AffenZahn animal-shaped backpacks, too cute to resist!

Carlotta Cerri

1 ottobre 2016

A few weeks ago, we took a beautiful trip to Berlin and of course I came home with lots of ideas and inspiration for the blog, products, places, activities… Today I’d like to show you a cute little product we found in one of the shops in Prenzlauerberg: the AffenZahn backpacks.

Affenzahn is a brand by Fond of Bags and its products are gorgeous, animal-shaped backpacks for kids and toddlers: lions, tigers, dolphins, sheep, pandas, elephants… you name it! And they all have names! For Oliver we picked Alexander, a cute dog from the Small Friends collection.

Oh right, did I mention that the backpacks come into two different sizes? There are the Small Friends, suitable for kids 1-3 years old, very light and big enough to carry a couple nappy changes, a water bottle and a snack; and there are the Large Friends, suitable for kids 3-5 years old, about double the size.

We loooove the details that make Alexander special: you can pull out the tongue to reveal a label with the name of the owner; you can adjust the height of the chest-strap which makes the carrying very comfortable; the inside is waterproof and has a practical pocket; it has two small outside pockets on the front and a practical handle for parents to carry it when the little ones are tired. I won’t say more, you’ll have to find all the other little details yourself!

PS. This is not a sponsored post, the backpack was a gift to Oliver from nonno Geppi e nonna Maria and I simply fell in love with it. I think you will, too!

Choopie CityStroll2 and CityBucket review (and a surprise for you!)

A few weeks ago, I saw my friend Brittney take out of her stroller organiser a small black bag that she carried with her as a handbag. I was intrigued, and found out it’s a 2-in-1 stroller organiser by a company called Choopie (such a cute name!)!Of course, I contacted Choopie right away and they were kind enough to send me two of their products to review. I was a bit worried because I have a Stokke Xplory and its special handle design doesn’t work with every product: I’m happy to report that...

Montessori inspired toys: Plantoys sorting board

Last week I started the series of Montessori inspired toys and after a reader’s comment, Amelie, I’d like to make something clear. The toys I write about are not Montessori materials like they ones they used in school: those are very specific educational materials, these are simple toys that I, personally, think can be described as “Montessori inspired”.In fact, they are all wooden (or natural materials, that the Montessori method prefers), they don’t have lights or sounds (in a Montessori cl...

Berlin with toddlers

First of all, this was the first trip where I realized that traveling with small children is not as easy as Oliver had made us believe until now: of course, at 17 months he wants to walk, explore and go only where he decides to (playgrounds, following dogs, touching fountains…). Our traveling style—sightseeing the whole city on foot from morning to evening and see everything there is to see—well, it’ll come back, but for now it’s long lost.Luckily for us, Berlin was a revelation. Not so much ...

Why we chose a Montessori school (and so early)

I’ve been telling you for a while about Oliver starting a Montessori school in October. We’ve raised him Montessori since he was born, I’ve been studying the methods, the gorgeous philosophy, the materials. I’ve made up my mind about which of those methods I want to/can apply at home and which I don’t. About where I draw the limit between being Montessori at all costs and being practical (don’t get me wrong, one doesn’t always exclude the other).Sending Oliver to a Montessori school was an ea...
