Once in a while a new toy or a new clothing line comes along that makes my heart beat a little faster. This is one of those times. How beautiful is that kids stamp set and this jungle puzzle. I’m already a big fan of wooden toys especially when they are kept in their natural state. Called Bleebla and created by a pair of architects from Portugal, this is their first collection of toys with a jungle theme. They plan to release more wooden toys all with a wildlife theme including sea life, forest and field. In our home stamp sets are very popular not just with Anya but with her friends too (and maybe even me :)) and this one with 10 animal stamps would go down a treat!

A kids stamp kit to wow
June 6, 2012
We’re big fans of kids stamp kits in this house especially since my 3 year old daughter can entertain herself for ages with her stamps. We’ve got a couple of lovely sets so I thought we were all kitted out but now I’ve seen this new Japanese stamp kit and it’s love. It’s unlike any other stamp set I’ve seen before and the possibilities of creating beautiful designs with this set look endless.
The stamp kit includes everything you need to make hand stamps or roller stamps and also includes 35 pattern ideas to start you off and then you can go on to create your own original patterns. The stamps would be great for making your own wrapping paper and cards and even artworks for your kids rooms but best of all, it’s just great for letting kids express their own creativity.
This kit is the creation of Torafu Architects of Tokyo but you can buy it over at Upon a Fold (one of my favourite paper boutiques) where I found them. It’s out of stock at the moment but more are coming soon. I am a huge fan of Japanese designed goodies because just like this kit, you always get something unique, beautiful and very desirable.
Update August 2014: Very sadly, Upon a Fold no longer exists.
Rubber stamp sets to wow
September 5, 2011
When I came across Tara Hogan’s shop I was smitten. Rubber stamp sets don’t usually have that effect on me but these ones are oh so lovely. On offer are a range of beautiful animal stamp sets including a safari one, an elephant one and the cutest ‘darling dachshund’ one. Just check out the boots on that dachshund! Also on offer is a ‘Day in Paris’ set which is adorable too. But it’s not just the stamp sets that I’m excited about, it’s the lovely packaging too. Little match box like cardboard boxes with a ribbon to open them is what you get. Every detail in these sets has been injected with beautiful little touches. While these stamp sets are perfect for kids, I don’t think I could resist having a go myself. To check out Tara Hogan’s beautiful rubber stamp sets head to her etsy store. The sets cost from $18 and shipping is worldwide.
