Shorties

Blogs we Love - Muita Ihania

Isn't this family adorable!? Muita Ihania is Finnish for 'Other Wonderful' - well that's what Google Translate tells us. Gotta love this blog for the vibrant colours and amazing knitted goodies. Even though we're a while away from wearing knits on this side of the globe, we can still ogle right?

Tinyfolk Shadow Puppets

When I was a wee lass I tried making shadow puppets out of paper. My creations were a bit sad and perhaps looked more like blobs than characters, but I loved them anyway. Pretty sure I would have gone bananas for these Tinyfolk shadow puppet sets!

There are two themes to choose from, Fairytale and Moon. The puppets are laser cut from thick, high quality matboard, ideal for casting a strong shadow. Kids will spin tales and invent worlds, using just a lamp (or the sun) and their imagination.

Each set, $25, comes with a base and five puppets, - available in store now. Also coming very soon online.
