We don’t care if it’s winter or summer, these European baby sleeping baggies are just too cute to keep to ourselves. We also don’t care that we happen to have no babies around, we bought these just to adore and to play dress-up with our teddy bears. But for the rest of you who actually like to buy these for real babies, we have good news. They are now available for purchase. We are right now gearing up to get ready to launch our online store with the rest of our collection, but with winter still around in some parts of the world, we thought it best to offer these to you now. Available in black only. And two sizes: 3 to 6 months and 6 to 12 months. Price: $225, including delivery.

It is tough not to adore much of the wonderful, yet often high-priced, kiddie fashion and baby stuff offered at designer shops. Of course, at the other end of the spectrum, there are the truly hideous knitted and crocheted craft-fair rejects that also pose as “cute for kids.” Somewhere in the middle are a few companies that select items that are hand-made — or at least look it — and cute, yet manage to be fun and fashionable, too. One of these is blabla in Atlanta, Georgia. We love their international animal tees and the colorful Peruvian knits but the one item that we are ordering in multiples, is the knitted cotton backpack. That there isn’t a kid in our team here, is beside the point. It says “ages 3 AND UP” on the order page, does it not? By Tuija Seipell |
| Kids in The Kitchen |

Aspiring mini-chefs take note: now there’s no excuse not to get the kids involved in the kitchen with this sweet range of kids cookware made specially for little fingers. Created by Melbourne based brand, Little Kitchen, the range will inspire little people everywhere to help mum with dinner. The innovative brand also runs a kids' cooking school from their North Fitzroy retail store in Melbourne, Australia. The space features a custom-built kitchen designed specially for children where kids can learn basic cooking techniques and the joys of cooking with fresh, organic produce. They also hold cooking parties; a great choice for parents looking for interesting (and healthy!) ways to celebrate their little one’s birthday. By Lisa Evans |
| Tear Free Tantrum |

Don't you hate it when you see something and think 'why wasn't this around when I was a kid?'. Tantrum is the UK's first dedicated children's hairdressing company and has just launched their first of many salons on the oh-so chic Kings Road in London. Catering from newborns to 15 years olds, this is a hairdressing haven for everyone – especially parents who are pretty much guaranteed a tear-free experience. And why would you cry, when you are the hippest kid in hip-town. The salon is separated into two sections. The first, 'Moon' is for children up to the age of 7, and is set in an enchanted forest complete with its own locomotive train that runs around the styling stations. Children get their hair cut in a variety of vehicles from a Mercedes to a plane and also have individual flat screen TV's to keep them entertained. The second zone, 'Vogue' is a bit funkier and is for 7-15 year olds. Looking something like a mix between a pop stars' dressing room and backstage at fashion week, this is sure to bring out the inner diva in any older child. Coupled with a games room housing a huge TV with a Wii/PS3 and their very own juice bar to sit at, your children may never want to leave. What we especially love about Tantrum though (and yes there is more to love), is that to finish off the experience, children can have their photo taken with their new 'do, which is emailed to the parent and displayed on the celebrity wall at the salon ready for the child to sign on their next visit. How cool is that! By Brendan McKnight (spottted by TCH reader -Ned Gammell) |
| E-Glue - Kids Wall Stickers |

We’ve been running into amazing walls recently (not literally, of course, or at least not physically) and this is giving us reassurance that “contractor beige” is not the only wall color imaginable or acceptable. So, you can imagine the grins on our faces when we discovered E-Glue. The 3 month old French based company started by designers who create super-fun wall adhesives for kids rooms. The creative duo create all the illustrations and hand-make all the products. They ship worldwide but we see no reason to spoil the kids with such extravagance. We are ordering some for the office.

| M-Lab |

Forget your traditional definition of an amusement park, Wannado City leaves behind the cotton candy, the solicitors of large stuffed animals, the mindless entertainment and trash. Instead the “city” has redefined child entertainment with aspirational activities, all of which are framed around the question: “What do you wanna do when you grow up?” Wannado City was crafted from the vision of Mexican-born Luis Javier Laresgoiti, who had a eureka moment while watching his daughter “play executive” on his business phone. Laresgoiti, with the backing of several major corporations has crafted a dream world where children are encouraged to take on an adult profession and see where it takes them. The park is located in Sawgrass Mills Mall in Southern Florida.  Each venue has its own concentration, such as the Motorola-sponsored M-Lab that focuses on innovation and invention. The M-Lab turns each visitor is given a white lab coat and transformed into an “M-Ventor.” The children are encouraged to work together on a technology-based game to solve a difficult problem. Once they’ve solved the situation at hand, they’re greeted with a congratulatory “Mission Accomplished” banner. M-Lab however, goes far above and beyond the standard protocol for children’s playthings. The space was designed in collaboration with Motorola and Gensler, a self-proclaimed “global design, planning and strategic consulting firm.” The M-Lab lures passer-bys with its façade – clad in stark aluminum and panelite – which contrasts with the surrounding “quaint village” motif. Inside there are seven chambers, each meticulously designed depending on the room’s task at hand. The end result is a realistic series of rooms that embrace each child’s fantasy of becoming the next influential innovator. By L. Harper |
| It's A Cardboard Cot |
| 2007-04-26 08:00:57 |
|
Here's one for parents nostalgic for the retro art of "customization" - a baby bed made of cardboard that comes with the implicit invitation for creative mums and dads to paint it, graffiti it....um, decoupage it. Delivered plat-packed from France, it's an assemble yourself deal (perfect for the IKEA generation who still think living in a converted warehouse is a groovy idea) and apparently ticks off all safety standards. Until, presumably, a small child decides to suck on it. Cute, simple, chic....and soggy. By Sarah W |
| RAMADA RESORT KARON BEACH, PHUKET (Kids Themed Rooms) |
| 2007-01-24 02:56:40 |
|
Until now, the trend for themed hotel rooms has been limited to boutique and art hotels that are strictly for grown-ups. The recently opened Ramada Resort Karon Beach in Phuket is one of the few that are taking the trend and making it family friendly simply by creating fun and magical themed rooms just for kids. The resort features 14 rooms in three different adventure themes such as the Outer Space Room, the Underwater Room and the Castle Room. These themed rooms are all connected to adult rooms so that the entire family can stay close together and enjoy the amenities of those special rooms. Besides the cute themed decoration, the kids rooms feature play-stations, DVD players and 32" TV. Games and movies are themed as well and specifically chosen for their kid-friendly content. All deluxe rooms and suites are equipped with Kidz-friendly toy boxes, which will keep the kids busy in the evening and during any bad weather spells. Other venues in the hotel are also themed just for kids, including a 1950's style rock & roll diner as its main restaurant, another dining venue called the Magic Castle, which is decorated like a film-set. by Billy T. |

| PONTIKI |
| 2006-09-01 08:43:19 |

Alert: new toy craze approaching. Pontiki - it's Mr Potato head for the noughties. For those of you who don't remember the cult plastic toy, it became a must have for kids who loved creating their own unique Mr Potato heads by choosing his facial features. Pontiki is a cuter and more sophisticated version, which we are predicting will become just as popular with adults as it will with kids. Pontikis little pod bodies (from egg shapes to car shapes) can be customized with hands, legs, eyes, feet that are easily inserted into the multitude of holes on the pod's bodies to create your very own original toy-of-art. by Billy T |
