A great, natural lavender line of baby products.  We use their lavender baby oil and lavender mist in class during infant massage.

One of the best, natural (no parabens!) baby product line.  We use their famous “Creamy Cream” in class during infant massage.  The other baby products (shampoo, bubbly wash, hair putty and diaper rash cream) are also awesome!!

Brett was gracious enough to do a sensory class with ALL the groups and his amazing mobile zoo of reptiles.  Brett is a true baby/children’s person, and did a wonderful job with our class.  You can see photos of the babies and the reptiles on the “Special Events” page.

Jason and his wife at Fabulous Feathers were gracious enough to help us put together our tactile sensory class with an assorted array of brilliantly colored ostrich feathers and boa’s.  Not only are their feathers the best, they are pretty nice people!!  You can see photos of the babies and the feathers on the “Special Events” page.

Sleep My Baby Sleep is not only one of the best sleep CD’s for babies out there, but they have also put together a unique way to capture your baby’s life moments, but also initiate a valid and research supported sleep system for newborns.  They have come up with a CD that records your actual baby’s individual heartbeat while in utero, which then is placed on a recording to help the baby once born, stabilize their internal rhythm setting and recall a place and time of peace (in the womb).  This is truly the ultimate gift, but more so, a great way to help the baby SLEEP!   Simply ingenious!

We use their natural and organic plant oil based antiseptic spray to clean our toys!  It can be used anywhere to clean, disinfect, and freshen naturally. It is more effective than harsh synthetic commercial brands, yet 100% natural and nontoxic. Gentle enough for use on the body to quickly clean and freshen. Spray: baby's room, toys used in community play places, surfaces after feedings, restaurant tabletops, you name it!!

The "official" play group mat for OTB!  I see a lot of different baby blankets and play group mats, but I think this mom had the right idea when creating the "Buppitybaby"!  It is perfect for my classes because of it's size, the thickness, and it is easy to carry with the sewn-in attached strap.  Not only is the mat made out of the best fabrics, but they are cute, stylish, and COMFORTABLE!  Check them out!
