The Moroccan inspired Children’s Table & Cushion Set uses cushions instead of chairs, which is a great for children. A traditional chair restricts a childs movements a lot and the cushions along with the height of the table allows children to move freely when drawing, painting and playing. Another great thing about it is that it is round. A round table of course removes the risks involved when mixing active kids and sharp corners, but it also allows children to sit together without being divided by corners and interact very well with each other.

The children’s table is made out of hand painted plywood and Moroccan orange tree and the cotton flannel cushion covers are removable and machine washable. The table set is a good example of nice, simple and functional design for children.

The elephant table is available at Giggle where you can also find lots of cute puppets, a Sport Racer Pedal Plane, a life size Cat in the Hat, and a Hip Kitty Dish Set amongst other fun and useful things for kids of all ages.

RoomMate is a Danish company which designs great products for children and their rooms. For instance they design stuffed foam cars, big cat shaped bean bags and funny dolls.

The dolls are called Roomies. They’re the funny looking dolls you can see in the picture. As you can see they’ve got funny expressions and personalities. You can get to know each doll and the relations between the dolls better at RoomMate where they are all presented on their own page.

I have not yet been able to find an American or international shop for Roomies, but they can be purchased at Design Delicatessen which ship internationally. You just have to get through the ordering process which is in Danish. Maybe sending them an e-mail would be easier.

Christmas is soon upon us with celebration and family gatherings. Then comes New Year’s Eve and the kids can once again meet up with their friends, and catch up on some “lost” time. There are lots of possibilities for making the New Year’s Eve party special with some party supplies from Realm Decór.

One simple way of putting a bit more color to a party is the Glowing Straws. They glow in different colors adding some festivity to the party.

To make drinks look cool Realm Decór has “The Bling Cup”, which is a glass with few equals. It is decorated with diamonds - obviously fake ones. If the kids want to feel like celebrities or just want the party to be a bit exclusive, The Bling Cup could be the icing on the cake. The Fuzzy WineWraps is another fun alternative for those who get to borrow mom and dad’s wine glasses. (Wine glasses can just as well hold non-alcoholic liquids, you know…) The fur is long and soft with fresh flaming colors, and can be washed and used more than once.

For covering the table Realm Decór has the genius Lingo Tablecover, which will be great for girls and younger children. The girlfriends will probably love the possibility of writing messages on the table, and the younger kids will enjoy being able to draw all over the table for once.

Besides the party supplies Realm Decór has a big selection of unusual stuff for the whole household. E.g. have a look at the pillows. They come in lots of shapes and different fabrics and will be great for the kids room.
