Play on design

A lover of modern design I had to share this slideshow from glo.
Full of cool designer toys for kids ranging from these Eames blocks ($175 from House Industries). Granted, these sit a little outside of the magic number I'd be prepared to play for blocks but they are beautiful and educational, no?



Then there is this stunning dolls house by Brinca Dada... graded for kids aged 13+ the Emerson house is described as "...perfect home for the modern family." I wish!

This large open plan dolls house has has a living room, kitchen, library/office, master bedroom, bathroom and child's bedroom.

Oh, and the dolls house with floor-to-ceiling windows and extras "including mitered-glass corners, two fireplaces, sliding glass doors, solar panels, and recessed LED lights. Finally, the house is easy on the environment with only non-toxic and lead-free wood stains and paints."

Um, does it come with a view of Sydney Harbour? Please?

Also included are the Muji "City in a Bag" blocks. Which we have, and love. Little O is too small to play with them just yet but our New York, Paris and London cities look gorgeous on her bookshelf.

I originally saw them in an LMNOP magazine - where they featured the "World in a bag"pictured left.

At just $14 a bag they're more than accessible.

Finally, I love the "Chalk it to me" piggy bank (right). $60 from Ladies and Gentlemen

Cool slideshow I thought.

Happy shopping!
