Super cool! My kids would be so excited to have their favorite animal in pillow form....!!
For a bit of history, Ross Menuez's animal pillows & playthings are inspired by Victorian shaped pillows while the graphics are based on the first mass produced images from 19th century illustrations.
The pillows are available in a variety of sizes & pricepoints & a few designs are even available in one pieces & tees. Welcome animal kingdom!
My fav? The fawn, of course.
Shop Ross Menuez!
Opus is brave & daring & a little crazy. And that's why I am in love with their newest Winter '10 Collection. AND because they have such fantastic style for the little ones.
My favorite? The plaid jumpsuit.
Shop Opus!
This week I have some fantastic new clothing collections to share with you, perfect for the cozy layering that fall/winter style requires. Brrr!
Today? Shirin Kids. Shirin blasts their signature imagery with wintery brightness. The Shirin Kids Holiday Collection includes pleated sleeve dresses, ruffled tees & neon barn owls.
I'm loving the contrast of the muted fabrics with bold, bright prints. Hello neon pink!
My favorite piece? The Butterfly Wreath one-piece. So cool.
Hello? Hello?!!
Playing telephone is not only fun for kids... but a learning experience as well.
Supplies:
2 empty, clean tin cans
Something to poke a hole in the tin can (such as a nail & a hammer)
Cotton string at least 1-2 yards long
Paint/decoration
Do:
1. Make sure the tin cans are empty, clean and any metal or sharp bits are... well, not sharp.
2. Poke a hole in the middle of the bottom of the can using an awl or a make-shift awl (strong nail & hammer)
3. Decorate the cans. I spray painted ours yellow. Kids should not spray paint, so using water-based paints or decoupage would also be good options.
4. Once the cans are dry, thread one end of the string through the can (from the outside in) and then make a hefty knot so the string won't escape out the hole. Do this to both ends.
Play:
1. Each kids holds a can, walking far enough apart from each other to pull the string taut.
2. One kid talks into the can, the other kid holds the can up to her ear to listen. Telephone!
3. The key is keeping the string pulled taut.
How does it work?
Happy Friday! Have a wonderful weekend!
