(via The Kid Should See This)
La Linea
I watched Heidi on Netflix with my kids the other night, which they loved. It made me go down memory lane of shows and movies I used to watch as a kid. This one, La Linea is one I looked forward to every week. It is an Italian animated series created by the cartoonist Osvaldo Cavandoli. What are some of the shows you remember fondly from when you were a kid?
Here We Are
Here We Are is Oliver Jeffers’ latest picture book. It’s gloriously beautiful. In the heart. If you have a little one, buy one. His books are my kids’ favorites.
This Photoshoot!
The idea of a fashion brand having kids model their grown-up clothes is all kinds of fantastic. Love these photos!
A-Z Printing Set
Make a poster using these old printing sets which have never been used. Each set consists of the full alphabet in lower, or upper, case. The plastic blocks have a foam letter applied to them, which can be dipped into paint.
Jim Henson: How To Make Puppets with Socks
A young Jim Henson teaches you how to make puppets with socks, tennis balls and other household goods.
Our President Was Called Barack
A book for kids that tells the story of Barack Obama and how kids can follow his example to be kind and make change. This Kickstarter by Laura Olin gets my support.
Benjamin Brush
You are looking at a mighty adorably looking toothbrush that comes with an integrated speaker and music store. Choose a song, and it’ll play for two minutes- the recommended amount of time to get those teeth clean. My kids would approve of Benjamin Brush. Get one by pledging over on Kickstarter.
Common Sense Media
Under what rock was I hiding all this time that I have never heard of Common Sense Media? I told my friends that I made the mistake of showing my kids a movie the other day that I thought was perfectly fine for their age. It wasn’t. Ops!
Common Sense Media looks like the site I should have consulted first.
Unicorn Zip & Flip Pillow
This lightweight unicorn shaped pillow unzips and flips into a travel neck pillow. So fun!
Mod Florals
I am loving the new Mod Floral Tattly Set by Inaluxe.
Wishbone 3-in-1 Bike
My kids are too big for this 3-in-1 bike at this point, but I would definitely get one if they weren’t.
Transparent Rain Boots
As if the idea of transparent rain boots wasn’t hilarious enough, the Bobo Choses’ product photography is really next level. Hat tip!
Playfully Interactive Paper Toys
Love these animated paper puppets by Japanese designer Haruki Nakamura.
A Domino Machine
This wooden domino row building machine made my kids and my day!
Sardine Feeding Frenzy
Nature is remarkable.
Galaxy Lolipops
These 10 lollipops are completely edible and include photographic reproductions of various galaxies. Wow.
Space Station Street View
The International Space Station is now on Google Street View. My head just exploded. This is so cool!

Alpha build
If my kids were still little, I would totally get these magnetic Alphabuild blocks.
