For once, clicking on an online pop-up ad had a good outcome. We saw the phrase "cartoonify yourself" and couldn't resist clicking. It took us to befunky a website that, among other effects, ...
We really like the short legs of these vintage desks from India. Kids can sit on the floor comfortably to use them, or you can also use them on a bed or couch....
All we can say is wow. Just wow. The pictures say it all when it comes to this amazing children's play room outfitted with one of the coolest tree houses we've ever seen. Although it might b...
Kids love hand stamps and temporary tattoos. But instead of a picture stamped on an arm, how about something that will promote imaginary play?...
We tend to take a 50/50 approach when it comes to our parenting duties, but it can be hard to remember whose turn is when at 3:30 am. No problem. Enter the Wheel of Responsibility, possibly the most e...
Pink...taken up a couple notches. We love the combination of pastel pink swirled together with funky touches coming together in this lovely girl's bedroom.

Q: My daughter is 7 months old and my mother has approached my husband and I to travel with her to visit family in Guatemala in February. My daughter will be 1 year and two months old by then. Every...
Tyvek isn't a material we're very familiar with (you might know it as what painter's suits are made out of), but when we saw it in these pretty colors and pattern we wanted to know more. It's ...
We came across these sassy little robot clocks that are the perfect accent to your children's spaces. Although, truth be told, they're kinda perfect for lots of spaces! They would be a great ...
Books are one of the greatest tools for learning, and keeping them organized and easily accessible is equally important. We rounded up a few of our favorite ideas for book storage (besides the t...
Like embroidery, cross stitch has been enjoying a "comeback" for a while now. Especially great for those in-between ages on in-between days when the t.v. needs to stay off, cross stitch is fun,...
Coming home from long walks, errands and the playground always means a souvenir or two picked up along the way. Sometimes it's a wildflower, some acorns, or an egg-shaped rock. But where to place te...

If you happen to run into Kerri's family at one of the music festivals they love to attend, feel free to warm up by their fire or dip your toes into their lake. And, who knows, her son might b...
If you're a parent, you quickly find out that your baby is more interested in the everyday stuff. Our little one loves paper- anything from the bills we have waiting to be paid to a bowl of wrapped t...
When we saw these new modern children's quilts from design duo Adam Young and Michael Alvarado, better known as "Got Me In Stitches," we knew they weren't a secret we could keep to ourselves. ...
Rachel's Jenn Ski alphabet card display was a hit. We found yet another great example of an alphabet card display using twine and clips....

The family that plays together...well, plays together. A well thought out playroom is more than just a group of toys, it requires a certain amount of planning and organization. A smattering of beaut...

In light of yesterday's discussion about potty training, we wanted to show you an incentive idea that one of our readers shared with us: a crown for your child to wear upon their "throne."...
We have a serious love for pull toys. Maybe it just fits with our bossy nature and always wanting to be the pack leader of a group, but either way, these eco-friendly string-along turtles coul...
Another one of our fabulously crafty readers, Jacqueline, sent in this before photograph of a glider she received for free from a family member. Check out the stylish transformation below the jump......

Do you have fond memories of summer days being pulled around town in your Radio Flyer wagon? Or were you instead reluctant to climb into a scorching hot metal chariot? Making a wagon cover will ke...

Learning at home is not just about the ABCs and 123s, it's about teaching kids basic skills and one of the most challenging is potty training. As the start of the school year looms some parents may...

These won't be out until November of this year, but a quick sneak peak of some pretty unique designs from eco-friendly company, Spot on Square. ...

We've been noticing all sorts of stylized trees in the nursery, but this comes closest to the real thing....
We recently found these lovely spice jars at Anthropologie and thought they would make an excellent math aid. How great would these little beauties be for help with sorting and counting?...

We weren't sure what we thought of Pamela Bell's laissez-faire attitude toward children, markers and white couches, but this similarly decorated chair might be inching us ever so slightly toward lik...
We get nostalgic when we think about our "family phone." Ours was a white rotary phone, and when it rang, we never knew who was calling. Mom and dad did not have their own "cells." We all shared. ...
First Lady, Michelle Obama, spends a good amount of time reading to children and not just her own! From coast to coast she works to engage the young minds of our country and we've noticed she...
We've blogged about reusable snack bags and snack pouches before. While we thought they were a great idea, our first time using a similar fabric snack bag came this past week with the Graze Organic b...

Q: I purchased three of the Michael Olaf frames for my son Gunnar's nursery (inspired by Finiann's room that you featured earlier this year). I was surprised when I received them that they were open-...
It's been a relatively mild summer here in New York, but the last few days have been hot, hot, hot. Left to my own devices I would be splayed out in front of our a.c. all day long, but my 14-month-...
We mentioned the Tone kids chair awhile back, but that wasn't what drew our attention in this photo. Instead, it was the softly understated pastel background that makes you think of sweet dreams and...
No glue, no mess, no special materials- just use what you have on hand. We really like the concept of a move-able collage. You can just arrange your favorite materials as many different ways as you ...

Indoctrinate them while they're young! Actually this campaign is one we wouldn't mind our kid being a target of. With wartime home front propaganda posters as his inspiration, artist Joe Wirt...
We usually showcase kid spaces here on Ohdeedoh, but as we all know, kid spaces have a ripple effect throughout our homes. Many of us have been in the position of saying goodbye to a home office ...
Treat the mom in your life to one of Hallmark's new Edge of Motherhood Cards, we especially appreciate this one, which is a classic, do as I say, not as I do example. Or the next one in line w...
We were intrigued. Apparently it's a practice that began in England in 1854 when a national park guide left his calling card in a bottle and invited those who found it to leave theirs as well. It's ...
When we were kids, tea towels were just towels. Seeing how they have evolved into stylish kitchen accessories, we love the idea of using them as wall art. How cute is this?
...
Q: Wanting to know of any Modern style rockers or gliders that are on the market. I'm looking for a Danish-inspired rocker or a clean lined upholstered glider. The best I can find is the Alto Rocker...

Last week we kicked off our Big Blog Family feature and this week we're proud to introduce to you Jill Green from Handmade By Jill. Her blog is packed full of fabulous crafts and tutorials that she ...
How's this for a fantastic little desk (that doesn't scream "Desk!") for the young 'uns? Perfectly designed for pint-sized work and storage, it can also be used throughout the house after your child o...
These charming prints from photographer Michelle Ciarlo-Hayes, Alphabet Soup!, come as individuals of your favorite letter or as a set of 26 (a large set, as the minimum size runs 8 x 10"). You can al...
Summer is a great time to introduce your kids to letter writing. Some of our own earliest letter writing was to other little girls we met at Cape Cod during our summer vacation. A few fun ideas for ...
A while back, we mentioned that Marimekko had introduced the Bo Boo wallpaper -- perfect for a boys' room or nursery. We recently found the Biloba wallpaper and thought, "Why not?" This is also fitt...
