MyMimi ABC Animal Magnets Now we know that you're smarter than you look - you babies with your drooling and your babbling and your drunken stagger of a walk. It's a very convincing front that you most certainly should use to your advantage. Next time the adults leave the room, use these ABC magnets to leave them a message on the refrigerator door. When they return to the kitchen and yelp with surprise, just point at the dog and continue babbling.

The Chick Chair is made of baltic birch plywood, which is strong, lightweight, and stable. Low emission glues keep off gassing to a bare minimum as compared to MDF, particleboard, or other engineered materials. Water based interior wall paints are used for all colors options and finished in traditional shellac, which creates a natural, durable, water-proof finish that can be wiped clean easily. Shellac is a time-tested wood finishing material that is made from the cocoons of a small beetle dissolved in alcohol. This makes it safe enough for Junior to put in his mouth and chew on if he likes. You should also know that all of the chairs edges have been rounded for safety.

Nilla Samies Soapsicles Much to our mothers consternation, we discovered early on that if you smile with a big bite of an ice cream sandwich in your mouth it looks like your teeth are either rotting out of your head or are covered in mud! Disgusting and delicious. A word to the adults: Debbie Chialtas is the mastermind behind Soapylove's clever line of 'soapsicles', mild handmade glycerin soaps with delicious scents and a foamy lather. Nilla Sammies Soapsicles are designed to look ice cream sandwiches, vanilla ice cream between two chocolate cookies with a comical bite out of one corner. These Soapsicles are not only beautiful, they're deliciously scented like vanilla and chocolate. We love the idea of tying a simple tag with the name of each birthday party reveler, and using them as place cards at the table. Use your imagination and feel the love! Read the MDG blog profile of Debbie Chialtas and learn more about the artist who created this item. $6.00

Cupcake Handbag, Strawberry Frosting Attempting to hide 'undesirable' food at the dinner table was a fine art form when we were kids. You could always hide a few beans under the mashed potatoes or wrap a couple carrots in your napkin for disposal, but the cook usually busted us. Now had we been able to disguise our veggies in a lovely little cupcake handbag we might have made it out of the kitchen door. (Please note that the management does not recommend this item for food storage!) A word to the adults: From the delicious imagination of Amy Gaines at Purl, were serving up sugary sweet cupcake handbags. Created from Amys original design, each bag is individually hand crocheted with a chocolate base and strawberry frosting. Untie the drawstring handles and theres plenty of room for your little one to store all manner of good stuff. Each drawstring is capped with a lovely bead and as such we recommend this item for ages 3 and up. Wash on gentle and low tumble dry.
