Bye-bye Bottle: Breastfeeding Baby Dolls are Here

Ni satu lagi toys yang agak advance. Bebe Gloton is a infant doll made by Berjuan, a toy maker in Spain, for the express purpose of promoting breastfeeding. The idea is to impress upon kids that breastfeeding is natural.

Your child wears a colorful bra-like halter-top featuring flowers over the nipple area. When the doll is lifted to the flowers, it makes a suckling motion and sound. When your child’s flower nipples grow sore and cracked, either the baby cries for more, or beckons to be burped.

Here is a Spanish video report and a second video report that provide a sense of how the doll functions. The second is better, but is tucked behind a 30 second commercial.

This gluttonous baby is 50 cm (19.6 inches) long, the average length of a real newborn and is available in either gender. The dolls retail for about 44 Euro.

My Wondercube: the tissue box baby toy

Lately ni aku suka sangat tengok toys yang U.K or U.S keluarkan sebab unik. Contohnya macam toys kat atas tu. Ni antara explanation pasal toys tu:

My Wondercube replicates the fun babies and toddlers have pulling tissues from a box and stuffing them back in. At first I thought, oh how dumb. But no, it’s not as if you’re going to give your baby a real tissue box. Wonderube is so simple, so brilliant.

The toy consists of a fabric cube with fabric swatches stuffed inside. The cubes comes in three styles — organic cotton jersey, fairtrade organic woven cotton and a wooden cube. The fabric cubes are machine washable and rated from birth on up. The wooden cube is rated for 2-year-olds (which isn’t so strange, see below).

Each cube style differs in artwork and the number of swatches included, 4, 5 or 6 pieces. Some swatches make crinkly noises, others offer differing textures such as silk, corduroy, velvet and denim. Best of all, the swatches can be linked together at their Velcro corners, creating a magician pulling scarves from a hat effect.

Tapi ada juga yang bagi respon yang agak kreatif. Boleh tengok kat sini:
