ishop 2.0


Internet shopping for kids.  It makes sense.  Going to the shops with the pram, the nappy bag, the food, the spare clothes, the dummies, the blankets and oh yes the kidlet is not always an easy or calming exercise.

Internet shopping for kids is quick, can be cheap and as kids are basically kid sized, chances are what you buy will fit.  And you can always err on the big side, because you know they're only getting bigger.

So, today Shop 4 Kids tells me where to blow my cash online.

First off is kidstylefile, a veritable imall of kid's stuff, which links to many many many other shops.   It appears the 80s are in for kids as well, if the batwing jumpers at Little Pinwheel are any indication:

Perhaps we'll pass on that one.  This however, from sendatoy is beyond cool.  The Rolobox Wheel Kit for cardboard boxes!


Easy attach plastic wheels to turn any box into a vehicle.  You can just attach and make (let's face it, a fairly unimaginative one as above) or if you go all out:



Very neat.

Toby is not walking yet, so no shoes for him most of the time.   When he does start going though, I'm going to be fighting the urge to head over to Little Moo Shoes.  

I'm also quite taken by Baby Goes Retro, but I'm not sure Tony will agree that Toby needs a $40 Danish animal onesie.  (But it's so cute!).

The final stop in our whirlwind ishopping tour (I need icoffee and an isitdown...) steers away from clothes and to something I am very much in favour of:  music for kids!  Rhythmic Kids has a great selection of instruments for little chubby fingers.

While this percussion set is the perfect gift to get back at other parents for something (and, ideally if you live far far away),  my heart is set on the baby trumpet.
