We always have one eye open for new items that are easy on the environment as well as being well-made enough that they serve as good long-term furniture investments (which retain their Craigslist cachet when it's time for them to move along). This is why we were excited to learn that EcoTots (the folks behind the extremely popular easel and play table) is about to launch an entire line of bedroom furnishings for children, starting with the Surfin Twin Bed pictured above...

We love Amenity's bedding and wondered how they could match the cuteness of their 2007 collection. We needn't have worried. These '70s-inspired ducks, frogs, and squirrels are a perfect marriage of nature designs and natural materials. We like.

We love Jan from Poppytalk, so when we found out she'd curated September's featured items at Fawn & Forest, we rushed over to see what she'd found. She didn't disappoint. These yoyos, made of sustainably harvested wood, fall into that fabulous territory where kids' toys intersect with usable art.

If you've ever been to Burning Man (which just kickstarted yesterday), you know that taking kids with you is an endeavor not for the faint of heart. Every year, however, scores of families make the trek and, by all accounts, have a heck of a time. Inspired by one of the huge teeter-totters they saw at Burning Man one year, the enterprising folks at Playatech designed and fabricated this smaller portable version for Kids' Camp, Burning Man's family-oriented adjunct.

Our criteria for a perfect baby carrier are that it be compact, attractive, ergonomically correct, and sustainably manufactured. The Belle baby carrier appears to hit every mark. We like the sleek, no-frills design, as well as the fact that it comes in several pattern and fabric options, including organic cotton and denim.
