Here is this week’s Top 4 Squeaky Stroller Etsy Extravaganza! Featuring the latest and greatest finds for mom, baby, and kids.

scandeez’s shop: baby moks

The best shoe for a baby is a soft shoe and these moks are super soft! The uppers are new leather and the inside sole and exterior sole are made from reclaimed leather. The tops are a most wonderful dusty rose color. The mok has an elasticized top for comfy fit and makes it harder for baby to kick off. Then when you are holding baby, everyone will see the cute cutout on the bottom of the foot.

countreetoyshoppe’s shop: Logging Truck

The logging Truck is 3″ wide X 8 1/2″ X long X 3 3/4″ high.
It has 6 removeable “logs” (1/2″ hardwood dowels). The Truck and Trailer separate. The Loader-Dozer has a removeable person (size 7/8″ dia. X 2 1/2″) not considered a choking hazard. The blade or bucket raises and lowers. Both are made from 8/4″ ash. All edges are rounded and sanded smooth. Mineral oil finish.

benfloeter’s shop: New Red Birch Yo Yo

Each YoYo is one-of-kind and has its own unique character. They are made with various sustainably harvested woods from our own tiny forest! These are assembled with the utmost care. The wood is carefully selected, hand cut, meticulously shaped, sanded and dipped in a clear gloss lacquer. The strings are 100% cotton, professional Yo Yo strings! Each YoYo measures approximately 2″ diameter. Before leaving the shop, they must pass rigorous testing by Ben himself, to insure that you will receive a quality product that works like a charm! These particular yo yo’s have been beveled and shaped to increase the balance and speed.

4pippi’s shop: Dresses and Skirts

Here is a lovely little dress made from a mens’ shirt. The dress has raglan sleeves and a comfy drawstring neck in a contrasting fabric. I think it looks cute with or without the belt. It fits a girls size 3 to 5.

ECHOage Eco-Friendly Parties

Here’s a great birthday party concept that gives back, teaches children giving, helps the environment AND makes party planning EASY for busy parents! Would love to coordinate a story with the founders, a benefitting charity or a past/future participant! Introducing ECHOage, the innovative website easily helps parents turn their child’s birthday party into a time for giving and receiving — by inviting party guests to contribute money online.

ECHOage then pools and divides the funds, with half going towards the purchase of ONE memorable gift for the birthday child and the other half going to a charity of their choice — hence the company’s mantra of “One Gift, One Cause.” ECHOage‘s online tool simply redirects funds already being spent on birthday gifts for a child’s party. Children still have the party they want because any party can be an ECHOage party. The birthday child chooses one large, memorable present and has the opportunity to contribute to the world, which makes them feel part of something meaningful.

ERGO Baby Carrier w/ Retro Lining

derrick — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 18:09:39 +0000

The ERGO Baby Carrier’s ($105.00) ergonomic design supports a correct sitting position for the baby’s hip, pelvis and spine growth. It disperses most of the baby’s weight between the hips and thighs, which helps to eliminate compression of the spine when hanging by the crotch which most other designs require. The ERGO also balances the baby’s weight to parents’ hips and shoulders, and alleviates physical stress for the parent.

Eco Baby Book

julie — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 15:30:02 +0000

Eco Baby, A Guide to Green Parenting by Sally Jane Hall, is the latest book from Green Books ($15.79). A simple title but a massive subject, but at 224 pages it’s small enough to be manageable and is also broken into sections which means dipping in and out is easy.

Earthball

julie — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 15:03:02 +0000

Kids will have a ball with this amazing inflatable globe. Created with NASA satellite photos, the whopping 40″-diameter ball is an astronaut’s-eye-view of the world. Lightweight and portable, it’s fun at the beach, in the backyard, and great for classroom show-and-tell. And check this out — the cities even glow in the dark! Comes with a handbook full of educational games, activities and resources for further exploration. Earthball.

Moo-tiful New Cowprint Towel from Cuddledry

derrick — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 18:29:11 +0000

Award-winning baby bath towel company Cuddledry – known nationwide for turning down three offers from the infamous BBC2 Dragons – has created a gorgeous new cowprint version of its ingenious baby bath apron, for added bathtime fun. The Cuddledry towel has rapidly gained a reputation as a ‘must have’ item for all new parents thanks to its ability to reduce bathtime stress. It enables parents to wear the towel like an apron, leaving both hands free for bathing and lifting babies out of the bath, and literally cuddling them dry. It comes with single-handed poppers that allow simple removal before lying baby down, still snugly wrapped. Just like the original award-winning Cuddledry baby bath towel, the ‘moo-tiful’ new cowprint version is made of premium-quality organic unbleached cotton and sustainable bamboo fibre, making it extra absorbent, fast drying and silky soft. The eco-friendly towel also offers natural antibacterial properties, making it perfect for sensitive baby skin. Its unique double-layer system, with a hood, quickly draws water away from baby’s skin and hair, while the long length provides a cosy cocoon to ensure baby dries quickly with minimum stress. The cowprint design comes in fawn and natural ecru white cow print on one side with natural white on the other, and costs £29.99. The Original Cuddledry towels are also available in Oatmeal/Natural White; Dusty Pink/Natural White, Dusty Blue/Natural White and Natural White/Natural White, and cost £24.99. They can be bought online at www.cuddledry.com, or log on to find a list of stockists. See the website for a full listing.
