Handmade Kids: Top 10 List from Cookie Magazine

Joanna Goddard writes for Cookie Magazine — a parenting magazine and website for the fresh family lifestyle — and has a great eye. It must be a tough gig working for Cookie and looking at cute photos and products all day!  We asked Joanna to do a Top 10 Lists for families on the go. Below you'll find her picks...

When I started blogging for Cookie last year, I knew I wanted kids, but it all seemed far off. Now that I've spent twelve months immersed in handmade kids' toys, artwork, booties and oh-so-cute knit hats, I'm ready to go.

I daydream about being a Manhattan mom, taking my baby swinging at the playground, choosing stinky cheeses at Murray's, and people-watching on the bus. After combing through Etsy wares, here's a daydreamy list of what I'd recommend for moms on-the-go.


1. Cabbage Rose Cap by damestarbaby, $45.


2. Wooden Toy Phone by woodmouse, $15.


3. Gears and Sprockets Toddler Dress by aprilscott, $34.


4. A vintage dress for mom from leolucaescobar, $40.


5. Crayon Roll by sweetdarlinranch, $16.


5. Hammer Rattle by fede, $14.


6. Mr. Ronny by smosch, $49.


7. Dinosaur Shadow Puppet by owlyshadowpuppets, $10.50


8. Kids Vintage Roller Skates from whiteelephantvintage, $35.


9. Dinosaur Pillow Cover by feedthedog, $90.


10. Polar Bear Shirt by kachingdesign, $25.
