Automoblox is not your normal toy car. These cars have a unique, simple and very cool design. They are made out of parts and can be taken apart and put together just like a real car. This allows you to design your own cars by taking existing cars apart, switch the parts around and put new cars together. For this you will of course need more than one of the Automoblox cars. The more cars you have, the more design possibilities you will have.

The body of the Automoblox car is made out of wood and under the hood you find the engine parts. These parts will help you combine any car that you would like to make. The engine parts and the car as a whole was made in cooperation with a child psychologist which has resulted in fun toys with a high educational value. Automoblox inspires creative and imaginative playing and helps develop skills as shape recognition, color matching and fine motor skills.

At Automoblox you can see the specifications for all the Automoblox car models. Each car has their own Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) just like real cars. This will surely increase their collectible value and it also allows you to register your cars online! The VIN contains information about your car. It can tell you the make, year, model, color, place of manufacture and what number your car was to roll of the assembly line.

It is possible to buy extra accessories that allows you to make any car into a 6 and 8 wheeler. This makes building Automoblox cars even more fun.

Automoblox has quite an unusual philosophy when it comes to the durability of their toys. It is unusual for mass producing toy companies to want anything other than cheap and effective production. Durability often gets very little attention. Automoblox’s philosophy is to make heirloom toys with a great durability. “It is better to have one great toy instead of 10 cheap ones.”. Automoblox wants children to bond strongly with their toys and hopes that they might want to keep them as they grow up and pass them on to their own kids. All the Automoblox car parts are incredibly strong. The wheels for example are nearly impossible to break. They are literally bulletproof!

Bank In Form Of A Pig, as this beautiful piggy bank is called, is a part of Harry Allan’s first product series Reality.

In the Reality series Allan borrows existing objects, and does so with precision. This very exclusive piggy bank and the rest of the products in Allan’s Reality series are full of details, like the hair on the little piggy, and organic shapes.

The piggy bank can hold more than 10,000 dollars in bills, but I wouldn’t recommend keeping those amounts in it for a longer period of time!

The gold piggy can be purchased at Where Did You Buy That.

If you are interested in special piggy banks you should check out this mechanical bank at Banks Banks Banks. The mechanical bank can be personalized.

The luxurious FLATOUTbear is a cute and cuddly bear handmade of 100% Australian sheepskin. The FLATOUTbear has safety eyes and noses, and this makes them safe for kids of all ages. The bears are only 5 cm high when lying flat, and making them very suitable for small kids to use as comforters. It can even be used as a warm and soft pillow.

One celebrity who has fallen for the FLATOUTbear is Sarah Jessica Parker probably most known from the Sex in the City show. FLATOUTbear designers Sarah and Prue sent one of their bears to Parker, and received this message back:

“Honestly, when I opened your package, my son was sleeping and I really struggled with the question of whether I had the strength to give it to my son or keep it for myself. James Wilkie immediately named him Catin and asked if he could come downstairs for supper. You can see he will enjoy a well-fed and well-travelled life, as I suspect he will go everywhere we do. And he will be loved.”

FLATOUTbear comes in six colors. They all have a “phone home” tag where you can put your phone number so the bear can find home if he ever gets lost.

To find a retailer near you, visit FLATOUTaustralia. Baby’s Got Style is one of the web shops who offers the FLATOUTbear.

A really great way to preserve your kids artwork is to have Totally Out Of Hand make beautiful pins from them.

The silver pins are great to have for both kids and parents later in life, but the silver pins can also serve as personal and soulful up-to-date jewelry. In stead of buying jewelry that is designed to look naive and cute, you can have genuine naive and cute jewelry made from you own kids artwork.

The silver pins will make a great and personal gift for e.g. christening or grandparents.
