Here’s a fun beach towel that is the perfect size for infants and toddlers. Made by Pottery Barn Kids, it features a great fish print that works well for both boys and girls. Velour on one side and looped terry on the other, this towel is luxuriously soft and absorbent. The bold colors will definitely stand out at the pool or beach. You can purchase one for $16 at potterybarnkids.com. Have it personalized for an additional $6.50. Your little one can continue to use it for bath time fun even when the warm weather ends.

Pepper Toes, the boys’ line from Baby Lulu’s Erin Murphy, has really come  a long way recently. Their collections this year have been so much more edgy and hip than I remember them being previously. My latest find is this great Fish Flocked Romper.I love the combination of blues and brown, and the fish itself is adorable.

It is available in sizes from birth to 24 months, and is perfect for casual summer wear. A great wagon version is also available. You can purchase one for $39.50 at babylulu.com.

Does your daughter already have a purse-addiction?  Or, does she need a small bag to carry around her treasures or her hard-earned allowance?  If so, you might want to take a look at this cute dolphin purse from Kids Preferred. Perfectly-sized for little hands, this 10 inch purse is just big enough to hold the necessities without being burdensome.  The cute dolphin which forms the body  of the purse also makes a cheerful playmate.

This would make a great gift for a toddler or other young child. You can one for the very reasonable price of $14.95 at FatBrainToys.com.

The Scoop Pour N Squirt Water Fish by Sassy will keep your little ones entertained during bath time. If you have reluctant bathers, having a fun water toy might make things go a little smoother when it’s time to jump in the tub.

It never ceases to amaze me how water play can keep a child busy having fun. You don’t even have to have a fancy water toy, just an old plastic pitcher and plastic cups. But this scoop and pour is fun to look at and the little water fish fill with water when submersed and come up ready to squirt.

The Travel Toys Aquarium from Latitude Enfant looks like a fun and entertaining play set for your little ones. It includes a fuzzy fish and a wiggly octopus puppet on the outside. Inside, there’s a fishing pole along with four fish to catch, a container of fish food, a memory game, and a number recognition game. That’s a lot of things to keep track of, but wait - everything fits into a zippered carrying case. That’s the part I like best. It’s self-contained and even the carrying case is fun to play with. Also, it’s all machine washable (cold water) and just hang to dry.

The Travel Toys Aquarium was designed in Paris, France. You can purchase this item at oompa.com for $29.99. It would also make a terrific Christmas gift.

If you are looking for a unique baby gift, or something fun to brighten your own baby’s room, you should check out the great offerings at the Two Little Banshees Etsy store.  There are a wide range of fun and just a little bit goofy designs to choose from.  I am particularly drawn to this pink fish, which is just silly looking enough to be absolutely adorable.  The handmade fish is constructed from cotton and stuffed with polyfill.  Any little child would have a great time with this toy, and it would also make a great room decoration.  You can purchase one for $37 at Etsy.

Although the products are made in Australia, the shipping prices are in keeping with what you would expect to pay for a product in the US.

I think every infant and toddler should have one of these fun and crazy hats from Zooni.  I’m partial to this Under the Sea hat, which features an orange clown fish on a blue background.  You child will be the center of attention whereever he/she goes, and will stay warm at the same time.

Zooni’s hats have won acclaim from celebrity moms such as Tori Spelling, Brooke Shields, and Courtney Cox, and has been featured in Parents Magazine.  One of these adorable and unique creations would make a great gift.  You can purchase one for $32.50 at zooniwear.com.

This summer outfit caught my eye right away - might be a good idea for keeping track of your toddler. I love the colorful print of the Fish Tee with Seascape Shorts by Me Too because it reminds me of all the fun our family had at the local aquariums. Make it a special outfit for outings to the beach (Cabrillo Beach in So. California has a Marine Museum that’s really fun for kids) or for your trip up to the Monterey Bay Aquarium - oh, don’t forget Sea World! These were some of our best times in the summer.

This set is available in sizes from 9 months to 4 yrs and is !00% cotton, machine washable. It’s on sale for $59.00 at LittleBoyChic.com.
