The Rice Babies
I just saw the cutest little handmade dolls today at Etsy. They are made from cloth and felt applique by art teacher, Kellie Diguangco and are called Rice Babies. Since my girls love arts and crafts and have been making their own dolls since they were old enough to handle a needle, I knew they would love these dolls. The did!
They said the applique technique blended with embroidery and colorful fabrics reminded them of digital scrap booking which is their present laptop memory and time absorbing hobby. Anyway, back to the babies, we spent a long time looking at the whole inventory and checking out the different types of dolls available. It isn’t often that we see Asian dolls for kids much less a Filipino one or even rarer, a Filipino and Dutch mixed doll! They also loved the Where the Wild Things Are crown. Where the Wild Things Are is one of our favorite books and they even visited the Where the Wild Things Are playground in San Francisco.
Luckily, the Asian Mommy is giving away one of these beautiful dolls at her blog. If you would like a chance to win one of these beautiful dolls, go on over there and enter. However, if you’d like to simply buy one, make sure you visit the Rice Babies on Etsy. The artist can also custom make one for you to look like your child or whomever you choose.
Plaja Pets
I got these lovable Plaja pets for my girls and they just adore them. No matter how high tech toys have become, there is always a special place for something soft and cuddly in the hearts of kids and the young at heart. It was certainly true when these cuties were pulled out of the box and the squeals and oohs properly ensued. It wasn’t until a few minutes later that we discovered that you can mix them up to create a totally new set of even more squeal worthy creatures. If teenagers can have so much fun the little ones they are destined for will react!
These Plaja pets are available in two sizes, 4″ and 8″, from Small World Toys whose aim is to deliver creative and thought provoking toys to all children at affordable prices. The old kids on your list will still probably want something high tech like a used cisco server or router, but how boring is that! Something plushy and huggable is so much more fun.
