Some baby products are out of this world
It’s inevitable that boys and girls alike will discover the lure of outer space at some point. For me, it started with Dad watching Planet of the Apes on Sundays; then the debut of E.T. and then Star Wars; and finally the advent of video games like Space Invaders and Asteroids.
So why not share the fun with the little tykes right off the bat, in the baby nursery? Outer-space themed juvenile products are just too cute:
 |
Space Hopper Oobi Baby, $37.95 With a fun retro feel (remember these from the 70s?), kids can sit, race and bounce into outer space. |
 |
Blur Blur Dooodolls, $20 This 12” plush toy has two antennae on his head that serve as sensors for approaching threats. His hobby is sucking his thumb, and he’s a Libra. |
 |

It’s 9.5×12.5”. |
