I truly love the concept behind this book: Big kids questions answered simply by truly great minds. A sample question would be: If you’re on a boat, with no food or water, what do you do? The answer is by Roz Savage, first woman to row three oceans. Or, Why is space so sparkly? Answered by Martin Rees, an astronomer.
Get it here: Big Questions from Little People: and Simple Answers from Great Minds
My three year old, letter obsessed Tilo, is seriously in love with his Alphaberry by B. Toys. I am usually not a big fan of toys that teach the alphabet, but this one won me over.
I am a big fan of Banter Banners and this new INTERNETS one made me chuckle. Now, if only it came in just white. Which reminds me, you can make your own. Hmm…
My son Tilo has the Magic Surround one in his room.
Tilo’s recent obsession with everything ABC makes me want to splurge and buy this Wooden Letter Puzzle.
This German Vintage Rubber Stamp Set from the 70s is full of wooden stamps, each one being a geometric shape and painted in a solid colour. #wishlisted
Cord tacos will help you clean up all of those wires in your bag. The premium leather taco greatly changes the look from messy to cool and organized.
I am so totally getting this old school bike horn.
How incredibly fabulous is this astronaut bedding by SNURK? Made me smile, ear to ear.

These Solar System Lollipops made me rejoice. They’re a Laughing Squid find from last year. They’re available at the Vintage Confections Etsy shop.
These Dutch EGG Helmets make me want to be a kid.
A lovely Woven Heart Card Tutorial over at MiniEco. Ready for Valentine’s day this Thursday?
I just guffawed when our mailman Peter walked in the door with a plastic pigeon on his shoulder. My awesome friend Bridget sent me a Pigeon Post. My day has been made. It can’t get any better. Carrier Pigeon Post. Hilarious!
Want to send some small Valentine’s notes that go beyond just a card? Consider the Valentine’s Tattly Multipack: The set contains 24 cards, stickers and Tattlys with four different designs. My daughter used these in school last year and scored some major points.
Everything’s better with a rainbow on it: Chief Financial Officer coin purse, designed by Ana Benaroya.
Love this open book bin by Land of Nod.
I have no idea if my kids would actually enjoy playing with this string sheep, but I sure wouldn’t mind having it lay around in the apartment. Pretty, no?
If there’s one thing kids are completely obsessed with, it’s straws. Now, these heart-shaped straws would push my daughter completely over the edge.
A cloud shaped eraser that holds a rainbow of pencils? YES!!
Team Tattly just launched friendship bracelets (blue / pink) designed by Julia Rothman. My daughter is going to go nutty over this one.
Magneticbook opens to reveal a blank face which can be customized with magnetic features. My kids would *love* this.
If there is one kids’ game I find myself playing a lot, it’s the Toca Boca Hair Salon. I admit I giggled in anticipation when I learned that they just came out with a new version today with more hairstyling fun. My favorite new feature? The curling iron!
If you want to buy iPhone and iPad apps for kids, have a close look at the Toca Boca universe. These guys are doing it right!
The folks of Kiss Me I am Polish took a refreshing stab at kids t-shirts. The result? Itty Bitty Project, a t-shirt series that lets the kids customize their tee. I love the idea, but am afraid the pieces will be lost in no time. But hey, I might be wrong!
No need to explain – it’s another f***ing tote. Made me chuckle.
