Consider showing up with one of these.
There’s something terrifying about this little fella that will forever prevent me from following my own advice, but if you’re in the mood to try your hand at a Kangaroo rat (at least that’s what I’m told this thing is) then please let me know how it goes.
Oh, and take a photo of your kid when they first lay eyes on it

Environmentally Friendly Toys And BIkes For Your Kids

I seem to be on a vehicle kick these last few posts, and this one doesn’t break from that trend. Fueled by Inhabitots I bring you the Bamboo E-Racer and yet another pushbike, the Wishbone Pre-Bike.
The Wishbone Pre-Bike is customizable as your child grows. Initially it can be configured as a trike, moving to a pushbike for little-uns, and then you can flip the ‘wishbone’ to create a pushbike for older kids. Cool idea, especially given that the bike is made of 60% post-consumer recycled plastic wheels and sustainably managed wood. Apparently even the box and printed materials are made of ecofriendly materials.
As for the E-Racer, these toy cars are made of bamboo and water-based paint. It might be worth heading over and checking out the other products made by the same manufacturer. Head to Inhabitots as they have a link to the manufacturer in their post.
Pedal Cars Taken To The Extreme

This one’s from Autoblog and features a pedal car like none I’ve ever seen or will be likely to afford. In this case its a 3-wheeled Morgan pedal car aimed at the retro chic youth out there… most of which have never seen or will be likely to appreciate the care taken to produce this bad boy.
The details?
These trikes will be available beginning in August of next year for a suggested price of about USD $3,700 with a production run of 500… which I guess makes these rarer than most any exotic out there. I wonder how many kids will actually get to give one a spin?

I don’t know if this is awesome or should be illegal. Sandy Paws Grooming Shop Creative Grooming Awards honours the folks who do more to embarrass their pets than anyone else in America. I have to side with “should be illegal” however judging by the reactions to the two died dogs occasionally seen being walked in our neighbourhood I’ll leave it to personal taste.
I’ve posted a number of items about pushbike variants recently, but Babygadget presents this scooter pushbike twist on the standard. Have a look.
I’m a fan of urban vinyl, and stumbled across one of these wooden Be@rbricks at a shop on Burrard in Vancouver not long ago. Thanks to Inhabitots for posting some more information on the wooden Bearbrick figures which while probably not ideal toys for your children are certainly appealing gifts for you.
Everyone needs a glass eyeball. If you agree with that statement head over to Junior Society and pick your colour.
Finally we saw Iron Man the other night. Pretty entertaining movie and very cool costume. This kid in his Iron Man costume would appear to agree.

Let loose this holiday season and forget about your low fat diet for a few days. To help you along that path here are links to a couple books I’m planning to pick up (admittedly as gags) for stocking stuffers and such:
Fat: An Appreciation of a Misunderstood Ingredient, With Recipes
Bones: Recipes, History, and Lore
SharmaDesigns over at Etsy has a ton of reasonably priced, wooden jewelry suitable for adults and maybe for older kids as well. You can browse their store here
TheStranger compares a couple of interesting photographs of little girls (one unknown, one suddenly in the spotlight) on The Slog. I’ll leave you to check them out yourself as I’m sure my attempts at a description wouldn’t do the post justice.
Gizmodo.com posted information on leaked Toys ‘R’ Us Black Friday sale details. While I’m sure there won’t be nearly enough for most of us to secure them, the doorbusters promise insane deals for those willing to stand in line to save money for Jr’s gifts this year. It’s going to be a tough Holiday for most of us, but it appears that deals will be plentiful on toys and other items your kids are asking for.
Kidhaus posted about the Puj Tub for the baby on the go. It fits in a bathroom sink and flattens for easy portability… what’s even better? Head over to Kidhaus and benefit from their discount on Puj products. G’wan git!
Speaking of discounts, head over to Babygadget for the details of their 20% discount on the Short Hat Company’s winter hat collection.
Like I said, there will be sales aplenty this Holiday season!
Unique And Expensive Gifts That Will Leave You Shaking Your Head

Seriously, is there no better way to spend money than on nonsense like this? These items were all found on BornRich.com
1953 Corvette Pedal Car
Sure your kid will look cute riding up and down the sidewalk in a classic corvette pedal car… but she’d look even better graduating from college thanks to the investment of that $1,500 in order to fund her education. Still… that’s a pretty sweet pedal car.
Solar Powered Stroller
I have no idea what this is about… I mean what is being powered? I guess it could be used to power mom and dad’s cellphone or laptop or something, but I’ve seen a lot of strollers, and very few of them are lacking for not offering a power outlet.
Baby Benz SLK AMG
Surely this won’t cost as much as the Corvette pedal car above and so might be a better option for you yuppies in these trying economic times. Or you could give the kid a stick, or a box or read to them
Titanium Tricycle
At $2,500 I have nothing to say about this one.
Waterbirth Vessel Birthing Tub
Calling all future hippies… the future is now. No more Mr. Turtle pool in the living room, you can open your extra-wide french doors and install the very StarTrek-esque birthing vessel to welcome Jr. to your piles of cash.
Terrifying $3,000 Angelina Jolie Doll
Now all you need to do is win those eBay auctions for her fingernails and a lock of hair and the fun begins.

The person who came up with this is a genius. An absolute GENIUS.
I’m not even 6 and I love this. Check out the Kitty Litter Cake for yourself over at the Noble Pig.
For those of you not into eating fake kitty litter, rest assured that the Noble Pig has fantastic recipes for you too. I can’t cook worth sh*t and I’m still able to pull some of them off.
