There are six in total, featuring cats, mice, elephants, butterflies and seals in a pink, yellow, green and orange palette. They are $12 each (plus $7 p&p to the UK) or you can buy the set of six for $60, saving [...]

Minkee prints

If there were any room left on the walls in Alfie’s room, I’d be buying pretty much everything illustrator Minkee has drawn – I love the simple, bold designs and block tones. The set of three animal gocco prints, above, £32, is too cute for words (I’m particularly enamoured with the tiger) and the haughty [...]

New gorgeousness at Peagreen

Our very own Kat first put me onto Hampshire-based design consultancy Peagreen and I’ve been a massive fan ever since. Their collection of limited-edition prints are not only outstandingly original, but extremely well-priced, at £45 each. The latest additions to the online shop blew me away, so I had to share a few with you. [...]

Cushions & Affordable Artwork by Jessica Graham

I met young designer Jessica Graham back in the autumn Top Drawer, the retail trade show, and was instantly enamoured by her offbeat, vibrant cushions and artwork that actually went on to win Best New Child Children’s Product at the show. Influenced by spending her early childhood in Asia and her travels abroad teaching in [...]

Hot Kids Artwork from ‘Made By’ Showler & Showler AND win a canvas & greeting cards worth £99.95

Longtime BG readers may be looking at these fantastic illustrations and thinking that the style is vaguely familiar and that’s because the design duo behind these fabulous canvases, Showler & Showler, are also the peeps that designed cool store Lula Sapphire’s catalogue and logo. Seriously swoon central, under their ‘Made By’ moniker, they’ve designed a [...]

Rainbow Alphabet

Soon there won’t be room on the nursery walls for any more animal alphabets, but until that day I’ll just keep on snapping them up. My latest discovery is this giclee print of whimsical creatures by Katy Holmes (no, not that one, she’s probably too busy with Scientology to be an illustrator) which also has [...]

Cheeky artwork for kids by Stinky Whizzers

Their collection of posters and canvases are animated, vibrant illustrations full of cheeky characters mixed with an educational element. From [...]

Bold & Noble Mammals Print

I’ll readily admit to having a fetish for Bold & Noble’s strikingly modern screen prints – their Creatures A-Z was the first artwork I bought for our nursery (having cunningly persuaded Jane to make it in Poppy Red for me), closely followed by Birds Around Britain in Azure Blue. They look fabulous in pale wooden [...]

The latest issue has decoration ideas incorporating buttons including the [...]

Cissy Cook Personalised Artworks for Children

I stumbled across the work of Cissy Cook via Whole Lotta Lovely recently and was in instant awe of these fab-u-lous Name Boxes. Each box is an original hand crafted work of art with the images and lettering mounted at different levels. She uses vintage images and colourful silhouettes with classic type faces to create [...]

Hot Trend: Dachshunds

Like owls, dachshunds are huge news for kids’ products. We’ve already featured Offi’s MyPetLamp Dachshund Light – here are a few more of our favourite buys.
