Flying Pig Paper Animations

I couldn’t resist featuring Flying Pig Paper Animations, kits that are a rather cool way of introducing your child to paper automata. The kits need you to help put it together (PVA needed) but kids are sure to be enthralled at watching the paper come to life. Mexican Peck (top) is my favourite, plus they’re [...]

Isossy Children

I’m loving these ‘transeasonal’ buys by Isossy Children , a girls clothing brand with Asian and African influences designed by London based Nigerian designer Amanda Rabor. As its nippier now, these will work well layered over long sleeved tops, tights, and leggings. They’re a much needed contemporary take on fabrics that are often more traditionally [...]

Magnatab by Kid-o

Magnatab’s by Kid-o are a serious splash of intelligent, cool, beautifully designed play to help children learn to write letters and numbers. The accompanying magnetic pens are used to draw over the tablets so that the ball bearings rise up with the task of pushing them back down fun and fascinating too. Aside from upper [...]

Scootrix Wheel Whizzers for Scooters

Scooter accessories are clearly a hot trend what with Scoot’s scooter hooks, horns, streamers and forthcoming deck lites, drink holders and clip on lights, plus my survival kit for the school run, the Scoot n’ Pull being recently featured. Another buy for pimping their rides are Scootrix Wheel Whizzers, pattern making wheel caps that personalise [...]

Paperboy – new wallpaper designs

I’ve been a fan of Paperboy Interiors ever since I featured their boy centric range of wallpaper last year. While I’m not keen on being too gender focused, it’s no secret that boy owners are often shortchanged in the decor and even style stakes, so it is great to see someone taking boyish themes (that [...]
