Much of this clock’s decorative theme is based around that of playing cards which are central to the story of Alice and her adventures in a fantasy world filled with all sorts of anthropomorphic creatures. One of the most well-known characters Alice comes across is the Queen of Hearts who is a decidedly foul-tempered monarch and is the wife of the King of Hearts. In the story, playing cards are seen marching in procession in the Queen’s croquet ground and are themes seen elsewhere in the story.

This beautiful alarm features a classic artistic representation of Alice as seen in the original books. Surrounding the adventurous little girl are a series of rotating playing cards of all varieties which fly over the clock’s numerals. These add a dynamic twist to the clock and bring a touch of magic to the scene. The alarm clock has a snooze alarm which can make waking up a little less dramatic … or for many of us sleepyheads, less traumatic. A light makes it easy to see in the dark. The decorative nature of the clock makes it ideal for a child’s bedside table or alternatively as a nostalgic time piece for adults who were brought up on the story of Alice and her adventures when children themselves.

Included in the 8-piece set are items that all Jewish families will be familiar with in relation to Rosh HaShanah. They are as follows: 2 candles, a wine goblet, a platter, 2 Challas (round loaves which are symbolic of the cycle of the year), an apple and a honey jar (apple slices dipped in honey represent hope for a sweet new year), and a shofar. The latter item, the shofar, is a very important symbol of Rosh Hashanah and is a widely recognised image of Judaism as well. The ram’s horn and is blown one hundred times during each of the two days of Rosh HaShanah and is to remind people of the importance of reflection during this important holiday.

For children, it is wise to introduce customs and traditions in a fun and memorable way. Kids react best to colourful items and pictures rather than black and white text. This colourful Rosh Hashanah set made from wood allows a child to take part in the New Year events in their own special and unique way as they learn more and more about the Yamim Nora’im. The set is made to be played with but also looks attractive in a decorative way. This means it can be presented on a table or shelf when not in use and act as a visual reminder to the rest of the family of the importance of this time of year.

Most of us are familiar with the stories of the monster in the loch in the Scottish highlands. Few people have seen the mysterious beast but it has gained a reputation to rival that of Nepal’s Yeti and America’s Bigfoot. Owing to the Loch Ness Monster’s famous shape as seen from supposed photographs, the long and curved neck has been a catalyst for a variety of designs, most notably children’s toys and accessories.

These Kid’s LED table lamps with furry covers are a rather delightful take on the Scottish legend. The neck’s are perfectly bendable and can be twister and turned in a multitude of directions. Whether for homework or for accent lighting, the adjustable lamps are a super way to brighten up a child’s bedroom or study area. The LED lights are also capable of changing color which further adds to the ambiance which can be achieved with these Nessie table lamps.

If you want to improve and develop your children’s spacial awareness, then I definitely recommend purchasing a similar set of playing blocks to the ones pictured. These were designed by Michelle Kaufmann and her husband for a friend’s baby. Each piece was made from reclaimed wood and crafted in their own wood shop. Various types of wood were used including cherry, white oak, wenge and purple heart. These were then sanded and finished with natural oils.

You might be familiar with those traditional wooden puzzles which come in small boxes. The ones where you have to fit together the pieces so as they fit snugly in a container. Well, this set is very similar. All the pieces, if placed in the correct combination, will fit perfectly into their translucent container box. This allows for further educational and spacial training as well as just plain fun.

The set reminds me of a table-top cathedral game I have made from similar types of wood. That involves placing together wooden blocks in the shapes of Medieval English buildings into a certain sized flat square board, with unmovable city walls on each of the four sides. That gave my father and I much merriment and frustration when I was a teenager.

I’ve featured this particular set because I believe it will give you inspiration to perhaps make your own set, if you are talented with your hands or purchase a similar style of building blocks which can also act as decorative features in a kid’s room or living room.

I’m sure most of you remember seeing patchwork quilts as a child, whether your own or on your grandparent’s bed. Many Americans also delight in making their own if gifted with their fingers and a thread. An alphabet quilt like the one in the picture is perfect for a child just learning their ABCs and numbers. Throughout the day, a parent can casually ask the child to recite the letters, whether just before bedtime in a sing-song or in the morning before school whilst getting dressed.

A child’s subconscious mind will also see the alphabet more often, naturally being attracted to the pretty colors and patterns, thereby aiding memory retention. It’s also well known that during sleep, kid’s memories are incubated and strengthened, so seeing the quilt just before bedtime will also be a bonus.

A kid’s quilt can be put in multiple types of location. The bedroom is the most obvious location as a piece of bedding but it can also be used to adorn a wall. During the colder months, a child can use it to snuggle up in whilst watching television in the living room as well. It can even be used as a rug.

You can buy this quilt from the following location: Kid’s Colorful ABC Alphabet Quilt.

This kid’s kitchen play set is almost too good to be put in the possession of children. The decoration is extremely beautiful and could be used as a purely decorative item in a child’s bedroom or even the sun room.

Little girls can boys can cook on the pretend stove and after their pretend dinner, wash the dishes in the steel sink with pretend water that will never be too hot. In the cabinets there is enough room to store all sorts of pretend food, supplies and kitchen utensils.

This kid’s kitchen play set is a limited edition. Each set has been individually hand crafted and hand painted meaning a lot of care has been put into the creation of each one. I’m not sure how much longer this kitchen set will be available but at the time of writing it cost $200.
