So simple, so sophisticated. I was thrilled to see Oilo's cobalt // navy blue crib bedding set. Playful without the fluff! Wouldn't that just look fantastic with some red accent pieces?! And an anchor perhaps?
Oilo also has 3 beautiful gliders as well. I totally love the shape of the Penelope Gilder with the Pouf Footstool.
Another bonus? All Oilo products are made in the USA.
Affordable toys don't have to make your family room look like a daycare! Meet Kid O toys. Affordable (ranging in price of $10 to $14 with the blocks starting at $44), interesting (fractions! color matching!) and gooooood lookin'.
All Kid O toys are made of sustainable wood (even the books!) with non-toxic finishes and meet all USA and European safety standards.
Fun!
I can't believe that February is almost over! Such a lovely month it has been. We featured a burst of sunshine in the Forest Finds this month with Sundrop's charming felt hair clips.
Sundrop hair clips are made in the USA by a mother of 3 kids. Each clip is handmade using high quality wool felt with embroidered detailing.
While i love the birds & the flower designs, my favorite is the Mini Cherries, shown above, right.
February Forest Finds! The 1st picks of 2010! This month we have featured three independent designers, new to fawn&forest.
This is what I love:
1. Kid O. Simple learning toys, aesthetically beautiful and full of opportunity. When has a fraction puzzle ever been so exciting?!
2. Oilo. Spring green at it's finest. Baby will love the bold graphics and Mom will like happy too. A sophisticated, hip nursery!
3. Sundrop. A tiny drop of sunny sweetness for your little girl. 8 styles available, my favorite has to be the Mini Cherries.
Be sure to check out the full selection here.

Today's project: wrapping paper... it is so fun to make!
Here's how to make wrapping paper with a potato stamp:
1. gather your children.
2. gather some paper (recycled newsprint, brown paper bags, kraft paper...anything that's large enough to wrap gifts)
3. gather paint. acrylic, washable paint is best. i'm keeping with the red/aqua theme and used aqua paint.
4. gather the potatoes.
5. learn how to make a potato stamp here.
6. using the potato stamp, print onto paper. children love the printing part, obviously... so let them have at it!
7. let dry! wrap!
Today's pick are an adorable clique of fabric dolls by Sophie & Lili - fun to play with and quite cozy on your little girl's bed.
