We get tons of press releases sent to us at the Time Out Kids offices, but every once in awhile something comes across our desks that falls into the “just when we thought we’ve seen everything” category. My First Silhouette is a new company that will turn your baby’s ultrasound image (yes, you heard us right—the ultrasound image) into a piece of art to hang in your home. Now we see nothing wrong with sharing the special image with friends and family after a doctor’s visit, but this just seems absurd—especially at $50 to $450 a pop. You can see the final product here. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!
We’re always searching for new dolls for our kids, so you’d think we’d be happy about the latest addition to the toy shelves. Guess again.
May we introduce Bebe Gloton. Hailing from Spain, the name translated literally means “Baby Glutton,” but don’t worry, this isn’t a rant about obesity, eating disorders or body image. This is a rant about nipple daisies.
You’re probably puzzled now…so are we. We’re puzzled why anyone would conceive of this doll, which comes with a smock adorned with bright pink daisies that your daughter can put on and then “breastfeed” the “baby.”
Yes, daughters like to emulate their mommies in many ways, but do prepubescent girls really have the urge to play breastfeeding? If a little girl wants to pretend to be mom, she can use her imagination. What’s next? A toy that simulates pregnancy so she can get in on that fun too?
Watch the demo below and then weigh in: Would you let your little princess play “breastfeeding baby,” or dump those detachable daisies, stat?
For just $9.95 a year, you'll get listings on where to eat, what to see, events to attend and why to be so happy to live in New York with your kids!
