Cute Books For Your New Little One

Finding appropriate gifts for a new baby is something I enjoy hunting for. The typical gifts are always nice, but I also like giving something that mom and dad can start using with their newborn that can grow with them and can help the child get an early start on the love of learning.

That's why I love these cloth books from SDS Baby. They are a good size, each one measuring about 4½" x 4½" and about 1" thick. It's the perfect size for fun interaction with your baby and for ease of holding too, for both parent and baby.

The books have a total of 8 pages, each one illustrated with colorful images and with simple words about what is on the pages. The last page has a fun squeaker in it. Each book also has a cute sewn in strap that can be hooked to a diaper bag, stroller or car seat, as well as hung on to by baby.

Now I will say that some of the things in the book are different. One book is titled "like Person", which I found interesting. It's all people your little one should know about with one interesting addition. The last person in the book is a pirate. I found that unusual. I also found some of the things for the alphabet book interesting. Instead of milk for the letter m, they have milk cow. For the letter Q they have the word Queue. Not something common for little ones's books. but the pictures are still fin and colorful

What I really love is that the whole experience is very tactile for your little one. They learn by their senses the best when very little, and hearing your voice, seeing the pictures and feeling the cloth pages is a wonderful learning experience, along with the squeaking of the book too.

I also love that the books are washable. That makes it a fantastic little gift for a new mom and dad or little one in your life. It is something they can use over and over and know they can clean it easily. Love that!

These little books are a perfect gift and are something that will last through your little ones early years.

Zubels Rattle Flash Giveaway

It's football time!! And my husband is a very happy man. He loves to watch football every Sunday afternoon. It's something he really enjoys. And if he had a little one around the house still, I know that he would be more than happy for that little one to have a very special toy from Zubels in honor of football!

I've shared before with you about Zubels. They are a fantastic company that makes amazing, bright, cheerful, and safe toys for babies, toddlers, and well, all kids! They also make some lovely sweaters and the cutest hats!

Since it is football time, they sent me the neatest little football player 12" doll. He is absolutely adorable! Every bit of him is made so even small children can play with him safely, without the worry of a choking hazard. He is soft and cuddly and completely washable! He is made from 100% organic cotton, which is something I truly appreciate a lot! The football player is also available in a 7" rattle just like this little girl below.

This is the cheerleader rattle. Isn't she cute? I love her little curls and her sweet face. She too is made from 100% organic cotton and is safe for any little one to play with. And she is washable. Not too many cloth rattles are!

I absolutely love the whole line of Zubels products. They take very serious care in producing the hand knit toys, sweaters, hats, pants, and booties. Each piece truly does show the care they take in making them by the fantastic details they put into them. The variety of items they carry is wonderful too. The football player comes in several colors, so you can find one close to the team you are rooting for. The same with the cheerleader.

I love Zubels, and I'm pretty sure you will too!

You can purchase any of the sweet Zubels football players or cheerleaders in 12" dolls or 7" rattles HERE!

Do You Have A Zubel?

There are several companies that I really, really like (okay maybe more than just several). if I have a chance to tell you about one of their products I want to do it because I think so much of their products.

Zubels is one of those companies. I love what they do and I love the products!

They sent me the sweetest little rattle to try out. It's the 7" doll rattle named Bruno Barkster the Dog. Isn't he just adorable!

All of Zubels products are made with 100% cotton and they are all hand knit. Each one is soft and made with the highest attention to detail. It's amazing to see the quality of the workmanship in each and every one of the toys and other products they carry! All the tiny details that are put into them just make that that much nicer and a much higher quality product that you know will be safe for your child to play with.

They are super easy to take care of. Simply wash them by hand using a gentle detergent (no bleach) to get any dirt or stains off. Roll the toy in a toll, pressing slightly, to absorb a lot of the excess moisture, then lay flat to dry. I would lay it on a screen or drying rack so air can get to all sides as it dries.

Zubels carries so many wonderful thing from the doll rattles like Bruno to larger hand knit dolls, hats, sweaters, booties, pants and special gift sets. There is something for everyone. And the items match each other. You can buy a hat, sweater, pants and toy that all fit the same theme, colors and design. And I can absolutely say they are all adorable!!

You can purchase your own Zubels Bruno Barkster the Dog Rattle Knit Doll or any of the other amazing items they carry HERE!

Connect with Zubels on their website, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram. Plus in the lower right corner of their home page you can sign up to get their emails where they will send you sale information and coupons!

We received samples of the products for the purpose of review. All opinions expressed here are those of the author.

Zubels Organic Toys Make A Soft and Safe Gift For Your Little Ones

Zubels are Eco-Friendly 100% organic cotton hand knit characters. These super cute toys are the perfect gift for any little one in your life.  I received the Cheerleader (pink red) 12" doll. She is just adorable and the perfect gift for one of the little girls I am gifting this Christmas.

Isn't she just adorable?

All of the toys from Zubels are made of super soft 100% organic cotton and they have vibrant colors. I think it is wonderful that they don’t contain any toxic chemicals and have been tested to ensure they are 100% safe. That means the toys are good for babies and older kids as well. And Zubels has minimal packaging. By not packaging their product with excessive and needless packaging there is less waste of resources and less waste for the landfill.

Many of the toys they offer are larger dolls (12") and they have smaller ones that are rattles (7"). They also have a wonderful variety of characters to pick from, so you can find something to fit a specific theme or something that you know your child would love. It's a cheerful site to peruse through.

What I love about these toys is they are completely washable. You just hand wash them in a mild detergent, roll up in a towel to absorb excess moisture and allow to dry laying flat. You can't say that about many stuffed toys for children.

Zubels also carries so many other wonderful products, clothing, hats, booties and more. Going through their website was so much fun. I found all kinds of things I would love to give to several new moms and special kiddos in my life. They are products that are super cute and I can feel good about giving because they are safe and eco-friendly, plus the prices are amazingly good! You have to love that.

I would recommend the Zubel Eco-Friendly Toys to anyone out there looking for eco-friendly and safe toys for their baby or older child. The only problem is trying to decide which character or characters to get. There are so many and they are all adorable!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
