On the eighth day of Christmas my parents gave to me:
Eight Milkos Bovines
Seven Swans a-Swaddling
Six Geese Blocks a-Playing
Five Colored Rings
Four Song Bird Beanies
Three German Chicks
Two Wooden Turtles
And an Under the Nile Pear Toy.
The perfect gift for newborns or older babies is the Deglingos Baby Milkos the Cow. Made of soft fabrics with different textures, Milkos will likely become one of your baby's comforting lovies. From its curly tail to pink udders, there is much that will rivot your baby's attention. Milkos would look adorbable peaking out of baby's first Christmas stocking.

There are "sew" many things to like about this adorable organic baby blanket. I want one for myself! This eco-friendly baby gift, is made from bamboo, a sustainable resource. Bamboo baby products have become all the rage, and it is no wonder why. Check out these amazing bamboo properties:
- Designed for durability.
- Boasts natural antibacterial properties.
- Performs as a hypo-allergenic fabric.
- Provides ventilation.
- Wicks away moisture.
- Feels soft and comforting, somewhat like silk.
This clever mother-daughter team chose the swan appliqué to represent the beneficial characteristics of bamboo. They note, "Swans' feathers do not get wet, even as they swim in the water. Just as swans' feathers keep them dry, the moisture-wicking characteristics of bamboo will keep your baby dry. Our organic bamboo blanket will keep your little one warm and cozy when it's cold, dry and cool when it's hot."
This swan blanket will be the perfect one for snuggling, swaddling, and snoozing. It's an adorable, practical gift that benefits your baby and the environment. What blanket could be better?

Uncle Goose Blocks, made by Lindenwood Inc., are the crème de la crème of children's blocks. I love simple toys that harness a child's imagination. However, what Lindenwood has done is taken a simple toy and designed them into a stunningly beautiful plaything.
It's features include:
- Basswood construction and printed with non-toxic ink.
- Beveled edges to remove sharp corners and intricate embossing to give depth and detail.
- Available in many languages including Danish, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Russian, Spanish, and Swedish, as well as Braille and Sign-Language.
- Classic blocks feature upper-case letters, numerals 0-9 with word name, and 27 labeled animals.
- Specialty blocks are also available in many styles. Some are Egyptian hieroglyphs, nursery rhymes, Christmas blocks, lower-case, and numbers.
These truly are phenomenal children's blocks. Blocks are great toy for building fine motor skills. Certainly these Uncle Goose Blocks are worth holding on to and passing down through the generations. Uncle Goose blocks are a simple, classic toy coupled with elegant design.

 Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Rock-a-Stack
http://www.fisher-price.com |
How could I not use the classic Fisher-Price stacking rings toy for the Fifth Day of Christmas? Positively perfect.
On the fifth day of Christmas my parents gave to me:
Five Colored Rings
Four Song Bird Beanies
Three German Chicks
Two Wooden Turtles
And an Under the Nile Pear Toy.
The Brilliant Basics Rock-a-Stack Toy from Fisher-Price has been around since I was a baby. To use the word "classic" to describe it is the epitome of an understatement.
It's no wonder why the five colored rings have been popular for decades. They capture the attention of the baby beginning to develop his grasping skills and are wonderfully developmentally appropriate. You just cannot go wrong with the eternally popular baby toy.
Wondering what's going to come tomorrow in parody of the "six geese a-laying?" You'll just have to check back and read for yourself. While your surfing around, check out what the other About Guides are blogging about on their respective The Twelve Days of Christmas.
