Say sayonara to saran wrap! We've never felt good about the amount of saran wrap we use in the kitchen, but even more so now that we have half-eaten yogurts and mini-meals abandoned by our toddler. Our guilt finally motivated us to make some shower-cap style bowl covers.
This new quilt design from Denyse Schmidt caught our eye in the latest Land of Nod catalog. With a vintage look, dots, flowers, and solids, this would be a lovely piece to build a room around.
DIY's for items that are a part of our everyday lives are always the best, especially when they can be pretty pricey. The thing about changing pads is that not only can they be pricey, but they can get pretty dirty! We would much rather make our own custom changing pad for a low cost!
It looks like the chalkboard craze isn't going away anytime soon. If you want to include a chalkboard somewhere in the house for the kids but want something more formal looking, consider this.
Made from an old soap box and some found fabric, Mia's adorable play kitchen proves once again that you don't need a woodworking shop and mad carpentry skills to build a beautiful play kitchen.
We love easy projects we can make with our kids, and this easy peasy scarf definitely fits the bill. If you're not the greatest sewer, no worries -- all you need to do is able to sew in a straight line.
Q: My 15 month old daughter just loves her alphabet blocks. She and my husband have so much fun with the alphabet song and letter identification. We thought it would be fun to have some flashcards around, but I can't seem to find any that I like. Have you guys ever featured alphabet or basic word flashcards that are a little nicer than the blah ones they sell at at teacher supply stores?

The easiest way to make a dramatic change in any child's room is by using wall decals. They come in all shapes and sizes &mdash and we're sort of in love. We love them even more when they don't cost an arm and a leg and come in more designs than just race cars.
It's time to break out the food coloring again. If you're looking for a great indoor activity that the little ones will probably want to do over and over again, try teaching them about color.
We love P'kolino for their practical, attractive and affordable furniture and we also love that they've been branching out into new products especially their newest items for little artists.

Getting mail, even pretend mail, is fun for kids any time of the year, but even more so around Valentine's Day (just ask Charlie Brown). Tiffany of Simply Modern Mom shows you how to make a mailbox for your kids out of decorative paper and a few other simple items.
We seriously can't get enough of Made by Joel. Just last week, we featured the awesome dollhouse Joel made for his twins, and now we just have to show you his kiddo-related architecture on a larger scale: this time in the beautiful playhouse he built in his back yard.
