Collages by Djeco

When we were little we used to love making collages and playing with different papers and materials. We're so glad that there are companies still keeping the tradition alive.

Moustachio Madness!

Moustache's are HUGE right now. Everywhere you turn there's a stick, hat, glove, sock or whatever with a mustache on it. Believe you me, we're loving it and these new mustaches are great additions.

Finger Puppet Book: In My Nest

We have fallen inlove with Lorena Siminovich's work over and over and over again; and it doesn't look like our love is going to die any time soon. Especially not when she's continuing to put out sweet items such as this wonderful book.

Toy Designer: Ben Blanc

We're always really excited about new and innovative toy designs.. I mean, who isn't? Especially when they're made out of recycled materials - that usually helps us justify buying yet another toy!

Butter Flying: Hand Made Mobiles

We grew up with fun mobiles in our room, but they were never hand made. They were usually made from plastic and store bought; not nearly as personal, or as exquisite as these hand made mobiles.

Interesting Illustrations from Sophie Blackall

It seems like parents are usually stumped when it comes to art work in a nursery or small child's room. I think I found some of the cutest, well drawn illustrations that I'm almost thinking about purchasing for myself...

Hot or Not? Baby Dam

What do you think of this Baby Dam? It's a way to turn your bathtub into a baby bathtub as a way to save water and inevitably money.

Yummy Toys from Bombadill

Food inspired toys are some of my favorite because they're easily recognizable to children. Kids are always going to know what an ice cream cone and cupcakes look like. I played with food inspired toys when I was younger and I absolutely love to cook now; maybe there's a link there!

Play in the Clouds with Buclo

When I was little, the walls of my room were painted to look like I was surrounded by clouds. How I wished I could just jump up in the sky and bounce from cloud to cloud; or even just take a nap on one. I'm really excited that clouds are now available for lounging and bouncing!

Alphabet Drawers by Kent and London

This vintage printing block inspired dresser may set you back a pretty penny, but, it's worth the asking price. Imagine this in your home and all of the lessons you can teach from it. I'm thinking D is for Diapers, P is for Pajamas!

Big Town Print

The makers of the recycled, reusable grocery bags have taken their craft one step further. They're now introducing the Baggu Penguin; a soft, cuddly, 100% organic cotton new best friend for your child.

City Stencils

What a great and fabulous way to teach your children about far and interesting places such as London, Paris, Tokyo or maybe a place a little closer to home- New York City. The MoMA Store is now selling City Template Stencils designed by Muji.
