Dieter pointed me to the Switzerland iPhone Memory App. From the alpenhorn to the Combat des Reines through to the Swiss army knife, the whole originality of the game lies in a selection of symbols that celebrate the culture, the traditions, the particularities and the geography of Switzerland, all within a typically Swiss red and white design. Made me smile.
Alexander Girard originally created the images used in this memory game for his environmental enrichment panels that he designed to spice up Herman Miller’s Action Office plan. Each game comes with 72 pieces and a limited-edition wooden box. Made in the USA out of replenishable basswood and printed with child-safe non-toxic inks. Wonderful. Make sure to also check out the building blocks. Our little Ella is coo-coo about them! And then the dolls, they make me smile!
(thank you andy)

You Can’t Go To School Naked!
is Ella’s favorite book these days. It’s a lovely story and I don’t mind reading it over and over. If you have a little one around the age of 3, you should check it out. Story by Dianne Billstrom and Illustrated by Don Kilpatrick.

I agree with Jennifer, these Marlène polka dot suitcases could make for great toy storage.
So, here’s a product, I would have never bought, did I not have the chance to try it at a friend’s house the other day. PlayFoam
always looked messy to me. But you know what, it’s way less messy than Play-Dogh. In fact, it’s not messy at all and quite addictive to play with. I just picked up a box for our plane ride to the swiss alps tomorrow. Little Ella will be thrilled. And if not, I’ll have fun playing with it. Whee! (I admit thought, I do question if it can be harmful, it sure does smell toxic!)

Turn your office desk into a wild jungle with Bestarium Minimum by Julian Hector. Cut them out and piece them together. They stand, just like real animals would! Great for role playing games too. This one time, I played the part of the Griffin and Unicorn. Together, we poked the Cyclops’ eye out, dropped a book on top of the Minotaur, threw a (lit) match down the Dragon’s throat, and tied the Hydras’ necks into knots, all before Medusa turned us into stone… good times.
