As you can imagine this month has been all about starting school, and what with parents evenings, washing uniforms and a kiddo old enough to be in school I'm suddenly feeling officially old. So to get myself prepared for this next huge step I focused this months items on things that will get my child school ready.

Next I chose this super cute Meo & Friends keyring from Danish designer Cristine Crebas, at £3 I'm hoping this friendly little character will keep F company at school while giving his school bag a bit of personality. He's already super keen to get some more fun badges to pop on their too and jazz up his navy bag.
Lastly I chose this fun kids book, Stargazers, Skyscrapers & Extraordinary Sausages, I'm a huge fan of kids books and have been collecting book filled with beautiful illustrations and great design since my early twenties, so knew this had to be added to our shelves. F was so excited to have a book to put in his book bag – even though that's not quite how it works – and I'm happy he's excited about school. The book unfolds the imagination of Henrietta and her dog Frank, and while she's dreaming of all the things she wants to be when she's older, there's only one thing on his mind.


*A huge thanks for The Kid Who to ask me to collaborate with them over the next six months as a Gift & Interior Advisor and sending me these wonderful products in exchange for a review.
peg boards are ace, I need to sort out the one in our kitchen as I swear it has letters and notes on there from about 3 years ago! Lovely book too! x
ReplyDeletei love that pegboard!! My fridge commits the cardinal sin of not actually being magnetic as it's built-in and it's a constant source of annoyance that I can't put the millions of school letters/menu plans etc we have up on it. A pegboard would be the perfect solution! x
ReplyDeleteGah! I'm totally jealous of F's pegboard. What a brilliant idea to use it solely for organising school stuff, too - he must think it is such a special space. Great colour, too x
