An Elmo shirt even I can love
Given my general loathe for licensed character clothing, it's only fitting that my two-year-old has decided she will only wear clothes with Elmo on them.

Makes perfect sense considering she has never actually watched Sesame Street. Ah, toddlers.

But since finding this cool version, I'm feeling a little better about her insistence on sporting the furry red monster's face every single day.


The adorable organic cotton Elmo shirt at What Every Baby Needs (and Cookie Monster too!) made by Kiwi Industries feature his bright face along with his name in English, Greek, and Japanese for a cool multiculturalal ode. Either that, a sly reference to the fact that yes, it really is Elmo's World. All of it.

While these are way pricier than the typical licensed character fare, I can justify it when it's organic and made right here in the USA. Also included in the price: no morning clothes battles. Hallelujah. -Kristen

Purchase the organic Elmo shirts (or onesies) at What Every Baby Needs, and get 20% off your order with "elmo20" through 11/20 (sale items excluded).
