Just Stuff We Love

From baby toys and cool threads to store openings and things to do with your little one. We cover the new, the old favourites and the best-kept secrets for everything baby.


Bye-bye boo boo

Our boys at Just the Facts, Baby started walking a few months ago and skinned knees are a common occurrence–which is why we've already worked our way through a tin or two of Dimpleskins' Boo Boo Goo. This soothing balm is also great for bug bites and eczema and is handmade from 100-percent natural ingredients, including pure beeswax, organic jojoba oil and tea tree oil. Dimpleskins' diaper salve (aka "Bum Bum Balm") is another of our favorites and recently won the PTPA award. For more info, check out dimpleskinsnaturals.com. And, if you decide to order a tin for your baby or toddler, you'll be glad to know it's made out of recycled steel and will be shipped to you from Dimpleskins' B.C. headquarters in a recycled box complete with unbleached tissue.

 

Teach your toddler

We all know our kids are smart (possibly prodigies, but we don't like to brag), so what better way to ensure they get a head start in school than by helping them learn more at home? If you've been diligent about reading to your infant but are wondering what else you can do, Teach My Toddler might be the answer. Packaged in a handy tote, this all-in-one learning kit contains 17 coordinated, interactive teaching tools (from puzzles to board books) designed to help children 18 months and older have fun while mastering their alphabet, numbers, shapes and colors. JTFB cofounder Sydney Loney tried it with her son, who caught on quickly (smart kid) and whose favorite part is matching puzzle pieces to the kit's colorful posters.

Keep your baby cozy in an eco-friendly bamboo blanket

At Just the Facts, Baby we love things that are soft, stylish and good for the environment–and Baby Boomba's eco blankies fit the bill. Made with sustainable bamboo fibers, these individually hand-crafted baby blankets are breathable and hypoallergenic–making them safe for sensitive or allergy-prone skin. Each blanket is one-of-a-kind and reversible, with a standard knit face and a terry-type one–perfect for the occasional wipe up. Other great products available at Baby Boomba include: organic onesies, slings, mei tais and nursing covers. "We are constantly sourcing green fibers and textiles to offer our customers an end product that they can feel good about using," says founder Marina Duque, a mompreneur based in Ajax, Ontario.

Adorable organic T-shirts for babies and toddlers

It just doesn't get any cuter–or greener–than this. From eco-sayings like "I'm organic" to the "giraffe hugging a tree" print (it's so cute, you have to see it for yourself at ecoike.com), these T-shirts are made with soft, organic cotton and water-based inks. (Sizes range from 6 months to 3T.) Eco Ike was launched by Faith Moser after the birth of her son Ike in 2007. "I've always been ‘green,' but after Ike was born it became magnified," says the Pittsburgh-based mompreneur. "Our tags are printed on biodegradable paper and the ribbons that attach the tags are biodegradable too. I'm proud of the fact I can say, ‘this is as green as I can possibly make it.'" It's true–even the receipts are printed on recycled paper and the shirts are shipped in recycled mailers. To top it off, 5% of the company's proceeds go to environmental non-profit organizations.

New baby shoes from Robeez

Little shoes are possibly the cutest thing going when it comes to infant accessories–and Robeez has introduced two new styles to keep your baby's feet comfortably and stylishly shod, both indoors and out. The latest is the Weekend Collection (pictured left), perfect for kids who just want to kick back. The leather shoes feature a redesigned soft suede sole, easy pull-on tab and elasticized trim. (Sizes range from 0-6 to 18-24 months.) If your child is ready to explore the outdoors, Robeez new Tredz collection features flexible, non-slip, water-resistant soles and adjustable fasteners to help keep them on busy feet. Both our boys at Just the Facts, Baby have taken the Tredz for a test-drive and loved them–they make going to the park a lot more fun for everyone! (Sizes range from 12-16 months to 20-24 months.) Both styles are approved by the American Podiatric Medical Association. Robeez.com
