WESTERPARK KID'S PARADISE

Amsterdam's Westerpark offers the most magical kids experiences. 

The Wild West playground is not an ordinary play, but an adventurous place where children under 13 can discover nature and where they can scavenge free, romp, mess and climb. Would you enjoy playing with sand and water, build a cabin, sailing on a raft, admiring frogs and insects, or stroll nicely and pick flowers?

It's all here! The Wild West is an adventure game where you can play in landscape and nature. 

There are three public Adventure Clubs, which kids can join for afterschool activities. The motto is 'Experience Nature to the bone', so they always go outside, whether it rains, storms, hails or when the sparrows fall from the roof: 

"Bad weather does not exist, bad clothing does."

KEK AMSTERDAM WALL STICKERS

Kids can imagine themselves sleeping in the forest or desert with these friends around them. 

Wallstickers from KEKAmsterdam are so realistically beautiful, you want to cuddle each one of the animals, or feed them milk.

IT'S A BAMBOO WORLD

Danish Designer Kirstoffer Zeuthen created the 'Bamboo Globe.' 

The aim of this designer is always, apart from enhancing user experience and solving practical problems, to seek out new ways of seeing and interacting with the world.

The 25 cm diameter globe highlights how beauty can be synonymous with environmental friendliness. The base is made from bamboo and the white steel rod replicates the globe's natural tilt. Inside there is a lightbulb. We love this for in the bedrooms of our kids, or at our own desk.

WE FOUND MR. FINCH

We found this unique work of Mister Finch, a UK based artist who taught himself everything he knows.

Scraps of thread, fabric and paper are stitched and pulled into fairytale creatures looking for new owners and worlds to inhabit.

 They hide in the woods, behind masks, some have died along the way and are buried under spoon lockets. Finch works alone and makes everything himself by hand in a studio full of books, glass jars and naughty cats.

Mr. Finch about his work:

"Most of my pieces use recycled materials, not only as an ethical statement, but I believe they add more authenticity and charm. A story sewn in, woven in. Velvet curtains from an old hotel, a threadbare wedding dress and a vintage apron become birds and beasts, looking for new owners and adventures to have. Storytelling creatures for people who are also a little lost, found and forgotten…"
