This is a really cool new item, the Movella coat hooks. The pattern actually makes up a group of cats, although it looks like an abstract image. All the pegs can be moved around the maze over and over again, which is hours of fun for your little ones.
Of course, as well as entertaining your kids in their room for hours, this is also a coat rack. If placed at your toddler's level, it can teach them to hang up their coats as well.
Available from Baby Angels for £27.00 and they ship to Australia.
In December 2006 we featured the Oras Wall Mobiles available only in the USA.
They are now able to ship to Australia for approximately US$20 which is worth the cost. The mobiles are handmade from high density foam - light enough to move with the breeze while casting shadows onto the wall. Simple and lovely. Vilija Marshall, the designer has just released new oval designs to add to the squares and there are even more designs to be released soon. We'll keep you posted when they are released.
I love this unique idea for your nursery - put together a Puzzle Carpet!
If you have a weirdly shaped room or just want something different, we think this carpet would be great. It comes with seven pieces, each of which are 36 cm in diameter. If you have a larger room, you can always buy more. It's available in three different designs: sand, water, and grass. So you can mix and match to make a beach, desert, or whatever you want!
The puzzle carpet allows you to create a landscape of your own and brings in an element of the outside.
Made in Italy and available from Babygeared for US$151 and they can arrange shipping to Australia.
This new style of designer wall art from Dirty Laundry involves creating a story for your children's room and encouraging you to create and design your own decor. What I love about this type of design is the graphics can be removed and reused several times.
Dirty Laundry wall designs include Rocket Dog, Monster Truck and Princess Mimi, and these are also on their designer adults and kids t-shirts that have featured in magazines such as Vogue, Mode and Elle. For Dirty Laundry T-shirts in Australia visit The Hip Infant.
Rocket Dog Story includes 1 spacedog, 2 martian spaceships, 2 yahoos and 118 stars, planets and aliens in various colours & sizes - enough to fill up a large wall space!
Wall decals are sold exclusively at Ekidna Kidswear in Australia for Price: $129.95
These butterfly, fish and saucer wall applications are a great way to brighten up a nursery without resorting to Dora the Explorer or Barbie wallpaper.
A nice idea would be to involve your child in the process by getting them to help paint the applications (which are primed for painting) before you stick them to the wall. And for those of us in rented homes, you could always stick them to cots, cupboards or toy-chests.
