Micro Scooter Accessories

July 11, 2011 by · Leave a Comment 

Micro scooters really have taken over the world, haven’t they? I really think that almost every under-six-year-old in the country must have one, and for good reason as Kat explained in her post last year. The downside of that is that once you get to the park, there is ample opportunity for a mix-up. Even [...]

Fairtrade Fortnight: Weaving Hope

March 2, 2011 by · Leave a Comment 

As we’re in the midst of Fairtrade Fortnight, I thought I’d share one of my favourite ethical children’s companies. Sri Lanka-based Weaving Hope is a community of women producing handwoven, hand-dyed cotton toys and accessories in an array of cheerful colours.

They have a unique two-way zip so they can be opened at either the bottom or top depending on whether you want to nappy change or whip it off, and the zips [...]

I do love these little bags which come in several kitsch designs. The bambino who is a veritable copycat at almost 17 months loves mimicking me so aside from trying to wear my shoes, she now tries to use my handbag although she can barely lift it as I’m a bit of an everything but [...]
