Spiders, Ants, Worms, Oh My! - Paper Craft Insect Magic

SunnyChanel — Thu, 14 May 2009 17:30:00 GMT

Spiders, ants, worms, oh my! But no need to run and hide. These insects are made of plain old paper. But not just plain, rather beautifully printed paper that can become three-dimensional bugs with a little cutting, folding and gluing magic. Hartia Toys created this set of twelve insects meant for ages six and up. You can pick up these little buggers here for $15.99. And if you aren’t fond of insects you can instead pick up mammals, exotic birds, ocean creatures or maybe some veggies.

Decorate one side of this bunny with a message or any drawing you want!

Sold at Etsy, Milo the Color-in Easter Bunny comes with three fabric markers.

Just personalize it and let the ink dry for 5 days. The fabric is pre-washed and no ironing is needed.

It’s $21 and I think a great idea as an Easter gift!

SunnyChanel — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 18:36:00 GMT

In San Francisco's MIssion District, there is a little liquor store called Pride Superette where a gigantic rubber band ball resides. It’s probably about four feet in diameter. You have to carefully navigate around this quest for Guinness Book of World Records fame to get to the cash register.

Now you can strive for your own quest for super star balldom, or to make a ball to just to play with, using the Band Buddies – Make Your Own Rubber Band Ball Kit which you can pick for $6.95 here.

Etsy Alert: Thar She Blows!

Whales are cute. Well, actually I think their size doesn’t so much jive with ‘cute’, perhaps that isn’t the right word for man’s biggest mammal pal. Let’s call them ‘cool’ instead. And speaking of cool, this hoodie with a bright green whale appliqué for infants and kids, will totally put a smile on your and your kids face. Perhaps a grin as wide as the whale itself dons. Smiles all around! $38 here.

Picnic Table Craft Table From P'Kolino

Chris Ford — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 23:08:00 GMT

We've written before about the kids funiture from P'Kolino, and now they've got a new activity table for kids that matches the rest of their collection. It looks fun and modern, but is a picnic-bench type of table best for you?

I can imagine this type of table being perfect for some playrooms. In apartments or other places where space is at a premium, this might be the perfect solution. But in my house, one of the best aspects of the activity table is my kids can take the chairs and move them around. Not to mention the fact that I've sat down at the table once or twice myself. Plus, with the bench attached to the table, it would have been hard for my youngest to get to the table with her sister when she was learning to walk.

But either way, if you're shopping for a play table for your kids this one is worth checking out.

P'Kolino Craft Table, $129 from Design Public.

Little Black Cowgirl Boots. Uh, I Mean, Booties.

Chris Ford — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 20:53:00 GMT

Apparently not everything at the you-craft-it-we-sell-it web site Etsy involves crocheting or knitting needles. Check out these little boots for your brand new cowgirl.

These cowgirl booties are made of black vinyl with white stitching and embroidered red hearts on the toes. They'll fit up to 3 to four months and look like they'd make a pretty cute gift for the right baby. No boy versions available though, but I'm guessing baby cowboy booties for boys might be easier to find.

Baby Cowgirl Booties, $25 from seller "Gabbos" at Etsy.com.

Hand Made: Sock Monkey Kit for the Crafty Kids Among Us

chrisjordan — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 15:35:00 GMT

Do you have kids who love crafts yet find yourself with none of the items they desire? Or else do they make something so laden with glitter, glue and macaroni that you find yourself almost immediately wondering how long you have to keep it before it can be stored in that big black can outside? I know that can't just be me.

Here is a perfect present for this holiday season, kits come with everything necessary to make a sock monkey, except the crafty gene and are available at Spinning Monkeys for $10.
