First Steps #2

 

A while ago I started a new photo feature called First Steps. I thought it would be interesting and fun to turn back the clock and have a look at some of you, my blogging friends, as toddlers. I think I'll make a photo album of you all.

Today I'd like to share a picture of another happy little boy, playing with his helicopter.That's hardly surprising when you know him, he loves toys.
Does he look familiar I wonder?
It's somebody we all love and admire, somebody with immense talent and imagination...a constant source of inspiration.

Maybe it would help if I showed you his own lovely, lucky children?


Oh fiddlesticks, I knew that would give it away!
Joel Henriques, you're a sport!
Thank you so much for playing along,
I'm sure your parents are proud of you!

 Whose turn next?

Kireei Magazine


If you've been following for a while you'll know that Kireei is a big favourite of mine. I always find something new and interesting on this Spanish children's blog. It's fun, fresh and playful, very similar in taste to Kickcan & Conkers.


Anyway, I'm thrilled to announce the launch of Kireei's first online magazine, chock-full of colourful finds (some really beautiful wooden toys), great addresses and beautiful images by some of my favourite photographers, discovered through this site. I think your kids will love Joel's cardboard craft activity too.

 Believe me, my Spanish is minimal, pictures speak louder than words! Enjoy!

Black & Blue




Just in case you haven't already seen it, Joel's Halloween box scene is the best kids' project I've seen in ages (although I could say that about everything he comes up with!). Make one of your own using his free template and let the spooky fun begin!
