In my want-to-but-can't traveling state, I can easily identify with Jennifer Hill's Places I Have Never Been collection where she takes a city she's never been and develops a pattern for it, using the pattern in fun prints, calendars , a…
There's a place for tradition, and there's a place for innovation, and there is a place for both side by side. Sub-Studio design's new nursery rhyme prints are a perfect combination of age-old nursery rhymes from past generations and a b…
There aren't too many pink posters I'd hang in my daughters' post-feminist non-pink bedroom, but artist and graphic designer Robin Rosenthal's counting bird poster would easily make the cut. When we first found her original counting bird…
Now that I've put my foot down on the whole no-DVD-in-the-car thing (the same way Liz had mentioned earlier this week), I better have something to keep my three occupied on long road trips. So along with all the great kids' music we play…
I don't have a lot of hand painted art on my walls, especially in the nursery. But I can easily change that with Brooklyn-based Rebekah Potter's diminutive BloKs , essentially 3.5 x 5" wooden blocks with a word and matching illustration,…
"Recycled art" sounds like something my kids create with egg cartons and paper towel rolls, but in the case of Dolan Geiman's Panel Paintings , it means something much cooler. Using recycled wood panels, non-toxic, water-based textile in…
Because I'm skeptical of anything that yells AS SEEN ON TV! at me, I admit my initial thought was oh no...what kind of toxic garbage are those pipe cleaner looking Bendaroos (warning - loud sound when you click over) made out of? The ans…
With two craft-loving girls, I have enough kids' art supplies in my home to start a small store. That said, I have never seen anything like the adorable set of paint-your-own nesting dolls from Kookle and know my kids would go ga-ga over…
Frankly, I'm not certain I'm actually cool enough for this Alphabet Learning Poster , but let's just say I desperately want to be. What's not to like about an alphabet where L is for Love, X is for Malcolm, and Z is for Zeitgeist? Oh, an…
I like doing crafts with my daughter , but usually one of two things happens: either the craft I come up with is lame (like taping purple things to a piece of paper and writing purple at the top) or the sites I visit for inspiration assu…
Call me a total dork, but I get all teary and melty every time my three year-old hugs one of her friends goodbye. There's is something beyond adorable about two little girls squeezing each other tight-- and anyone who disagrees has a hea…
Just when I think there can't possibly be any more ways to make animals into wall art that make me want another baby purely for the decorative accessories, someone goes and proves me wrong. This time it's Milk Moon Kids , purveyors of li…
My daughter is an art fanatic , and would paint until she was blue in the face. Funny, she's actually done that, with blue hands, arms, clothes...you get the picture. She's a four-year-old with paints. So when she tried Mahar Dry Goods' …
We love helping our readers discover cool and unusual kid stuff, but we love it even more when they return the favor. Especially when it's something as cool as the ABC Helvetica Film Poster. Many parents put up sweet ABC art in a nursery…
So you want a canvas or two for baby's room, and you're trying to figure out something bright and colorful, with animals, that doesn't look like the circus threw up on your walls. Leave it to Tiny Decor to find just the right mix of mod …
My daughters draw the cutest things: Stick-figure women in triangle dresses, bulgy-eyed cats and larger-than-life flowers. Nothing could improve on what they dream up which is why I love artist Carla Sonheim's new coloring book simply ca…
Ever been tempted to rip the pages out of your kids' books and hang them on the wall? Is that only me? Oops. I'm tempted by every single framable children's book illustration by illustrator Adam Record of Fall Down Tree , a man so cool a…
ABC posters are pretty much the quintessential nursery decor, but that's not to say it's easy to find a cool one. I mean, enough with the A is for apple already, right? So I was happy to discover two cool new modern ABC posters : One fro…
With my kids becoming more territorial about their things, I can only imagine the fights that I'm going to have to mediate courtesy of Santa this year. So I'm thinking about preparing in advance for once, and snatching up a personalized …
If you're a sleek-lines-and-minimal-fluff sort of a mom, you'll want to check out Nashville artist Michalle Sessions' gorgeously simplistic prints for your progeny's room via her shop, LJ Ink . From the red-sock-wearing giraffe and monke…
Art Kristen : My son's walls are decked out in Avalisa art (at top) and we both couldn't be happier. Her modern designs and custom color combos were a no-brainer. Liz : Ida Pearle's custom alphabet prints are so charming, they're fast be…
Today I was so desperate for a new project to pull the tiny whiners off my knees that I gave them a huge cardboard box and some Sharpies. They ended up just stomping on the bubble wrap inside, much to my headache's eternal sadness. But i…
My nephew was hospitalized at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia when he was around two and I am forever grateful to the amazing staff who helped cure him -- and to all of the special facilities that help children. I guess that's wh…
Of course every parent thinks every scribble their child does is a collectible masterpiece, but in the case of the Coloring Can Be Funny coloring book, I think it's kinda true. Talented, ?ber-hip artist, S. Britt, turned a bunch of his w…
