I admit that bathing my babies wasn’t always my favorite thing. Well, it was fun when they were in great moods, but when they were tired and shrieking? I’d take all the help I could get. So I am totally taken with these adorably made, totally handmade woodland creature baby bath mitts from Texas Etsy artist, Busy Bonnie Bee.

Now before you get sticker shock (seriously, brace yourself), I notice that the $79 price includes all 6 of these very cute designs. So okay, about $12.50 each. Even the fox, and considering how trendy foxes are these days, you could probably charge double for it.  Plus they’re totally handmade, they support an independent artist, and they’re way cuter than the ones in the big baby stores which I often found scratchy and you know? Sometimes a little creepy. .

So admittedly this isn’t a purchase for everyone, though you generous aunts, godmothers and grandmothers should take note because they’re pretty darn great.

Also, expect some excellent puppet shows when the kids get a little older.
