Hello Kembo!

Introducing you to beautifully Australian made wooden block sets from Kembo. Kembo blocks help kids learn through play, encouraging them to count, balance, think logically and be creative. 

These blocks also made to accurate modular dimensions, and Kembo tell us this means playing with them is actually "playing with maths". Even if your 2 year old doesn't know it yet! 

Fun learning has got to be the best kind of learning!

Primary set of 20 blocks $59

Stylin Scarlett: Funky Spunky Littlehorn

I just love Littlehorn! Their clothes are bright, colourful and fun to wear. My favourites are the cakewalk cardi and the festival dress. Team both of these with a pair of Mine by Kayla tinted white jeans then pop on a pair of black biker boots and you're good to go!

Munster Winter Part Two!

As long time devoted fans of Munster, we were thrilled when the delivery man rocked up with our second hit of awesome winter threads! Munster always manage to pull off a look that remains edgy and playful, without ever compromising our kids' comfort. A childs gotta play! Think, soft cotton long sleeve tees in THE raddest prints, slouchy cardigans and great stretch denim skinnies.
Here's a peek at the latest goodies:

Trekker tee (look closely - the space 'man' is actually a kitty cat!)
