Chipmunk Plush
Realistic, huggable, and ready for adventures, introduce this Chipmunk Plush from the earliest days. We may take them for granted, but in addition to being adorable, they help disperse seeds and support new growth. (They also serve as food for other animals in the food chain, but you can save that fact for when your little one is a bit older!)

Cougar figurine (Florida panther)
Cougar figurine from schleich. Incredibly detailed fur pattern. Did you know cougars, panthers, mountain lions, and pumas all refer to the same species? We call them different names depending on where they are location. In the Pacific Northwest, they're usually called cougars or mountain lions. Often found in the forests and mountains, occasionally along the urban edge - eek!
Crinkle Acorn Teether
Can you believe that a tiny acorn becomes a mighty oak tree? A perfect metaphor the blink-and-you'll-miss-it nature of childhood. Savor your tiny acorns and help them build appreciation for the oak tree with Wee Gallery's Crinkle Acorn Teether.
Forest Magic
"Forest Magic" is a whimsically illustrated and well put together field guide/storybook for little ones that live near the forests in the Pacific Northwest. The guide breaks up what you might find in the forest into categories: leaves, animals, fungus, lichen, and wildflowers. But the MOST important page, in my opinion, is the "Do not touch" list at the end of the book. Critical for young explorers! Good for 5+.
Great White Shark Figurine
A great white shark figurine from schleich. These apex predators pass by the mid-atlantic coast as part of their annual migration - following warmer waters north to New England in the summers, and then wintering - like a good snowbird - down the southeast Atlantic coast. We love these figurines starting with young toddlers - perfect for playtime and bathtime.
Humpback Whale (Young Zoologist)
Beautiful illustrations and digestable facts about the majestic humpback whale are to be found in Humpback Whale in the Young Zoologist series. Can you believe these creatures have been sited in the Chesapeake, and even in the Potomac River?! They migrate around the Mid-Atlantic in the spring and summer months, so go test your luck and see if you will be blessed with a sighting.
My First 100 Pacific Northwest Animals
When my toddler was around 1, he just loved the Priddy Books - First 100 Words/Animals/Cars etc. My First 100 Pacific Northwest Animals is the same concept of clear and engaging photographs, single word descriptions, and sturdy boardbook, for all you lucky Pacific Northwest babies!
Ocean Earth Playsilk
We love Sarah's Silks' wonderful open-ended silks. This ocean earth playsilk can be anything, but we love it especially as a setting for your little one's beachwalk finds, figurines, and stuffies.
Owl Moon
An iconic story of a child and her father, Pa, going out one snowy night to look for a Great Horned Owl. Owl Moon transports you to the moon-lit silence of a winter forest. Beautifully illustrated.
