We’ve been carrying these muslin swaddle blankets from aden + anais for some time now, we love them and people swear by them. These 100% natural cotton muslin swaddles are a must have because of their breathability, generous size. Traditionally used for swaddling, muslin wraps are super versatile and can also be used as burp cloths, nursing and stroller covers, portable crib sheets, stroller and car seat liners, tummy time blankets, change table covers, and more. And, the more you wash these swaddles, the softer they get.  aden + anais swaddles are known for their unique, contemporary designs.  The Super Star (http://shop NULL.dandelionkids NULL.ca/aden01 NULL.html) print is our fave. These blankets make wonderful gifts as a set or split them up and give them with a cute outfit!

Pack of four 100% cotton muslin swaddling wraps.

Size: 120cm x 120cm
Related info: The fabric’s light, open weave allows a baby’s body temperature to regulate itself naturally which helps prevent overheating. It is gentle on baby’s skin and durable for everyday use.

Friday, August 6th, 2010

Now that summer is full swing, so are all the fall arrivals. Appaman has just arrived and we’re so excited. It’s a throwback to the 80′s. The Gym Sweats (http://shop NULL.dandelionkids NULL.ca/f1gs NULL.html) remind us of Rocky, the Vest (http://shop NULL.dandelionkids NULL.ca/f1ve NULL.html) – we swear the cool boys were wearing in high school, and the BMX shirt (http://shop NULL.dandelionkids NULL.ca/f1at3 NULL.html) is well… just cool.

We’ll keep you up to date with all the new Fall arrivals at Dandelion Kids…

National Geographic Redwoods video

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

National Geographic Redwoods Oct09 cover (small)I have to admit that I’m a full-blown National Geographic (http://www NULL.nationalgeographic NULL.com/) nut. I was flipping through some magazines the other day and came across the October 2009 issue. The cover story is about the Redwoods of Northern California “The Tallest Trees (http://ngm NULL.nationalgeographic NULL.com/2009/10/redwoods/bourne-text)“, and the cover is absolutely brilliant (click the thumbnail to see it larger). I have to admit I think it’s pretty brave for a magazine to almost completely cover the magazine’s logo, and they put the redwood tree front and centre on this issue.

This cover story had me captivated, and I visited the National Geographic website right away, and came across the above video with some behind-the-scenes footage and info of how they shot the photo of this huge tree. Pretty incredible! You can see the full photo of tree here (on the right, click to see it huge – check out how small the men are in the red jackets), and see how they stitched all the dozens of photos together to make the beautiful fold out poster that comes with the issue.
