Tweeted about this yesterday, but knowing not everyone is part of the bird world, I figure I'd share it here as well. Great for a rainy day at home with the kids, all you need is a printer, paper, glue stick, ruler, scissors - and you've got yourself a totally lovable boredom-buster. Wise Guys, from Mibo
Feast your eyes on this birds nest play space! I'm envisioning it as a whimsical reading zone...

Good looking tableware for kids from Kidishes. Durable, tempered glass in simplistic clean-kitchen design (sure trumps plastic disney princess prints!). Gotta hand it to 'em for the cute video...made me smile. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOuaGSsPYpE&feature=player_embedded
My husband came back from working on a project a while ago, and brought home a hardly used, broken computer keyboard. He said the guys were recycling them at this office he was working with, and he said he'd take one home to reporpose as a toy for his daughter to play with. He unscrewed the wire slot, removed the wiring and screwed it back in place. I cloroxed the thing (office germs are the worst!), and Freida woke up to a usually totally tabooed toy! She was so excited that she was allowed to slam the keys by herself while I left her alone to explore. Of course, we all know that they do in fact know the difference --- and she still loves the special skype moments with Bubby whilst I let her bang on the real thing, but you'd be surprised at how happy she is when I set her up with her keyboard in her stroller/high chair next to her Daddy on the computer... total time killer! ; )
Okay, I will admit right off the bat, I have a thing for lunch bags/boxes. But seriously, these totally adorable mod designs from Dabbawalla definitely make it to the top of my list. A roomy bag for the lunch, plus an upper zippered compartment for adding an ice pack if necessary, extra gear/supplies/accessories, or for keeping the sandwich smash-free. Made of the greatest fabric ever (okay, I have a thing for neoprene as well) durable, stain-resistant, and machine washable! Check out the rest of them here.
