My Mommy’s Tote: Baby’s Got a Brand New Bag
Doesn't every little child like to look through mom's bag? Of course, there's the important business papers that need crumpling, the cell phone that needs breaking, and the lipstick that needs smearing.
My Mommy's Tote from Workman allow kiddo the fun of purse exploration with less mess.
Part book, part toy, you can cuddle up and read together about mom's adventures or allow your kid to push, pull, and spin the over 75 different objects independently.
This mom is everymom. She tries hard to be a great mom, wife, and businesswoman, balancing busy schedules, to-do lists a mile long, and keeping life fun for herself and her family. She's got a passport, leopard print pumps (which she presumably does not wear on those long walks with her kids), and at least a thousand cookie recipes--now if only she could solve the mystery of the missing red sock. The references to "perfect mom" are tongue-in-cheek, but clearly her family thinks she is the motherhood ideal.
My baby really likes pulling out the laptop and pretending to type and carrying the bag around looking oh-so-important. I do wish that the child who narrates the contents of the tote liked art museums--but I'm sure she'll come around. And, most importantly, the tote actually keeps my baby occupied and interacting with a book on her own.
You probably won't be able to keep your little private investigator completely out of your things, but my toddler loves rifling through My Mommy's Tote.

This would make a great quiet book for church! It is terrible when my son is dragging out my wallet, cell phone, papers and throwing them all over the bench. I like that it even has pretend credit cards for him to “swipe”

I love how My Mommy’s Tote has over 30 activities. Sounds like it would really keep my one year old busy (but only for a moment!). This is so cool!

nanja comments:
Wow this will really keep little ones busy with enough different activities Seeing that most toddlers have short attention spans 30 different activities should keep them interested in play and exploring for quite a while

gabbygatorsmom comments:
wow! this is the best invention!
has she met my kid???
my baby girl is so fascinated by purses. She contantly digs in mine, any time she can sneak the opportunity. One hectic day in a checkout line, I was trying to pay for something, she is going wild, coupons and maxi pads flying EVERYWHERE, she pulls something out, and WHOOSH, tosses it in the air, grab..toss..repeat! I quickly try to pick up things, which makes her grab things out more franticly, the whole fiasco so embarrassing, but I can’t keep from laughing at her! It drives me crazy! she LOVES it!
Please enter me, I can’t imagine a MORE PERFECT GIFT for my little princess! I think she’d have so much fun discovering everything inside this wonderful book! I followed the link above, and discovered there are also My Granny’s Purse, and My Grandpa’s Briefcase Versions available! We need a “My Grandpa’s shirt pocket” and “my daddy’s remote” too!
Merry Christmas!

I love the entire idea that you give the kid a decoy purse to explore, while keeping your actual purse safe. That’s genius.
Little kids are so curious.
My kid would be happily entertained for hours just playing with the faux electronics.
Thank you for this super cool contest.
Happy holidays.
