Product Line
Sunny Side Up Playmat
Give infants tummy time on this playful mat that looks like a giant fried egg. The yoke is slightly raised and padded, so the child can comfortably rest his or her head. The egg white has cellophane inside that crackles like an egg frying in a pan, an engaging sound for a baby. Handmade in Brooklyn, New York.
Button Stool
An oversized button makes for a children’s stool in this playful and interactive design. The stool features four buttonholes and includes a Velcro® strap that invites the child to complete the design through lacing to enhance and strengthen motor skills. With legs angled outward for added stability, the stool is lightweight and can easily be carried from room to room. The Button Stool is designed by Floor 4 Projects, a design studio that believes objects for children should be fun and engaging while stimulating a child’s curiosity.
Animal Eye Chart
A charming twist on the classic eye chart, this poster features rows of adorable animal illustrations. Ideal for a child’s room or nursery, the simple, bold lines of the animals were chosen by the designer because newborn babies with developing eyesight respond best to high contrast shapes. Hand-printed on heavyweight paper with water-based ink in Brooklyn, New York.

Freckles (Tattly temporary tattoo)
Freckles is a shy little hare. She is a bit bashful and may not say much, but she has a heart of gold. It's a bit unclear whether those adorable little dots are in fact freckles or whiskers, but we're going to go with the former.
