Wonder Threads

There's nothing more fitting for the spring season than a nature inspired handmade tee from the lil wear lil threads collection of Wonder Threads highlighting some of the things our little ones will spy as they walk, stroll and run through the park and their backyard.

Wearing hand stitched lady bugs on blades of grass will delight your little grass grazers as much as being able to hold them gently in the palm of their hands. Parents of avid nature explorers will love that the design carries on to the back of the short sleeved tee. And it'll be hard to find a toddler or parent not interested in giving a hoot about the cute little brown poly fleece owl with appliqué beak and feet that could roost on their shirt once they have taken the lady bug for a wash.

Modern Dose

While even the hippest toddler is still a few years away from rockin' out to Dan Zanes or The Dirty Sock Funtime Band from the ear buds of their very own iPod; it doesn't mean the tiny tune lovers wouldn't appreciate an iPod in their pocket designed tee courtesy of Modern Dose. It's guaranteed to garner a second glance from even the most avant-garde passerby.

Il Cocco di Mamma

To the benefit of our little ones, some of us are lucky enough to be able to speak another language in our home. Whether it's because we grew up with our Nonna greeting us everyday after school or we remember all that was taught in high school language lab; knowing we won't have to carry Berlitz with us when we order tapas in Spain makes us realize it's never too early to share even the smallest amount of a Germanic or romance language with our kids.

From the moment they wake in the morning, our children take in a little bit more of the world around us. Knowing that has resulted in a new t shirt line aptly called Il Cocco di Mamma which strives to give our little ones a bit more culture by way of their every day apparel. Why? Because passing linguistic knowledge on could result in your child's ticket to international fame or maybe just a few expressive moments at their next play date.

Before you know it, they will have the ability to say much more than Bonjour and Que Pasa, but a good way to start them off at being a cultured cutie is to encourage the embrace of foreign language even if it begins with what's in their closet.
