Going nuts at the zoo! Every now and again we get an invitation at the maternity & infant office that we just have to accept – and in September it was an invitation to see the naming of the two baby elephants in Dublin Zoo. Sponsored by the Natural Confectionary Company (liberally sampled by the ed’s two little ones), we got to meet the two cuties, named Kavi and Ashoka by competition winners Sally Cullen and Katie Bush (pictured) – believe us, these little ones are worth a visit alone! Cuteness overload.

Lego play Parents everywhere are already sweating about Christmas and those Santa lists, and some may even have started the buying – but what if your child changes his mind between now and Christmas? Play it safe with Lego, which is always a hit. We love the Lego Juniors range, which is designed to bridge the gap between Duplo and the older sets.
Cos style Cos, which now has a standalone store on Dublin’s Wicklow Street, is known for its ultra-cool minimalist fashion – but its childrenswear is also great for your little hipsters. The new collection is full of essential pieces, plus bursts of pattern and colour to liven up the dark days. Girls’ printed dress, €29, and boys’ contrast zip up-top, €35.

Brain food We all know that fish oils are great for kids’ memory and concentration, essential during the pre-school and early school years. But the yucky taste means that many kids won’t take them. Enter Eskimo-3 Kids Formula, from €11.80, which features a pleasant lime flavour with no fishy aftertaste. Problem = solved.
