Funky Lunch Book – Caterpillars and more
Check out this adorable caterpillar lunch idea. It’s just one of many from this super-creative book by Mark Northeast called Funky Lunch: Happy Food for Happy Children.
Plus, he has a new book out now called Funky Party: Party Food for Happy Children. And it, as you may have guessed, adorable party food ideas for kids. Including another awesome caterpillar that caught my eye. I think I might just need to have a “Very Hungry Caterpillar” party some day!

Recent explorations for an area rug for my little one yielded a new discovery… Interactive activity rugs for kids! Here are the best ones I stumbled on:

Personalized Cupcake Designs
Cake Sugar Designs has some way nifty technology which lets you come up with personalized cupcake designs which they print out using edible “ink” and mail to you. Then you just peel off the edible designs and lay them on your cupcakes. Sweet! And, well, sweet!
Bunny Butt Spats
OK, at $65 for a pair of toddler pants this might be a little out of most people’s budget but… but… but… just look how cute!
You can buy them here and look at other clothes by Miki House (of Japan) at ForestAndZoe.com.
Japanimal posters!
Decorate your kid’s room in style and teach them some Japanese with these adorable and striking posters by Familytree. The posters feature the Japanese words for snow monkey, koi fish, fox and white tiger. This Japanimals series is just one of many lines of awesome poster series by Familytree. (via ohdeedoh)

A monster-themed suitcase that’s both adorable, practical and an actually fun way to get your kids through the harrowing airport process. Brilliant! You can find these lots of places including Amazon.

On your next trip to the beach, there’s no reason to dress your baby in boring old water shoes anymore. Available in sizes 0-3 mos to 6-12 mos. Find ’em at The Gap.

They Might Be Giants – Why Does the Sun Shine?
Oh how I love this video. It’s crafty, it’s science-y, it’s educational, it’s adorable. It’s from the CD/DVD called Here Comes Science by They Might Be Giants.
