Crayon holders are a great, practical idea for kids, and this Retro Dot Crayon Holder by etsy seller KateWDesigns is an attractive way for your child to hold and carry crayons wherever she goes. I like the fact that the crayon holder rolls up easily to fit into Mom’s purse, diaper bag, the car, a backpack — wherever. I can’t count the number of times I’ve been in a restaurant with my son, who’s bored and hungry, and crayons aren’t offered by the hostess to entertain him. If I can’t find a stray crayon or two in the bottom of my pocketbook, he’s not happy. Now, I won’t have to worry, as I can easily carry crayons with us on the go. You can view all of Kate Williams’ creations at KateWDesigns.etsy.com, where this Retro Dot Crayon Holder sells for $12.

If you are looking for a bathing suit for a baby girl, this Tahitian Dot one piece from Flap Happy is a great option. I love the bold combination of dots and stripes. It even comes with a built in swim diaper to make getting ready for the pool or a beach a little bit easier. I think this would look great on a chubby little baby just starting to sit up or toddle. You can purchase one for $36 at forgetmenotkids.com. It is available in sizes from 6-24 months.

This hip Celery Dot blanket from Zutano offers a fresh modern print that is perfect for a boy or a girl.

I think this would make a great on-the-go blanket. It measures 30″ x 40″ and is made from 100% cotton. You can purchase one for $34.45 at ComfyKid.com. I think it would make a wonderful shower gift, too.
