Polaposts turn regular photos into mailable Polaroid prints by fitting them fashionably snug inside an iconic white bordered sleeve. A built-in seal keeps your print from slipping out and a writable backside makes for easy message scribbling. Just snip your photos to fit, slip ’em inside then send them on their way. Instant happy!
Unicorn Chloe
My 5yo daughter would gladly adopt Chloe, the zipper pull unicorn.
Unconventional Use of Temporary Tattoos
Check out how I am going to decorate our Easter eggs this year: Tattly (temporary tattoos) on hard-boiled eggs. Thanks to Aimee for the tip!
Tattlys pictured: Pattern Band, Nerdy Bunny, Freckles, Good Bunny
(Animal) Eye Chart
This Animal Eye Chart by FL4Projects made me smile. It also comes in color. (You might recognize the Bunny!)
Bikes
Are you a bike enthusiast? If so, you’re probably going to like the Tattly we launched yesterday: Red Bike by Katie Evans, Let’s Ride by Mike Lowery, Pixel Bike by United Pixelworkers. Yay for spring and bike weather!
Buff Baby
This Rattle Dumbbell made me laugh.
GoVinci Backpack
The GoVinci Backpack features a clear frame that lets kids display their artwork. To add drawings simply undo the two top corners of the frame and slide in your tot’s colourful creation. Love it. This is quite the conversation starter on the way to school!
Beast
I have just fallen in love with Beast Pillow no.164. I dare you not to smile while looking at this little fellow.
Pig Planter
I give this handmade ceramic Pic Planter two thumbs up. Also comes in white and yellow.
The Egg Carton
You might not realize but Easter is approaching fast! April 8th is just around the corner.
That’s why we launched the Tattly Egg Carton today! It includes one dozen white plastic eggs, two each of Floppy Ears, Nerdy Bunny, Red Kicks, Freckles, Funny Bunny, and Good Bunny, and a cute carton to hold it all together. The eggs can be reopened in case you want to add a little extra fun in them!
If you’re not into plastic eggs, but more into handwritten notes, you can also buy Easter Card Sets.
Check out the entire Easter Collection. Bunnies make me happy!
Puzzlus Puzzle
Puzzlus Puzzle is a perfect gift for the color loving puzzle enthusiast!
Henri’s Walk to Paris
This lovely illustration is a page out of Saul Bass’ children’s book called Henri’s Walk to Paris. Discovered over on Brain Pickings, of course! Read the full post and see more pages.
Tattly for Coffee Lovers
Today’s Tattly Tuesday is dedicated to all coffee afficionados. (1 Tattly with 4 Coffee Illustrations by the amazing Julia Rothman)
Wooden Popsicle
This wooden popsicle made me chuckle. It was handmade in an edition of 150 by artist Johnny Hermann.

My First Stacker
I have a few favorite kids toy brands and Green Toys is one of them. My two year old recently got to play with their stacking toy and loved it. Owning a few stackable, nesting toys already I was surprised in how smart this set is. No matter what pieces you put on top of each other they still stack. The colors are lovely and it’s made out of recycled plastic. What’s not to love?
Green Toys My First Stacker,$11.79 on Amazon
Playground
Don’t forget to play by Marc Johns. Get it as a Tattly.
Magnatab
My kids are completely crazy over this Free Form Magnatab Toy. They draw and write with the magnetic stylus, which raises metal balls to the surface of the sealed Magnatab base. And erase their creation by pushing the magnets back down with the back of the stylus or their fingers.
To me, it feels like taking designing for screen, pixel constraints, to the analog world.
Clump-O-Lump
These Clump-O-Lumps made me smile: It’s a family of stuffed animals that can be mixed and matched thanks to the world’s best invention – the zipper. Oh, the fun that can be had. My favorites are Bee-o the Bee and Shark-o the Shark.
(Thank you Jake)
Soft Maps
It always puts a smile on my face when I see friends featured on blogs that I love. My studio neighbor Emily Fisher is currently featured on Herman Miller’s blog.
Emily creates stunning Soft-Maps, quilted maps of cities and neighborhoods that represent someone’s unique place in the world. She recently added baby quilts to her collection, such a fantastic gift for (designy) parents.
Maps on Quilts, made in Brooklyn? Yes, please!
Yummyfun Kooking
My daughter is completely obsessed with Yummyfun Kooking, a seriously adorable, quirky cooking show made for kids. (I love watching the show myself.) Ella loves the show so much, she asked me to sign her up for actual cooking classes. And I admit, that makes me happy.
So, here’s a brand new episode that Claire Crespo, the chef in the show and mastermind behind it all, *just* launched:
Ah, so apparently I can’t embed it, but you can watch it here.
Check out Claire’s website at yummyfun.com (warning: Flash Site) or buy her DVDs over on Amazon.
And here’s the Series Trailer:
What Time Is It?
Apparently not everybody is always running late; with this in mind, Team Tattly asked Julia Rothman to put a positive spin on her bestselling You’re Late Tattly to make Love Watch.
Wear it on a date, wear it to remind yourself that everyone needs a little more love in their life, or give one to a special friend. (Valentines Day is february 14th!)
Yay for new Tattlys! Love Watch!
Rocking Sheep
How cool is this Rocking Sheep? It was handmade by Los Angeles based Max Tyrie who got the inspiration for it from Povl Kjer’s design. Max claims that each prototype and design revision has been fastidiously test ridden by his 18-month old daughter, Rosie. That made me chuckle.
