Product review & giveaway: NooNoo blanket from Raising Rascals
Do any of your kids have a lovey? A soft something-or-other they cherish and take everywhere?
Lucy has a crocheted blankie from a family friend. Alice is still developing hers, but one of her favourites is the NooNoo bug-gy blanket which we received from our friend Coreen at Raising Rascals.
Here’s why we love it:
- it’s oh-so-soft
- small and portable, with a loop for linking on a stroller, car seat, crib or high chair
- loops for gnawing on
- fun textures: the fabric is a soft felted wool, with circles embroidered on for pulling and counting, while the edges are lil’ rounded lumps
- a whimsical and cute sheep smiles out at you from the centre (the company says this is an example of “child art imagery)
- colourful polka dots on the back make both of us smile
The only thing I don’t really like is that it’s white. And white shows EVERY bit of dirt and food and whatever. Which might be a good thing, really — it certainly gets washed a lot!
These would make a lovely shower or welcome baby gift, and are sure to become a favourite as the child grows.
I have a NooNoo for a lucky reader to win! Here’s how: Poke around the Raising Rascals website, and leave a comment with what would be on the top of your child’s wish list.
We’ll announce the winner Thursday. Have fun!

Wow, blankies have evolved! My blankie as a child was created from a flannel sheet set that my mom “salvaged”…
After reviewing the products available on the website, I think that the Hatley Dinosaurs Kids Back Pack, or perhaps the lil buddies bank: turtle would be at the top of Aiden’s wish list.
Alexis would LOVE LOVE the Melamine Dish Set – Well Bred Horse. Too cute for words.
oddly enough i think Owen would love to have the Wisey car bag… he loves to lug things around with him, especially in the car and could definitly use some fun organizatin. All of the easy to acess pouches, would keep his prescious things at his fingertips and my mind on the road
I definitely love the Teach My Toddler kit and my son would love it as well! He loves when I sit with him and teach him new things! He is very quick at picking up on things so I think this would be at the top of both our wish lists!!!
lol…Dakota takes after her mom..I beleive she would love the Little Soles Shoes..chocolate and Pink of course.
It was hard to decide what I liked the best. I loved the crib sheet sets. But I think my favourite item would be the Klean Kanteen 12oz Sippy in the Pink Renewal colour.
Under the Nile organic monkey. Cameron has a thing for stuffies as we call them, not just one to sleep with, but about a dozen! Each day he had a particular favourite. He used to be glued to frogs (we have about 7 various ribeters), but now he is switching to monkeys, starting with his hallowe’en costume we just got this weekend
)
Mya would love the pink elephant piggy bank… Carmen would love the Noo noo… Simply because it can be easily put in her mouth!!!
Corinne would like one of the personalized blankets. I still have the one made for me by a family friend.
We LOVE tyhe Klean Kanteen with the sippy lids – as they work with avent nipples too! We bought one in the summertime for our new babe (born just 3 weeks ago) and he tried it for the first time 2 days ago. This is on the top of our wish list, as we are looking to buy some soon!
I think Matalynn would like the “Baby Chenille Blanket – Butterfly”, we have butterflies above her change table and she loves watching them above her while she gets changed
I love the sports canvas painting & the sports wooden letters
I love the personalized name hangings – they are so adorable.
I have 2 children…one who is 2 years old and one who is 7 months. I know my daughter would love the knotty octopus! There are so many colours in it and she would love to play with and teeth on it…lol… My son would love the organic monkey. He loves stuffed animals and likes to jump around and act like a monkey…sound effects and all! We call him our little monkey!!
My little boy would love a personalized cd. He loves music. We had seen them on another site and were planning on getting him one for Christmas.
carter would LOVE the sports themed drawer pulls! He loves opening and closing drawers and helping me put away his laundry and gather the laundry (his fun new “chore”), which is a good place to start for a 4 year old!……:)
My little girl would love the NooNoo Bamboo/Organic Cotton Sheep Rattle! It’s too cute!
How do you choose just one! I loved so many, many things.
The Elegant Baby blanket with blue and chocolate stripes, the “drunk on boobjuice” onesie, under the nile organic monkey – what kid or parent would not love that one!, the Elegant baby – baby bowl and spoon sets, the dish set with the bear saying “Hungrrry”, the Animals growth charts and the adorable drawer pulls. So many wonderful items that neither I nor my toddler can choose just one!
Definitely the name the tune CD that incorporates your childs name….so personalized. All the personalized items are great!
The knotty octopus is so cute – definitely something I would look into purchasing!
There are so many cute things on this website. I LOVE the formal dresses for little girls!! My little girl (just turned 2) would love the Little Soles – Squeaky Shoes in Black (she loves shoes) and The Safe Sippy in Pink. And also the Hatley Apples Kids Back Pack. Then she’d be set to go. My 2 month old boy would love the Knotty Octopus. I’m going to keep this website in mind for Christmas shopping!! Thanks!!
Eirinn would love the princess name hanging because a) she loves all things princess and b) her parents were cruel enough to give her an unusually spelled name. Anything personalized will always have to be custom ordered for her! Sorry, Eirinn!
Lena loves when she hears her name and loves to shake-a shake-a to her music. So she would for sure love the personalized CD, incorporating 2 of her favourite things. I will have to order one for Christmas!!! What a great website!

The stroller blanket in dark green & beige would be absolutely perfect for the car during these chilly rides to daycare in the morning! Both my girls would be fighting over it.
So would I, for that matter lol
What great products, it’s so tough to pick just one. As a 28 year old who still sleeps with a blankey I can certainly understand the importance of a good one! I love all of the baby blankets (they would make fantastic gifts as well!) but I also like the stroller blanket (brown and beige) and the elegant baby bowl (with suction!!) and spoon.
The Under the Nile teething toy frog is very cute and probably what I should have for my son who does nothing but chew his fingers these days!
My daughter loves the Klean Kanteen, she is always wanting a new cup (usually in pink or purple)
