November 29, 2011 by · 1 Comment 

I’ve been on the lookout for some innovative, non toxic crayons that are perfect for little hands and I’m loving these stackable, vibrant sets of twelve Playon Crayons which I first saw a few months back when I was at Bubble. £9.95 Hop! Toy Shop and an excellent stocking filler.

New Prints from Oliver Jeffers

September 20, 2011 by · Leave a Comment 

  Oliver Jeffers is one of our favourite artists and children’s book authors. If, like me, you are in love with his illustrations then you can buy limited edition prints from his shop. Since I first wrote about his prints nearly three years ago he has added ten further prints from Lost and Found, The [...]

I’ve long been a fan of Jon Bergerman and his unique doodle style of illustration. We have a piece of his colouring in wallpaper framed in our playroom and everyone comments on it. High Above the Street have three limited edition prints available. Each print is A2 sized, printed on high quality paper, signed and [...]

Jessie Ford prints at Unlimited Editions

  I think it’s fair to say I love everything about Unlimited Editions, so I was ultra-excited when they tipped me off about these new prints from artist Jessie Ford. I can’t decide which of these is my favourite. At first, I thought it was the bear on a teensy tricycle, then the elephant with [...]

First Look: LulaBunny clocks by Lulabird

March 24, 2011 by · Leave a Comment 

For months we’ve been pestering Louise, the creator of retro inspired design brand Lulabird, because we’ve been eager to find out what she’d follow up her smash hit launch collection of clocks and wall art featuring owls, whales, blooms and ‘MooseBoy’ with. Finally it’s time to show off her LulaBunny clocks in bang on trend [...]

Much as I love some of the prints out there that are designed especially for kids, there’s a lot to be said for widening your horizons a little when it comes to artwork for the children’s bedroom, and taking a look at some of the art that is just…well, art. For everyone. For starters, you [...]

Go Confidently prints

January 7, 2011 by · 1 Comment 

Hot on the heels of Kat’s fabulous Let’s Have Fun Today print find, I had to share these little gems from Australian illustrators Mara and Nicholas Girling, aka Printspace. We love a mantra here at BG and this quotation from Henry Thoreau is certainly something to aspire to no matter what age you are. Printspace’s [...]

In the gloomy days of Winter when Spring seems so far away I need a little reminder that sunshine comes from within. So when I spotted this print by Steph Baxter on Print & Pattern I barely hesitated before buying. I’m going to hang it in the playroom and treat it as our manifesto. £9 [...]

Anthony Burrill prints

September 10, 2010 by · 1 Comment 

I am completely head over heels in love with Anthony Burrill‘s posters featuring woodblock-printed aspirational slogans on recycled paper, signed by the artist. I think that Make Your Mark in the World and Think of Your Own Ideas in particular would make fabulously unusual artworks for a child’s rooms. And, at £33.50 each, including p&p, [...]
