Cookie: Picks of the Week

Skip Hop Zoo Packs
This school year, equip your little student with one of Skip Hop's four new Zoo Packs; they're perfect for little animals! We're partial to this happy monkey, but the penguin is pretty darn cute, too. $20, Skip Hop.

Cookie

Fair Bear
This dye-free, fair-trade teddy bear is beautiful even when he's sans ensemble, but we love the concept behind his clothes. Fair Indigo offers matching kid-size organic outfits as well, so the proud owner can dress just like his best stuffed buddy. $36, Fair Indigo.

Cookie

Juice Box Charging Station
If you can't figure out how to baby-proof that unruly nest of wires and cords beneath each outlet in your home, feast your eyes on this hot little number. The Juice Box charging station uses just one outlet, conceals a power strip of your choosing, and holds four electronic devices. Plus, we adore the mitered walnut box and felted top. $103, BluDot.

Cookie

Fuz Farm Napkin Hug Rings
These touchy-feely felt napkin rings hug your linens in the cutest way. And they can double as birthday party place cards. Alternate the boy and girl forms to avoid a scene straight out of a middle-school dance. $15 for a set of four, Fuz Farm.

Cookie

Stride Rite Wallaroo
Created from lightweight, eco-friendly materials, Stride Rite's new natural leather Wallaroo shoe will have your little one light on her feet and ready for fall. $50, StrideRite.

Cookie

Citiblocs
When it comes to stimulating the imagination, there are no better instruments than pots and pans, and no better building blocks than the old-school wooden kind. If you're in search of the latter, we're sold on Citiblocs. Each piece is exactly the same shape and size (precisely cut from certified renewable Radiata Pine), which means no glue or connectors are needed to keep creations in place. Gravity plus balance equals perfect stackability. From $15, Citiblocs.

Cookie

Monnalisa Dreams Dress
We can picture it now: She's swirling and twirling, skipping and laughing, and chasing the boys barefoot in the grass. $76, Monnalisa Dreams.

Cookie

Bookhou Storage Box
This sturdy little canvas bin is just the thing to keep kids' books corralled in the living room, or to quickly turn your household clutter (keys, phone chargers, mail, oh my!) into controlled chaos. $35, Bookhou.

Cookie

SODA by Amy Sketchbook
This cloth-bound sketchbook first caught our eye as a sweet gift for a dreamy kid, but its letterpressed cover and rainbow pages might just inspire drawings and poetry from grown-ups as well. $32, SODA by Amy.

Cookie

Henry Road Laminated Pouches
Henry Road's laminated cotton storage bags come in two sizes and eight fun fabrics. They are great for makeup or toiletries, or for keeping kid stuff (binkies, sunblock, Ziplocs full of cheerios) away from mom stuff in that giant bag of yours. Plus, the lamination makes them tougher than your average pouch. $18 to $23, Henry Road.
