Itty Bitty Project

The folks of Kiss Me I am Polish took a refreshing stab at kids t-shirts. The result? Itty Bitty Project, a t-shirt series that lets the kids customize their tee. I love the idea, but am afraid the pieces will be lost in no time. But hey, I might be wrong!

Streamliner Yellow Taxi

I am pretty sure my 2 year old, Tilo, would approve of this modern yellow taxi by Playsam.

Chinese Checkers

I have such good memories of playing Chinese Checkers when growing up. I bought this beautiful wooden version from the Land of Nod for the holidays. Looking forward to playing it again.

Unicorn Hooded Towel

One of the most amazing things I have seen at the Etsy Holiday Shop today was this Unicorn Hooded Towel. How can you start your day with a bad mood if you dry yourself off with this in the morning? Impossible!

Kids Sized Shopping Cart

This real kids sized shopping cart is the cutest thing. My kids love it.

Just launched: Tattly Gift Site

For the past few months my team has been working hard on a brand new gifting site for Tattly. And today’s the day, we finaly launched gift.tattly.com. All of our gift items will conveniently live at one place where it’s simple to purchase, ship and send a little handwritten note to anyone in the world. My team thought of everything and even made it easy to ship to multiple people at different addresses in a single transaction.

You can now get gift cards, choose between three gift sets and the 6-month-Tattly-subscription is finally back!

A big thank you to Yoko for the design, Rusty for concepting and managing the project, Oak for building the site and to Julia for her photomagic.

Let us know what you think: gift.tattly.com

Advent Calendar

This minimal advent calendar is after my own heart. It lets you write a daily note to the recipient. Love it.

Perfect Travel Pillow

I believe I just found the perfect (and most adorable) kid’s travel pillow. It’s by Bla Bla Kids.

(I realize this has been around for a while, no need to tell me it’s not new!)

This Moose Belongs To Me

Whenever Oliver Jeffers publishes a new children’s book, I get giddy. This Moose Belongs to Me will certainly be found under our christmas tree. (The Incredible Book Eating Boy is one of our family favorites.)

White Balancing Blocks

Who said building blocks are just for kids?

Cloudy

“Cloudy” is an adorable short by artists Samuel Borkson and Arturo Sandoval III of FriendsWithYou. Yes, my cloud obsession is still going strong.

Balloon Rocket

This weekend, I will be making Balloon Rockets with my kids. You can find more projects like this over on Toys from Trash by Arvin Gupta.

Potato Stamps

Martin Schmid, Art School Teacher at Schule für Gestaltung in St.Gallen, Switzerland sent me the above image of type potato stamps he did with his students. Each student did two letters. It put a big smile on my face and yes, I am totally going to do this with Ella.

Muppet Wiki

Ok, my day is shot, I just discovered the Muppet Wiki.

Tree of Ideas

I stumbled upon this Tree of Ideas over on Etsy. What a lovely idea! Would love to create one for my kids.

Robot Headphone Splitter

This must be the cutest headphone splitter roaming mother earth.

(Thanks Kevin)

Hey handy parents, this is a post for you. How seriously adorable is this modern looking ride on toy that I spotted over on Made My Joel!? Totally going to ask G to build one for little Tilo.

Your people / My people

This shirt and its message made me smile.

Tinybop, the blog. Follow it!

The story of a dad sending his son’s favorite train car into the stratosphere. What a seriously cool dad.

Tattly Halloween Give Away

What would you say if told you that you could get 50 Halloween Tattlys for free? Starting now, every day this week, we will be giving away 100 sets of 50 limited edition Halloween Candy Tattly, designed by Julia Rothman. Hand them out on Halloween and make the kids run around with joy! Totally dentist approved!

(Unfortunately this is for US residents only. My apologies to people outside the US.)

Maily

Maily is an email app for little kids that let’s them draw/write a message and then send it to a selected group of family members and friends. Cute idea. And most of all, the name Maily makes me smile.

Totally love these simple little houses.
