My Baba Measure: What’s Hot This Week

Tripp Trapp® Stokke® in Sunflower Yellow

Let the sunshine in with the Tripp Trapp® chair in the new Sunflower Yellow! Sunflowers are known for being “happy” flowers, that symbolise longevity, which is especially relevant for this iconic chair. The Tripp Trapp® grows with your child, from newborn into adulthood and can be enjoyed for generations.

My Baba’s founder Leo Bamford says: “One of the first purchases I made when I was pregnant was a Tripp Trapp. Although I thought I’d pass it down from child to child, I ended up buying one for each of my three children. Now my eleven-year-old still insists on sitting in his bright red seat.”

The New Christmas Collection, Bloomsbury Mill

Bloomsbury Mill has just announced their new Christmas collection which launches today, 1st September.

Why not bring a little festive cheer to your kids’ bedrooms with Bloomsbury Mill’s bedding for kids? There are double, single and cot bed sizes available, all with matching pillowcases, so nobody misses out. What’s more, there are even Christmas-themed curtains available for the ultimate celebration!

Bloomsbury Mill’s popular Nap Mat has also had a Christmas makeover, adorned with Santa, his reindeer, and of course, the elves. The thick and plush Nap Mat is an all-in-one pillow, blanket and mat, perfect for napping on the go, or for older children who want to enjoy some quiet time.

Cub Club, WWF

‘Cub Club’ is the go-to sustainable gift for babies and young children from WWF,  to help inspire a lifetime love of nature and the environment.  A ‘first’ for the charity world, Cub Club is a new range of soft toys designed just for babies. A collection of eco-friendly cuddly toys that would make a super-cute birthday present or gift for any new arrival, Cub Club’s soft toys are made especially for 0-2 year-olds and they launch on 27th September. The Cub Club gift range builds on WWF’s hugely popular animal adoptions and cuddly toy range, and includes three species: the elephant, panda and shark.

Subscription Play Kits, Lovevery

Lovevery has launched its brand-new product range, stage-based subscription Play Kits.

Designed by child development experts, The Play Kits help parents make the most of playtime at every stage and support child brain development from infancy through toddlerhood. Each of the 14 stage-based Play Kits – serving ages 0–36 months—is packed full of expert-designed playthings and information, delivered at just the right developmental window every 2–3 months.

The Play Kits for babies (0–12 months) include toys and tools for building new neural connections and practicing fine and gross motor skills. The Play Kits for toddlers (months 13- 24) support a child’s natural curiosity by building new skills and encouraging exploration. The Play Kits for two-year-olds (25–36 months) encourage a child’s budding independence and teach early science and math lessons.

All Lovevery Play Kits also include Montessori-inspired board books with real images and stories of real people, along with a Play Guide that includes expert research, child development info, at-home activity ideas, and ways to play.  The range of Play Kits was created from years of play studies, prototype testing and consulting with leading child development experts.

The Play Kits subscriptions start at £40 per month, with flexible payment options, and no commitment. Lovevery personalises each subscription to a child’s birth date/adjusted birth date and families keep the kits for more advanced learning and play as a child grows.

Sheeping Bag, Sweet Dreamers

The highly anticipated Sheeping Bag from SweetDreamers promises to be both super soft and super snug. Featuring an all-over print of Ewan the Sheep’s friendly face, this is undoubtedly one of the cutest sleeping bags ever.

The classic white and grey print is available in sizes 0-6 and 6-18 months with 1.0 and 2.5 tog available, it’s perfect for use all year round. The sleeping bag is made from 100% cotton, with a thoughtfully designed zip opening at the bottom to ensure easy night-time changes.

Travel Bear Car Head Rest Phone Mini Tablet Holder

Practical and easy to use, the Travel Bear phone and mini tablet holder was designed by a mum-of-two to avoid the dangers posed by children holding an electronic device in their hands while travelling. An elevated, hands-free position keeps the screen at eye level, reducing the risk of travel sickness, improving posture and avoiding any pressure and discomfort from the child looking downwards.

With a simple, universal design, the phone and mini tablet holder is compatible with any vehicle and complements all car interiors. The sleeve is made from stretchy black fabric, which slides neatly over the car headrest to hold the device securely in place for the whole car journey. For added convenience, the phone and mini tablet holder also comes with a clear, fingerprint-sensitive window and dual entry headphone/charger port.

Complete with wooden brushes, makeup and a mirror – budding creatives will be able to pass the time immersing themselves in the joys of imaginative play with this fab set.

Book Of The Week

Octopus Shocktopus!, Amazon

When a giant octopus arrives, the children LOVE their new friend; he makes the perfect slide and is fantastic at football! But some of the grown-ups aren’t so pleased. Will they drive him away, or will they realise just how helpful an octopus can be?

A warm and witty rhyming story about welcoming newcomers, this is a beautiful book jam-packed with zingy fluorescent ink on the cover and inside illustrations.
