Shak-Shuka's Furze Chan Paper Puppet Giveaway

I love paper, colour and creativity

I'm stating the obvious, I know.

I'm also aware that you've seen Furze Chan's puppets before

That you cooed and aahed when they first came out

But did you actually buy one

or two, or three, or four or five, I wonder?

Beautiful, simple and fun

Furze Chan's paper puppets are all those and more

They're eco-friendly too, you see

Crafted from recycled paper

I love green products

Stylish eco-boutiques

Making a difference, offering an alternative, creating an eco-conscience

Shak-Shuka

Eco-excellence

For Baby, Child and Mama 

There I go stating the obvious again!

Let's go eco-ethnic

If you love Zid Zid Kids as much as I do, you'll be pleased to know that the excellent Dutch eco-family boutique Shak-Shuka is offering a 15% reduction on its entire play section until midnight 15th November (CET) using the promo code SINT. Shak-Shuka offer a great selection of quality, eco-toys and accessories for children, including names like Kapla, Inke, Kidsontheroof, Ecodis, NooNoo and Miva.

I found Shak-Shuka a while ago thanks to Bold & Noble, who now sell their growth chart and prints through this store. So Happy Kids, a relatively new kid on the block and one of my favourite French/English addresses for child-related finds, put them back on my radar, so merci Su!

In a similar vein, Foxcat, a newcomer to etsy, sells some original, ethnic-inspired handmade and embroidered dolls from fabric remnants and recycled clothing. I especially love the folk birds and mule.
