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!

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!

Love these animated paper puppets by Japanese designer Haruki Nakamura.

Sardine Feeding Frenzy

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!

These Balloon Animals are nothing short of breathtaking.
Wood + Rope Tree Swing
My kids look at this simple tree swing and see happiness.
The Creature Garden
The Creature Garden App by Tinybop is delightful. It lets you create incredible, fantastical creatures with 100s of different hooves and horns, wings and beaks, paws and claws, and more. So much fun!
