As 2008 winds down, we're looking ahead to next year and that means picking out a calendar. We've looked around and chosen some of our favorite calendars with kid appeal. These aren't the most use...
We know that many of you love to take the DIY approach to mobiles, so a hat tip to Ohdeedoh reader JoAnne for alerting us to the new Kallt chandelier (it comes with tiny LED lights) at Ikea. Available...
We picked up an Imagination Placemat by Emily Green and it's quickly become a permanent fixture on our dining table. One side features Emily's vibrant artwork. The other side is blank - ready to tak...
File this one under "O" for obvious --- yet somehow, we just thought of it. Whenever we'd come home, our son would struggle to hang up his coat. He'd drag a chair over and climb up trying to reach t...
Katy sent in a good question: I want to get a jumperoo/johnny jumper/etc. for my baby but I'd prefer one that doesn't have a bunch of ugly crap attached AND doesn't require that it be attached to the ...
Since it's starting to get chilly, we were on Phil & Teds website looking at the Snuggle & Snooze winter stroller sack when we happened to notice that they have a slew of new products coming out soo...
We love the infinite possibilities of the Bilibo, but we have to admit to witnessing, on occasion, kids who are so overwhelmed by this endlessly fun toy that they get frustrated because they're not qu...
Is it too soon? Yesterday's cold rain wasn't our idea of fun, but cold snow -- that's definitely to our liking. This year we want to be prepared. The graceful lines and craftmanship of the KinderSl...
The Moosewood Cookbook, the classic vegetarian cookbook, has been a staple in many household kitchens for decades and we love that our children can also delight in Mollie Katzen's recipes. Here are t...

Our Kids' Color Contest may be winding down, but we're still revved up about color. These adorable personalized prints from Penny People Designs provide just the right bold pop of color along with cut...
So some of us love IKEA's Lillberg Rocker, and some of us don't. Either way you've got to admit, it cleans up very nicely. The Lillberg is no longer our nursing rocker but the wide proportions make ...
We've admired Thomas Paul plates before, and it's no wonder why. Thomas Paul plates are consistently well-designed with charming patterns and colors. We were delighted to recently find his Sealife D...
Fareesa sent us an email: I loove the modern Sweet Pea crib. I've been looking for a modern crib for the nursery that I am TRYING to make before my first baby is born. All the modern looking cribs ava...
A lot of Ohdeedoh readers tell us that their love for a crib bedding set is the starting point for their entire nursery aesthetic or color scheme. One mom, Destini, was inspired by a Serena and Lil...
There aren't many things cuter than watching a baby learn how to use a spoon. Not so cute: watching them gag and cry when they inadvertently push the spoon too far into their mouths. The folks at Baby...
We knew when we first went wild over Zara Home that it would be a long-running love affair. Here is our latest favorite find from the Spanish retailer - the Animales Rug. Oh the fun we would have na...
We're loving the great collection of glasses by Upper Playground. These delightful glasses feature designs by Dora Drimalas, Basco and Sam Flores. Brighten up a glass of milk or juice with any of t...
We spotted this painted floor in a Pottery Barn Kids catalog that arrived the other day and liked the use of the floor as a bold color statement. We might choose colors other than these primary one...

One of the many (many, many) great things about the internet in recent years is that it's really opened up our eyes to the huge number of talented independent textile designers out there, and given us...
Several months ago we wrote about decorating with kites in childrens' rooms. We purchased a fun dragonfly kite, still soaring over the closet door in the nursery. It's a great effect, but check out ...
O.K., we admit it. We love making our baked goods look like something else -- whether it's a train, beehive or bugs -- and we'd love to have Williams-Sonoma's latest pan addition: the acorn cakelet ...
It all started with Linus, Oliver and Miles' room in New Orleans...and yesterday, the final vote was cast on our last entry, Avery's nursery in Norfolk. Over the past few weeks, we've seen and enjoyed...
It's exciting when babies first begin to grab and grasp (decidedly less so when it's your hair or earrings). These simple, wood rattles are as good for holding and shaking as they are for gnawing w...
If you've ever had a hankering for the Uten.Silo wall organizer, but couldn't quite rationalize the price tag, you may find the Grid appealing. With its poster size and sturdy construction (from recyc...
We're starting early on our research for a twin bed. Buy something well-built and it will last until college. We think the Perspective twin bed from Room and Board fits the bill....
If you're looking for a lovely book to give that one artsy person who is still young at heart, perhaps one of these three beauties we found at Genius Jones might appeal to you.

Maryann is looking for some suggestions: I'm looking for a modern coffee table that would be great for kids. I have two young boys, so maybe a table that I can store their toys, but at the same time s...
Amanda Blake Soule (aka Soule Mama) has a new online endeavor, Mama to Mama, to connect the handiwork of crafty moms with the needs of women and children. The first project is sending baby caps to ...
Our biggest beef with most play utensils is that they're either made of plastic (bad for the environment) or metal (bad for our headaches). But then along came this adorable set made of organically gr...
We're in the home stretch of our Kids' Color Contest here at Ohdeedoh, and yes, we have seen some stunners. Lots of eye-popping color on the wall, in textiles and accessories. But how about this dra...

“Round and angular handles are tiring to eat with, because they roll between the fingers and irritate the palm of your hand. The flat handle, however, rests very differently and correctly on your fi...
A very Happy Birthday wish goes out to Leo and Sabrina, who just turned the big two yesterday.
