The jellyfish tank lamp is a night light that does not need feeding. The 69 hole bubble bazooka is for the yard once the kid can walk. The cat vegetable peeler is the one a toddler will demand to help with, and that is the point of it.

The countertop version of the machine behind every movie theater lobby. It doesn't freeze anything on its own, and that surprises people. You pre chill the canister and the syrup, then it spins the mixture with ice until the texture goes to slush. Syrup is sold separately. Budget for that.
Pull the trigger and 69 wands fire at once, thousands of bubbles a minute, with lights running down the barrel for no reason except that it's a bazooka. Nontoxic ABS, no sharp edges. A child will empty the bubble solution in about four minutes and ask for more. Buy the refill at the same time.
The front half is a horse. The back half is a shark. Randimals makes a whole line of these, and Hork is the one that stops people in the doorway. Fifteen inches, soft enough to sleep with, and it's the kind of thing a kid names in under a minute. Adults take a bit longer.
Splatypus is a spatula shaped like a platypus, and the bill is the part that matters: flat and wide enough to reach the corner of a jar where the last of the peanut butter hides. Silicone and nylon, food safe. It beats the spoon you've been using.
A spoon and a fork with monster faces, standing up on their own feet so they don't slide into the dressing. Food-grade plastic, dishwasher safe, made by OTOTO. They come out with pasta and greens and disappear into somebody's hand for a minute of puppetry before dinner. The heads are the grip, and it works.
American cheese singles come in a bag that stops closing after the third slice. This is a flip-top, cow-shaped container built for that bag and nothing else. It's a narrow product with a real use, sitting in your fridge, being a cow about it.
Draining pasta usually involves a colander, a sink and a moment of regret. This clips to the pot rim instead, and the shape it takes doing it is a goose leaning over the edge with its beak in the water. Top-rack dishwasher safe, food-safe plastic.
A small square tank, a quiet pump, and a few silicone jellyfish that drift up and down in the current while LEDs cycle through colors. The tank is square on purpose, so the shapes don't warp the way they do behind a curved wall. Fill it with water, plug it in, and it does its thing for as long as you leave it on. Nothing to feed.
The blade is the tongue. Every stroke down a potato pulls it out of the cat's mouth, so peeling turns into something a kid will volunteer for. The peeler underneath is ordinary and fine. That's the trick with Peleg Design: the tool works whether or not you think the cat is funny. Hand wash.
