Seriously lovable dolls

In looking for a doll for my daughter to play with in the bath, I ran into the usual issue of those icky ingredients that most doll manufacturers use in their plastics these days. In my search I did come across one that was truly lovable to me and to my daughter. It's made by Kathe Kruse, a German manufacturer and it's PVC, Phlatate and PVC free. They make dolls for the bath, dolls for dress-up and dolls for just dragging around.
I also love that they make boy dolls since little boys have the right to have a mini-me too.
They're a bit pricey, but worth it to avoid the ick. I ordered mine from Debra's Dolls in NJ. www.debrasdolls.com

Safe suds

As I just flipped through a baby's first objects book with my daughter, we arrived to the tugboat, which she pointed at inquisitively wanting to hear what it was. I said "Bote" in spanish and thought to myself, we need a "bote" in her bathtub. Then I thought the dreaded thought that I always think...where am I going to find one that isn't toxic. I just went onto Uncommon Goods website to search for something unrelated and came across this little beauty. BPA, PVC and Phtalate-free and made from recycled plastic milk jugs.

ABCs with no BPA

I just started using these bath-time, foam letters and my daughter loves them. I might be giving her too much credit for a 9-month-old, but yesterday she pointed to the letter M when we asked her which letter was for Mama, then pointed to P for papa. I never would've guessed a Sassy foam product like this to be BPA, PVC & Phthalate free, but it is. A-W-E-S-O-M-E.

Folding tub that isn't toxic

I just bought one of these Flexi Bath tubs for my daughter today. It only comes in pink, blue and white in the U.S. right now, but the colors are great, with different shades of the same color going down the seams. Looks cool, is space-saving and is PVC-free and is supposed to accommodate up to a 4- year-old. She had a great time in it, along with her PVC-free Boon duck, Jane.
