ALPHABET CHART

This adorable print by Anna Bond of Rifle Paper Co really makes me smile. Created from an original gouache painting, it features an illustrated animal for each letter of the alphabet. I love the handmade look that feels both nostalgic and timeless. Would look gorgeous in a nursery and is the perfect aid for early learning!

UNTO THIS LAST

The simplest things really are the best. How I LOVE these toy cars in White, Oak, Walnut and Dark Brown by Unto This Last. Below some more animals...Have a lovely weekend!

MOVE THOSE PEAS!

At the moment, my son is a very fussy eater… I just found out about these fun transportation plates designed by Boguslaw Sliwiński. I am not sure if it will encourage him to eat his veggies, but they sure will guarantee he will stay at the dinner table and play with them!

'ALBIE' THE PUPPY LIGHT

Design duo JamesPlumb can just create the perfect pet, no complications: the ‘Albie’ Puppy Light’ resembles a beloved pet. Oke, it is not exactly a cuddly pet, but the ‘Albie’ Puppy Light  is without doubt a unique design concept. Designers, James Russell and Hannah Plumb, create only 25 of these lights doggie wheels for a set of limited edition that has been showcased in the Tent London 3 years ago. Made of recycled materials, including reclaimed wood and old toys. Even those broken toys by our kids can still be usable and make it an important part or material of a more useful household material like the lamp!

DADDY COOL

The card is made with 100% recycled paper that is manufactured with 100% green power. Via Etsy. Happy Father's Day! Below some more 'cool' cards for other festivities which I would like to share with you..

HAPPY TOYS

This really makes me happy! Toys where you can see where it comes from, made out of prunings of the family farm. Usuals is a new label with special designed items, limited and unique pieces. All designed and produced by designers duo van Eijk & Van der Lubbe and their team. For more fun visit their website, the sales is through their webshop only.

BIRTHDAY IN A BOX

Such a great idea: A tiny helium balloon tied with thread floats out of its box to announce the upcoming festivities! This idea, from On Hand Modern, was conceived for a first birthday party…an accordion-fold insert that so perfectly stated “tiny food and tons of fun for a little girl who is turning one…join us for scout’s first birthday party.” How adorable!

ANTICS ANT BLOCKS

Have you heard about the Antics Ant Blocks yet? The fun never stops with these funny blocks marching four by four.... Trails of ants connect on all six sides of these sixteen blocks, forming never-ending patterns for your kids to explore.  Each set contains images of ant hills, a queen with her eggs, and a spider, the ant's nemesis. Made by Uncle Goose. So cool!

JUNO THE SPHEROVELO

The adorable Spher­ov­elo Juno (“ball bike”) is a bike designed for chil­dren ages 12 months to roughly 2–1/2 years old. Designed to be the perfect pre-cursor to a balance bike. The stabilizing balls keep it steady for first learners, it’s fun and maneuverable and will turn in any direction. The clever thing happens though when you remove the little stabilizers – it becomes unstable and the child then utilizes their developing motor skills to balance themselves and keep it upright. Designed by the great Early Rider team. Can't wait to get one for Filippa's 1st birthday!

ROCK THE CRADLE

Here's a clever idea by Ontwerpduo; a unique piece of furniture called the Rockid. This all-in-one eco-friendly rocking chair and cradle allows you to remain hands-free while softly swinging your little one to sleep. Made from coated birch ply wood and industrial felt. When your child outgrows the cradle, you can reconstruct the Rockid into a rocking chair. Smart!
