Moover Toys at Noeuf.com
Sponsor Highlight
Are you looking for a nice gift or just want to surprise a child you know? Do you want a huge selection and shop whenever you feel like it? You should go visit the online Baby Concept Store Noeuf. Noeuf has specialized in amazing products for Babies and Toddlers and with a selection of over 70 original, creative and cool brands, Noeuf is the place to find the perfect gift.
Amongst all of the nice brands represented at Noeuf, we are very fond of the Danish Brand Moover. Moover has created a line of quality wood toys for babies and kids including the walker, the rocking horse, the truck, the tow truck and the push pram. Each toy comes in a beautiful red or natural wood and is extremely durable and strong (the walker can hold up to 100 kg!).
Moover toys are delivered in compact easy to carry boxes and they are easy to build and take apart without tools thanks to their unique key click system. The pieces fit into one another and hold the key firmly in place. When your child is older, the pieces also serve as building blocks.
We have the Rocking Horse in our home and the kids love it! The Rocking Horse is fun and instructive and has been designed specifically for the very small children (can be used from 8 month).The design combines the classic rocking horse with modern, timeless design and introduces the child to the ancient game of "rocking" in a safe and fun way. The rocking horse is designed with a special "brake curve" ensuring that the horse doesn't rock too high. Also, the rocking horse is designed to ensure that the child sits securely in a protected seat. This results in a safe position during the rocking and prevents the child from touching the floor. So if you are looking for some Modern Classics that pleases both kids and parents, Moover is a great choice. You can buy it right here.

Petit Crabe - UV sun-protective Swimwear
May 7th, 2012 · Naomi
· Shopping,
The summer and the summer holidays are coming up in a couple of month very soon and I have been looking for some nice sun-protective Swimwear for the kids. I came across this very nice Danish brand Petit Crabe who makes some really cool stuff. I'm really crazy about it! The styles and the quality is just exquisite.
Read here the idea behind Petit Crabe:
A summer day at the peer or beach with children catching crabs – is there anything better?
Their enthusiasm when a crab is caught in the net, the joy of setting it free afterwards and watch it wander back into the ocean. The children can sit there for hours – but they don´t have a crab´s protective shield, and can end up having the same color as their little playmate, auch! Petit Crabe is a Copenhagen based designer label for children between 0 and 8 years of age. The mission of Petit Crabe is to produce stylish and comfortable swimwear that both young and older children will love to wear. And most importantly, the swimwear must protect against the harmful rays of the sun.
An older child will often prefer a beautiful swimsuit, a bikini or a pair of cool swim shorts as suppose to a bodysuit. Being able to offer the child a matching UV swimshirt or hat to use when needed it is my belief, that you will have a good chance of meeting your child’s wishes with the swimwear range from Petite Crabe – and your child will be happy, safe and look adorable in the sun at the same time.
Petit Crabe has focus on chic and minimalistic design, and the many combinations allow you to mix and match the styles to your taste.
You can buy the collection online at the Petit Crabe Webshop, find a retailer or find it in Illum in the center of Copenhagen.

Louisa Lorang's Recipe on Springrolls
March 21st, 2012 · Naomi
· Food,
Spring is finally in the air! And speaking of spring, you have to try Louisa Lorang's Recipe on Spring rolls:) Take a look:
"Spring rolls are a great way to present some vegetables for the kids. Use the cabbage you have
and let the kids roll it themselves. It sure is a favorite at our house! Buy spring roll dough from the freezer in Asian supermarkets, or choose an organic and whole grain version (In Cph. you can find it right here at Aarstiderne).
20 g of very thin rice noodles
boiling water
200 g oyster mushrooms
a little oil for frying
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
3 carrots julienne
¼ - ½ white cabbage, finely chopped
2 tbsp. grated ginger
½ cup soy
2 tbsp. fish sauce
2 tsp. sugar
2 tbsp. flour
2 tbsp. cold water
spring roll dough
a little oil for brushing
ACCESSORIES:
salad / cabbage salad
lime
sweet chili sauce
rice
Add rice noodles in a bowl and cover them with boiling water.
Cut of the bottom of the oyster mushrooms and discard it. Cut mushrooms into rough pieces. Toast them lightly golden
in oil on a hot pan. Add the garlic, carrots and cabbage and fry and fry it all a little without it taking any color. Add the ginger, soy, fish sauce and sugar and let the vegetables fall
together. Season to taste and let the filling drain in a colander.
Stir flour and water together and put
a piece of dough in front of you with a corner facing you. Place the filling at the bottom,
nearest corner and fold the corner over the filling. Roll once and fold in the sides. Butter
the edge with flour mixture and close spring roll together fairly tightly. Fry them in oil on a
hot pan or brush them with oil, and cook for 10-15 minutes in a 200 ° oven.
Serve spring rolls with cabbage salad or salad, lime and sweet chili sauce and rice"
