Birthdayparty a la card
This eco friendly picnic set comes with wooden cutlery and a tray holds an untreated cardboard plate. A cupholder and a place to deposit fork and knife are also there, to keep a hand free to refill the plate. Due to these qualities the picnicset became a big hit for children´s birthday parties. And probably also because it is convenient, recycable, easy to dispose and also low priced: a pack of three sells for only 4,50 €.

busy schedule
What did you do today?” I ask my daughter over dinner.
“Nothing,” she replies.
Never mind the breakfast, tv, painting, wrestling with her brother, snack time!, running, jumping, decorating boxes, making cards, checking the mail, more snacks – this time yogurt, nap time, groggy wake-up, riding in the car, ice skating, play time, dinner…
And that is the idea behind “Busy Schedule.” A toddler tee on a rich navy American Apparel shirt.
where are my legs?
Here’s a great way to get kids involved with cleaning up the beach. This toy octopus is missing his 8 legs. You’re supposed to find plastic bottles and screw them on to become his legs. Once you get all 8, he’ll be buoyant enough to float. Designed by Jaehyung Hong
