One of my favorite decorative items in our co-working space is the Sailing Ship Kite by Emily Fischer of Haptic Lab. It makes for an amazing, crafty gift.
Space Explorer
Love this Space Explorer Iron on Patch.
VW Campervan Children’s Play Tent
How incredibly retro cool is this VW Campervan Children’s Play Tent? The best part; it pops up and packs down into a spare wheel carry case.
F Bunk Bed
The F Bunk Bed by Rafa Kids is the most stylish kids bunk bed I have seen to date. Lets consider it wishlisted for Tilo’s room.
Ugmonk Kids Collection
Ugmonk launched a Kids Collection. The above Tee, Mountains is my favorite. Totally getting one for Tilo!
Enamel Paper Airplane Pin
City of Industry launched another product; the Enamel Paper Airplane Pin. I don’t know about you but I have a major, adorable gift alert going off here!
Red Fire Hydrant Pillow
This Plush Fire Hydrant made me giggle. Tilo (3) would definitely approve!
To Live To Learn To Love
Really excited over today’s new Tattly launch. Designed by Lila Symons: To Live To Learn To Love.
Rainbow Pencils
Made from recycled paper, rainbow pencils let you create beautiful paper rainbows when you sharpen them. Congrats to the designer Duncan Shotton.
Fairy Ring Cushion
We have these IKEA kids stools at home and I love them. I just discovered these Fairy Ring Cushion pillows that are made for them. Adorable.
OTO Cardboard Ice Cream Truck
I just got a personal hand-delivery of one of the first OTO Cardboard Ice Cream Trucks by no other than the inventor, Måns Swanberg, himself. (I wrote about the Kickstarter back in March.) If you’re a parent of a little one, you might want to bookmark this one. You can even create a custom plate in your kids name. Totally adorable. My kids will be giddy when they get this for the holidays. A total winner!
UPDATE: Måns just emailed me with a discount code! Use SWISSMISS at checkout and get 10% off.
Team Tattly took it for a spin, 5 minutes after arriving at Tattly HQs. of course. And, I took over a shift as well.
Yellow Owl’s Little Prints
I just got my hands on the new Yellow Owl’s Little Prints book. Christine Schmidt, author of the bestselling Print Workshop and the creative force behind the acclaimed Yellow Owl Workshop line of artisan stationery and home accessories, shares her inspired ideas for making easy, yet entirely unique items for kids. It’s full of beautifully illustrated tutorials on using stamps, stenciling, and other hand-printing techniques. Ella (7) will be so excited when she sees this tonight! I see some extra crafty weekends in my future.
FiLIP
FiLIP is a locator and wrist watch for kids. Using the FiLIP app, you pre-program 5 phone numbers that your child can call. Your child can scroll through the 5 numbers and call the one they want with the touch of a button. Smart.
(Thanks Thomas)
Skootcase
Skootcase is every airport traveling kid’s dream come true. (It’s a suitcase and a scooter!)
Paper Toy Bag
This recycled Toy Paper Bag made me look. Probably not all that practical when it actually comes to storing toys, but it sure looks cool. Also available as paper and plastic bag.
Grumpy Rain Cloud
Grumpy Rain Cloud Pin Brooch. Made me smile.
Camper Play Tent
This Camper Play Tent would have made me *so* happy as a little kid.
Ostrich Pillow Junior
I wrote about the adult version of the Ostrich Pillow in January of 2012. They now just released a kids version. I continue to be intrigued.
The Human Body
The Human Body, the first app by Tinybop is finally out. It was illustrated by the wonderful Kelli Anderson, who wrote an interesting blog post about the process.
The Human Body lets you explore a working model of the body. Every part is beautifully animated and interactive: the heart beats, guts gurgle, lungs breathe, the skin feels, and eyes see. Designed for kids ages 4+ to discover what we’re made of and how we work.
Do yourself (and your kids) a favor and download it pronto. It’s stunning. Stunning. Stunning.
Hand Shadow Puppet Chart
This Hand Shadow Puppet Chart made me look. Tempted to buy one for the kids room.
Analog Enamel Envelope Pin
You know what makes me happy? Anything that celebrates analog mail! In this case, this beautiful Enamel Envelope Pin.
What makes me even happier is that this is a personal project by my Tattly Team member Sarah Anderson. She had the idea for the pins, designed them, had them made, set up a site, and boom, she is in business. I love the internets and friends that embrace the opportunities it brings. Yay for side projects!
Now, go buy a pin, yes?
