I’ve been on the hunt for a wigwam or play house for Alfie and during my search I happened upon this little gem from hip Danish company Bobles, who make the tremendously fun Tumbling Animals, also available from Little Zebra.

Now that we’ve saved the UK’s forests (yay for people power) I thought it was appropriate that we did a round-up of the best ideas for woodland-themed rooms – it seems that children’s designers’ love of this subject knows no bounds.

While the apple motif is an enduring trend, I am seeing a surge in delights recently making it a hot trend.

After seeing Saria leaping around on the Fatboy beanbags at Bubble I have begun to think there might be room in our house for a modern styled beanbag.
