Possibly the world's cutest baby shoes ever. If you like elephants.

When my daughter was a toddler, she suffered from a malady we called "foot claustrophobia". Wrangling a pair of shoes onto that squirming, hyperventilating child was an exercise in futility, until we found a pair that had a high "distraction" factor--a butterfly sewn on the shoe, right where she could see it. Much as it helped, that insect wasn't even close to the cuteness level of these.

 

The new pink/red Baby Elephant shoes from longtime CMP fave Livie and Luca are a bright fresh take on their popular Brown Elephants. These sassy pachyderms will steal your child's heart (and focus), while you are ooh-ing and ahh-ing over the handmade craftsmanship, the comfy padded collar, and the super lightweight  but very durable wear. And with sizes 0-24 months, you can keep up the cuteness for two whole years.

In fact, they're so cute that my now 8-year old daughter just peeked over my shoulder at the photograph, completely distracted from her extremely important 8-year old endeavors.  That's some serious cute, people. -Shari, our newest coolest contributor. Yay!
