bathtime essentials
Baby Silk’s Spaaah Baby has us saying aaah. Developed by Pediatricians, Baby Silk offers a complete line of baby skin care that is gentle, pure and effective.

Baby Silk is just what the doctor ordered!


Bambini Carini’s Bath Sacks have bathtime style in the bag. Of course these terry velour bath sacks offer more than sophisticated style. Turned cuffs help little hands stay warm, terry velour dries baby quickly, and a zip front keeps your little one from wiggling free while you attend to big sister or brother.

sassy diaper clutch
The Stella is simply stellar.

playtime essentials
School Zone has a terrific line of interactive and exploratory games for baby that will keep him/her entertained for hours. We especially love the Happy Faces Cards. You and your baby will love to place the character cards over the magnetic mirror or the magnetic "happy face" card. . Exploring faces is an important early activity, which promotes brain development while building social skills. These cards also encourage cognitive development, imagination and memory, responsiveness, spatial orientation, and visual perception. Not only for babies, School Zone has something for nearly every age range including preschool, kindergarten, first grade and up. Be sure to check out their bargain bin for great discounts.
