Tired of seeing the same Halloween costumes very year?  Check out this delightfully original hedgehog costume from Pottery Barn Kids.  I’m always a big fan of anything featuring hedgehogs, but this costume will surely bring a smile to your face even if you aren’t normally a hedgie fan.

The costume is made from warm polyester fleece and features tons of “quills” made out of soft felt.  The body of the suit has a zippered closure, and the headpiece, complete with cute little ears, secured with a Velcro strap.  The costume can be either spot cleaned or dry cleaned.  It is available in sizes from 0-6 mos to 4-6 years.

You can purchase one for $69 at potterybarnkids.com.

Are you a big fan of healthy organic living and want the world to know?  Then this costume from Pottery Barn Kids might be just the thing for your little one this Halloween.  In fact, even if your family hasn’t gone organic, you will still enjoy this adorable banana suit.

The costume is designed with your child’s comfort in mind.  It is made from polyester felt and corduroy, so it is soft and toasty.  It features a “Certified Organic” sticker on the front.  Unfortunately, the fabrics used in the costume are not themselves organic.  Even so, the costume is simple, sweet, and carries a good message.

You can purchase one for $69 at potterybarnkids.com.  The costume is available in 2T/3T, 4-6, and 7-8 sizes.

I’ve seen similar baby bath wraps online but these Nursery Critter Bath Wraps made me chuckle.  Your baby is not going to notice that the hood is decorated with an animal theme, but it might just make you smile.

Imagine that it’s been a long day and you’ve been at home all day with baby OR you’ve been at work at the office all day and this is the only one-on-one time all evening that you have with your child?  It’s very easy to get caught up in “getting things done” and we can miss important moments that also need to happen. So you put on one of these silly bath wraps on your baby and it just makes you smile and stop for a moment to enjoy what all your hard work makes possible - a loving and caring environment for your little ones.

Each wrap is woven of thick cotton terry and measure 31″x23″. Imported, personalization is available (add $6.50).

A lot of my own memories as a child include scenes from the circus (who can forget little Dumbo?).  I think children are just naturally drawn to the sights and sounds of a three-ring circus and of course, all of the circus animals.

These playful circus prints decorate each side of the stacking block and are designed to stimulate your baby’s hand-eye coordination. What I also noticed about these fun circus scenes is that they can lead to all kinds of fun discussions about animals, gymnastics (lady on the wire!), weather (what kind of weather do penguins live in?), colors, and of course, the Circus!

There are a lot of reasons to like these U Chairs. First of all, they’re made with recyclable foam that contains 25% soy based materials and the cotton covers are removable for washing. Secondly they’re brightly colored and come in a variety to choose from:  Rose Bloom, Red, Russet Orange, Meadow Green, Horizon Blue, and Peacoat Navy. And the best reason to choose these U Chairs for your child’s room is their shape.

Our children never like to leave anything the way they find it! A craft table in their bedroom becomes a tent or a fort. The toybox becomes their sailing vessel and the closet is a mysterious cave! With these durable eco friendly chairs they can build and rebuild as far as their imagination can take them.

I’ll bet they’d make for comfortable seating too.  Whenever it was time for our family to gather around our favorite TV show (Are You Afraid of the Dark) everyone would grab a pillow off of the sofa. Now your kiddies can grab their favorite U Chair and settle in for a fun family time together.

Dimensions: 28 x 14 x 14″h.

Price: $29.00 each at potterybarnkids.com.
