These quiet handmade soft books from Cutiful Baby and artist Vanessa Giguere are a perfect example of what I am talking about.
Vanessa, a fashion industry gal, started making fabric toys for her daughter while on maternity leave and soon found herself taking orders from friends and family, and we can see why. For a household dabbling in vegetarian living, I especially adore these handmade fruit and veggie designs.
Hand cut and stitched eggplants, squash, snow peas and radishes are a nice change from the usual neon colored apples/bananas/grapes often delivered by baby toy makers. Plus the variety of fabrics and stitching will stimulate baby's senses, so it's a win-win with a dose of beta carotene. - Stephanie M
