Little Bugs and Little Animals

Artwork for a nursery or kids' rooms isn't always the first thing on your to do list but these prints from Rifle Paper Co. certainly bump it higher on the list. And if you don't know where to start on that new nursery or kids' room use their prints for some fun inspiration.

These bug ones are my favorite - a little nerdy and retro. 

Bug Print - Ant 8"x10"  $24

Bug Print - Ladybug 8"x10" $24

Animal Parade Print 8"x10"  $24

Animal Alphabet Chart 11"x14"  $40

If you don't have a little one in your life, Rifle Paper Co. is still worth a visit for their little old school, little new school stationary, cards, calendars, notepads and invitations. Remember paper and a pen?

Back To School

As a former Brooklynite I'm a big fan of all things Brooklyn but this really caught my eye, a design and art school for kids.

Classes start as early as eighteen months and run up until grade six. Kids are allowed to get messy and make something all their own, at the same time learn about all their senses and get their creative minds going. Check out some of these, obviously brilliant, designs:

Myla, 22 months

Julia, age 7   Robots + Aliens Class

Tiernan, age 10    Product Design Class

Check out more about Brooklyn Design Lab here: www.brooklyndesignlab.org. And if you don't live in Brooklyn (sorry about that), maybe some class descriptions will give you an idea or two for an at home class.
