the land of puppies and unicorns

What color will it be?  Avery was so excited to find out which colors her puppy and unicorn would be--it was a total surprise since they each came sealed in a bag.  These glossy creatures are perfect for kids who love balloon animals because they never lose air or pop!  This bucket o' blocks provided a perfect whimsical terrain that these two new adventure-seeking best buds explored together before nap time.

Thanks to The Land of Nod for sending the Bucket O' Blocks and the Pop! Mini Series.

Soopsori is a collection of handmade toys that exude beauty and simplicity.  The toys are made of wood and are finished with linseed oil, making them environmentally-friendly and child-safe.

We picked up Soopsori’s Wooden Push Car and Wooden Rattle Block set at Emmo Home, a local design store.

The artist behind Soopsori is Lee Chul Soo.  According to Soopsori’s website, “Living with his wife on a small farm in rural Korea, Lee Chul Soo grows most of his own food, writes poetry, and makes his prints by hand in the traditional way.”  We love to see artists working in traditional methods.  These are well-crafted toys that will definitely be passed on to future generations in our family!
