Wall socket cabinet not a good teaching tool for toddlers

Filed under: Design, Household

wall socket cabinet

This cabinet is definitely the wrong thing to buy if you have small children. Why? Because it will teach them that by sticking their arms into sockets, they can find something hidden inside. Not the greatest thing to be teaching toddlers. Now if you don’t have small ones, this is a pretty cool type of gag furniture. The idea remains that sticking your arms in a socket gets you something, but now that you are over the “fork-in-socket” stage, you can have a good laugh at the idea of flying across a room (just forget the pain associated). The price for this humorous gift is $180. Pretty steep. –Nik Gomez

iPod Case for the kiddies

tadpole ipod case

Durable, colorful, trainable, and equipped with two handles. If you thought we were describing your mother, you can put your fists down, no need to have them flying today. Those words describe the Tadpole iPod case designed for toddlers. With a heavy duty plastic screen over the entire iPod controls, you would think that the click wheel would be left useless. The Tadpole has figured a way to allow for ultimate protection, with child-like interface options. The genius of the Tadpole is its ability to hide everything on the device except for the controls needed to operate the machine, taking the childs focus off the little things and allowing your toddler to prepare its self for the iGeneration. By the way, please don’t buy your two year old an iPod. — Andrew Dobrow
