Here are some more of our favourite picks from today at Kids Instyle. I have also updated the opening night post with information about each brand.
The toys at Earth Tribe are gorgeous. All toys are hand made and crafted by tribes and communities around the world.
One of my all-time favourite products, the Milkdot lunch bag … [Read more.]
Like thousands of mums across the country, my heart skipped a beat when it was revealed almost three years ago that a certain range of very popular wooden trains had been contaminated with lead paint. I remember trawling through my train-addicted two-year-old son’s toy box to remove every suspect engine while thanking my lucky stars … [Read more.]
I’m not sure I can go on without owning one of these delightful handmade dollies. Each has its own very individual character and the humour is written all over each sweet little face.
Two hundred and fifty exclusive brands came together in late January at the stunning Playtime Paris trade show. This fair was a Babyologist’s dream, packed to the rafters with the most beautiful baby, child and maternity accoutrement in the world.
It happened 20 years ago but I still remember my mother sitting on my childhood bed telling me every emotion I felt was valid. It remains one of the best things she could have done for me and I grew up not being ashamed to voice my loneliness or fears.

Straight from the ‘Damn, I wish I’d known about this before I had my baby’ files is this ingenious idea from My Brood.

Bold geometrics are big in this home, so it’s little wonder the goodies from Noon Softspace have struck a chord. The philosophy behind this Swiss brand is to look at everyday objects with new eyes, making them softer and more accessible for little ones.
Herman Miller never fails to come up with something rivetingly different. To quote Charles Eames: “Toys are not really as innocent as they look. Toys and games are preludes to serious ideas.”. This is a philosophy the team at Herman Miller hold dear to the heart – play is the inspiration behind many of its … [Read more.]
Well the holiday season is almost upon us which means it’s time to start looking for the perfect stocking fillers and I think I’ve found it with Oeuf. Hand-knitted in Bolivia, you can count on these goodies not being in every other sack in the neighbourhood – so you’ll earn extra points for gifts with … [Read more.]
The shelves in the handcraft section of my local bookshop are groaning under the weight of all those craft projects waiting to happen. Much like cookbooks for me, if handcrafts are your scene, then you can never have too many books. Even if you don’t actually use them, looking through books is enough to provide inspiration, … [Read more.]
