Deuz: Mini Maracas

I first spotted French brand Deuz at this year's February edition of children's trade fair Playtime Paris.
 
I was really impressed with it's collection of design-led products for babies and children, particularly Mini Maracas - a set of 3 coloured wood rattles. Each rattle has a different sound and is hand made using natural wood, lacquered with vegetable dyes. Definitely one to watch.

Bobo Choses

Geometric shaped patterns dominate Spanish children's wear brand Bobo Chose's new collection. This cotton twill square dress is one of my favourites with its heavily embroidered triangle motif and hem line.
