IDEO web color visualizer
I guess this IDEO Web Color Visualizer has been around for a while. Still worth a post, could come in handy someday.

simple graphic Ipod / Cell Phone Holders
Aster & Sage is a small company with a very big idea – recycling materials (fabric scraps, soda bottles, etc) and creating striking, eco-friendly modern accessories for women and home – handbags, eyeglass cases, ipod bags and more. I like these simple, bold Ipod/Cell Phone Holders

Typography for Children
Most children learn to read going letter-by-letter, learning which sounds go with which shapes until they can blend the sounds together to form words. This is why new readers proceed slowly and sometimes struggle with pronunciation and syllable stress.
The efforts of new readers can be supported by making sure their texts use inviting, easy-to-read typefaces, set in the most readable way.

So Young, and So Gadgeted
EVERYONE knows that babies crawl before they walk, and that tricycles come before two-wheelers. But at what age should children get their first cellphone, laptop or virtual persona? These are new questions being faced by 21st-century parents, and there is no wisdom from the generations for guidance. You can’t exactly say to your teenager, “When I was a boy, I didn’t have an unlimited texting plan until I was in high school.”
So Young, and So Gadgeted, by Warren Buckleitner

playhouse
Playhouse is intended to stimulate creativity in young minds. The idea is for children to use a few basic components to construct new urban and rural landscapes. Two stylised forms, the red cottage and grey skyscraper function as a framework for the buildings with the sound-absorbent mat acting as a soft foundation of green lawns and grey roads.

Swiss Favorite Pastime: Recycling
This post over at swissstoryblog had me look. Last summer in Switzerland, I showed G the recycling station in the town I grew up in, Speicher. It’s impressivly clean and well designed. I wish recycling was more engrained into people’s DNA here in NYC. Still can’t believe people throw batteries into the regular garbage here. Swiss Favorite Pastime: Recycling.
(The picture above shows a recycling station in St.Gallen, Switzerland. The goal, making recycling fun for kids, is fully achieved!)
