May 1, 2012 by Scandinavian mum

Hevea is products for babies; pacifiers, teether and bath toys made of 100% natural rubber, which is a natural sap coming from the rubber tree. It’s also biodegradable.
We especially love the design of the Hevea bath toys, and the fact it’s made of 100% natural rubber and therefor is BPA, phthalates and PVC free, with no added colours or synthetics.

Oscar, no ordinary dog

March 21, 2012 by Scandinavian mum

Oscar was designed in 1953 with the characteristic joy and care in Hans Bølling’s mind, and the little dog is a token of fun and playfulness. Oscar’s body can be arranged so that he does everything a normal dog would. He can sit, scrawl, stand, beg or even sulk in the corner if you have been away from him for too long.
