Funkoos is a line of 100% organic baby clothing that is completely free of chemicals and pesticides. They are designed to be stylish and affordable, sometimes an oxymoron when it comes to organic apparel. I particularly like this Monkey Stack Organic Bodysuit. Made of 100% certified organic cotton, it looks like it would feel so soft against baby’s skin. Embroidered on the front with a chain of monkeys, it should make babies (and adults) smile. Selling for $16.99 at Funkoos.com, the onesie comes in sizes from 0-3 months to 18-24 months.

This is one of those products that make you wonder, “Why didn’t I think of that?” The BeBe Bottle Sling by Ergo was designed by a mom to provide hands-free bottle feeding to your infant when you need to use your hands for other tasks. The BeBe Bottle Sling attaches to a car seat, putting infants in the correct, healthy, semi-upright position for feeding. Also, because of the sling’s suspended design and attractive appearance, babies are encouraged to grab for the bottle, helping them learn to hold it themselves more quickly. It would also be an asset to parents of multiples. This monkey design will be followed by a pink kitten, blue puppy, and black & white cow designs this fall. You can purchase the BeBe Bottle Sling at BottleSling.com, where it sells for $19.95.

The Snoogie Seat is a unique, handmade soft seat designed for newborns. In the shape of a monkey, it has arms with velcro that “hugs” your baby as she reclines in the seat. With an inner cushion of cotton/polyester and a fleece removable outer cover, the Snoogie Seat is made to keep your child comfy and cozy. It also has a loop on which you can hang a child’s toy. Created by Daddy’s Design, the Snoogie Seat is available in Brown Monkey or Pink Monkey, for $49.99, at Shop.DaddysDesign.com.

Like a sale but still want something special? The Alimrose Pink Floppy Monkey Doll caught my eye immediately when I clicked on the sale items at bellydancebaby.com. Plush and pretty and just original enough to stand out, this happy monkey is on sale for $30 ($14 savings.)  I like it for a new baby gift to go along with a sweet soft blanket or a basket of toys and sleepers.  I can’t see this floppy monkey being a flop with any child.

Still holding out for something a little less costly? Check out Tavitts.com for Ty 10” Baby Dangles Pink Monkey. Super cute, pink, and fluffy, just like the Alimrose version, but at a fraction of the cost for $6.95. At our house, we think Ty stuffies are soft and huggable and just the right price.

These “Julius” monkey slippers by Small Paul are not only incredibly comfortable but also highly stylish for either boys or girls – pink ones are also available. Perfect for after bath time, they are made from super- fine terry toweling with a felt appliqué of Julius the monkey on the front. I just love the retro look of these slippers. They’re sure to bring a big smile to the face of any monkey- loving toddler. My son is not fond of wearing slippers of any kind, preferring to run around barefoot all day long, but I’m pretty sure even he couldn’t resist these particularly adorable slippers. If only they had them in my size! They come in children’s sizes small, large, or extra large and were priced at $19.95 but are now available at 50% off for $9.98 from sandboxcouture.com

I have purchased several toys from Under the Nile for our new baby and have been very pleased with them.  Not only are they eco-friendly, but they are absolutely adorable. 

I just came across this cute little monkey, and was really drawn to his cheerful appearance.  Made from 100% organic cotton using fair trade practices, this monkey has a friendly, embroidered face that will surely make him a great pal to your child.  His body is made from a pleasant floral print. 

This would make a great toy for either a boy or a girl and would also look great decorating a shelf in a nursery or bedroom.  You can purchase one on sale for $12.40 at NubiusOrganics.com.  He would also make a wonderful gift.

Visit BarefootBella.net where you can purchase this item for just $8. Animal characters available include Monkey, Elephant, Tiger, and Lion in red, blue, black and tan.

What kid doesn’t like to roll balls and knock things over? I know mine thinks bowling is a fun sport to engage in and will do so with delight. I spotted these wooden bowling sets at the Australian shop The Hip Infant and liked the looks of this Monkey Bowling Set best of all. Manufactured by Hip Stuff, it’s recommended for ages 3 and up, but what a great first birthday gift for your favorite child. The cute and colorful monkeys in overalls can be bowled over by a brightly multi-colored bowling ball or set up on a nursery dresser or shelf for an attractive decorative piece.

The set comes with six 8 cm monkeys for $14.95 at The Hip Infant.

It goes without saying that you want anything that touches your baby to be as soft as possible. How about a Cashmere Monkey? Just looking at this cuddle toy you know that those long arms and legs are going to get mooshed. I know it’s a monkey, but it’s an elegant monkey! Can’t wait to squish it - I mean, for my baby to have fun with it!

If you are looking for a special outfit for your little one to wear on his or her first birthday, look no further than this birthday pants set from Liliputians NYC.  The Silly Sock Monkey Pants Set is available in pink, blue, white, or brown.

The shirt features a friendly sock monkey whose hat announces your child’s age.  Both short and long sleeved versions are available.

The pants are made to look as though they were made from the same fabric as a sock money, and are cuffed with a  birthday-themed fabric.  I’m not sure how practical this outfit would be after the big day has passed, but it is a very fun idea.

The set is 100% cotton and machine washable.  It is available in a number of sizes, from 6 months to 8 years.  You can purchase one for $99.95 from TheSillyWagon.com.

The Personalized Monkey Business Gift Set is the ultimate baby gift. It includes a backpack, personalized with your little monkey’s name or initial on the flap. Also part of the monkey-themed set is a short-sleeved onesie (fits 6-12 mos), a bib that says “I throw food!”, a burp cloth that says, “I Catch Food!”, a brag book that says, “Monkeying Around,” and a photo frame that says, “Just Hangin’ Out.”
