The Grateful Thread :: for the rocker in your child

My daughter, she loves music. She pulls out her box of musical instruments and shakers on a daily basis. She loves to dance and I always catch her absentmindedly tapping her foot or hand to any beat that she hears, it's so funny. She'd recently developed a great love for the guitar. I catch her playing air guitar, using her clothing and even the strands of her hair for guitar strings! Looking to encourage her love for music (and guitar love) I came across this awesome site called The Grateful Thread, where I met the guitar softies.

Guitar softies are available in three varieties. "The Rebel", "The Classic", and "The Rocker". Each approximately 65 x 23 cm and are made from high quality woven hounstooth fabric and felt with embroidered details. Each toy is compliant with European and American safety standards. Each comes with a really cool designer cardboard box which your child can sticker, color, or enjoy the way it is. My cat really enjoys this box too, hehe.

My daughter was so thrilled when she received her guitar softie. She immediately took it from the package and began playing her guitar and giving me instructions on how to play too. "Not that way...THIS way" she says as she shows me her way.

We also received a guitar baby rattle (so cute!) and I think she may almost like that even more because of the little jingling bell in it. These are great for the future baby rockers in the family, forget not so cute character themed rattles, here's a hip and adorable alternative! These are available in 3 shapes and to avoid waste these are made from fabric remnants. Most are made using organic and/or natural fabrics.

Not only does my daughter love to "play" this guitar but it makes for a great bed or floor pillow, would make sweet decor by hanging on the wall or displaying in her room and sooner or later she's bound to use it for pillow fights. Mommy perks, it is a great photo prop. ;)

Check out some of their other really cool products like "Monsters of Rock" soft toys, recycled vinyl wall clocks, LP inspired couch cushions, and recycled vinyl jewelry and purchase your own guitar softie by visiting The Grateful Thread HERE.
