Tiny Train Wallpaper
It's a subtle design, yet it's perfect for a child: the little locomtoive on this Tiny Train wallpaper from Rockett St George carries a selection of friendly animals and appealing trees to... well, who knows where?
Whatever, it's a gorgeous motif for a kid to gaze at as they drift off to sleep, and that's good enough for me.
Available at Amazon.

Brigitte Herrod ABC print
It looks like a pack of alphabet cards scattered randomly across the frame, but this colourful piece is actually a single print from the very talented Brigitte Herrod. She made it for her own child, so we can be sure it was created in love. From Rockett St George.

Light-up balloons - yes, really
Here's one of those products that gets me muttering 'in my day...', while secretly being thrilled that we live in such times as these. Light up balloons? My goodness.
Now, I've seen a room full of five-year-olds utterly and completely entertained by the good old-fashioned standard balloons, but I suppose if you want to take them to the very edge of excitement (and beyond) you buy these, blow them up, and switch the lights off. And plain old balloons will never be the same again...

Peagreen prints
Help! Somebody hold me back! Every time I look at this fish print from Peagreen I get an itchy mouse finger and an irrepressible desire to purchase. It is just so beautiful.
Their site is certainly worth a visit if you fancy something both playful and artful for your nursery walls - how about the umbrella print, below? There's plenty to choose from, in several styles, all highly desirable.

Clouds for your wall
I love these wooden clouds and raindrops from Bookhou. You can order whichever of the three shapes you prefer, in whatever quantity, depending on whether you fancy a wall-wide rainstorm or a localised shower. So simple, so sophisticated.
If you like clouds too, check out other cloud-inspired products we've covered on Babygadget.

Cheap and cheerful MDF stools
I can't remember how I first stumbled across German site Werkhaus - all I know is, the Google translate toolbar is working overtime as I try to fathom out the facts about some of their prettiest wares.
Case in point are these MDF photostools: coming in a variety of crazy designs, they look quick and easy to slot together, and they cost just € 59,80 for a pack of three. Cheap and cheerful kids' furniture you can chuck if they get too beaten up.

Slot-in picture frame: for your three-masterpieces-a-day genius
Masterpieces are coming thick and fast from my daughter at the moment, and every day, her latest work supersedes the last. The folk at Letterbox must know the problem, because they've come up with this nifty wooden frame, which allows you to slot pictures in and out as easy as pie.
It also comes in a single version, which might be easier if you have a mixture of landscape and portrait works coming into the house.

Lowres elephant light
"Lowres elephant?" I was thinking, "Is that pronounced a bit like a louring sky?" And then I realised it must be "low res", as in low resolution.
But there's nothing fuzzy or substandard about this, erm, thing. It's a lamp, it's a toy, it's a sculpture and it's a stool, all rolled into one. Sadly, as it appears to be simply a side-project of Dutch designers Gispen, it may not be available to buy.
It's got to be worth an enquiry, though. Can you imagine the impact this would have in the nursery? And how lucky would the child be who got to ride on their very own interior-lit enormous elephant? Admire it more on the Gispen website.

Rainbow animal alphabet
Here's another one to add to our ever-increasing list of alphabets we admire: the rainbow animal alphabet, from York (UK) based illustrator Katy Holmes.
I'm struck by the simple outlines which manage to express such character, and I'm unsure whether the it's the penguin or the urchin that has wriggled its way most firmly into my affections.
Thanks to Bambino Goodies for the tip-off, and the "not THAT Katy Holmes" jokes.

Amenity cushions
They have a Fifties illustrational sensibility, but their eco-credentials belong firmly in the 21st century: these cushions by Amenity would be an absolutely delightful addition to any child's home. The same designs are available on blankets and wall-prints, too.
In the UK, you can find them at Minigiants.
