Give Me Three #39


COLORATURO


VILLETTA


TINTE   
Yes, It's Colour My Monday and time to share these wonderful building blocks by art educator and toy designer Karen Hewitt, founder of Learning Materials Workshop. John Meyers was lucky enough to find this set at a flea market a while ago and I was really curious to know where they came from. Thanks to pinterest, I was able to identify "Tinte" and learn about the Reggio Emilia Approch to pre-school education.

Take your time looking at the LMW site, Karen Hewitt's designs will appeal to artlovers and kids alike. I think some of you will also be interested in her blog focused on creativity, art and learning through play.
I, for one, will be following from now on...

A Partridge Pair and Two Turtle Loves



Tom Frost's hand screenprinted wooden bird puzzles are the perfect gift for a loved one at any time of the year but his new festive birds, Partridge Pair and Two Turtle Loves, are ideal for decorating your home at Christmas. I love Tom's prints and toys, he's one of my favourite British illustrators/crafters. Just look at this beautiful Christmas card he designed.
