geysertube

I must admit, although a colossal waste of soda, the Geyser Tube was a huge hit. I couldn’t help but wonder if it’d work with plain seltzer. In which case, we could use our beloved Sodastream. If you like bubbly water, you want one, I promise.

Type Chairs

letters1

This great series of 26 typographic chairs was designed by Roeland Otten. I’d love to walk through a room of these with my daughter and have her identify each one.

UPDATE: By crazy coincidence, Tina, at one of our favorite blogs (swiss miss), also posted some great type seating today, check it out.

Sit Spots

zigzign1

I’m digging these seats made of sliced rolls of wool created by Danish designer Lene Frantzen. How beautiful would story time be if each kid had one of these to sit on. Although I must be reading the price wrong, right? They appear to be kee-razy expensive. Maybe there’s a cheaper alternative? Very cool stools too.

Smories

Original stories by charming children. 50 new ones added each month. Hopefully this evolves, it’s a really fun idea. Perhaps the kids could compliment their stories with original drawings so it feels a little less robotic? Of course, reciting their stories from memory would be the best solution, but I probably couldn’t even do that myself.

Seed a Book

I sure wish I had discovered this before our storage space flooded and soaked all our books. Koshi Kawachi creates these beautiful works of living art that I can’t wait to try with my daughter at some point soon. Very cool.
