 January 2, 2007  Color Change
You used to go for the latest neutral du jour (is navy the new black, or is black the new black?) or bold shades that make a statement (mmm, Missoni). But ever since baby came you have to admit – you're really into pastels. Soft yellow, mint green, pale pink and baby blue are quite calming, but how can you embrace your new color palette without getting too syrupy sweet? Pastel Toys makes a range of handcrafted wooden toys in soft pastel colors, hand finished in Israel by adults with special needs, at a non-profit community called Kishorit. Residents sand, polish and paint each toy by hand, making them truly one of a kind. These heirloom quality toys have an irresistible old-school charm with lasting appeal. Classic offerings include critters on wheels (horse, giraffe, elephant, dino, etc.) as well as trucks and trains full of blocks. Other timeless wooden treasures include push carts or hobby horses. Even before baby can use them, the toys add a nice decorative touch to the nursery. Don't be surprised if they're still favorites years from now. Junior might not bring his bunny on wheels to college, but it will probably hold up long enough that he could. Available online at egiggle.com; For more information, visit |
