'Grass' Countertop Drying Rack from Boon

Aside from the fact that it's just plain adorable, I love 'Grass,' the countertop drying rack from one of my favorite modern baby gear companies, Boon. Boon is no stranger to Petite Planet. I have written about their Stash organizational system, their non-toxic bath toys, and their innovative toddler feeding gear -- and the company continually releases fun, functional products that make a parent's job a little easier.

Confession: Before Grass sprouted on the countertop next to our kitchen sink, I was using a tupperware container lined with a paper towel to catch and dry all of the baby/toddler gear that required washing and air drying. (Gasp!) Grass is not only an immensely more stylish option, it gets the job done effortlessly.

When you toss anything from pacifiers and sippy cup lids to bottles, bottle nipples, forks and spoons atop Grass, it simply sticks to the blades to air dry -- with any excess water dripping to the white tray underneath. Both the Grass and the tray are top-rack dishwasher safe, and both components are BPA, phthalate and PVC free. Grass measures 10x10 inches, so it is the perfect size for small kitchens, and it really adds a fresh, sweet flair to the countertop!
