Decorate with soft rubbery PakNak Charms
These are called 3D PakNak Charms, described as soft and rubbery that will go on easy and come off quickly with Velcro. Aren’t they sweet? Although they’re mainly said to decorate bags and backpacks, they can be attached to any surface, which means, they can just go anywhere!
At just US$3.99, there are quite a good selection to pick from, whether you want it for your kid or for yourself; from flowers and flurries, critters and crawlies, to yummies for tummies. I like Birdy-Birdy which is said to start each day with a visit to Sola in the garden before heading over to Sprinkles’ bakery to plan out the latest fashions in cupcake design. What a cool bird!
The good folks at PakNak don’t say if they ship internationally but I believe arrangements can be made since these look so light. Anyway if you’re keen, just send an email to sales@paknak.com to find out.

Stylish contemporary wall art for kids nursery room
I was intrigued when I saw the debut series of contemporary artwork from ASTROPUNKS. The set of four wall art prints entitled In The Woods are meant as wall art for a nursery, yet unlike the usual saccharine-sweet decor pieces, the series is so full of character.
Apart from the clean lines and bold colors, I really like the theme of kids’ kinship with animals. Whether it is the bear, the lion, the elephant or the hummingbird, each illustration is able to captivate the childlike innocence and balance that with the strength depicted by the creatures.
According to the artist Sharon Lee, her ilustrations were inspired by the “chubby baby” Chinese New Year posters, which fuse modern motifs with traditional notions of prosperity, happiness and unity.
The 10″ x 8″ archival pigment prints on canvas wall art are hand-stretched around a wooden frame and are ready-to-hang. They are also scratch and water resistant plus most important, being glass-free makes these wall art extremely child safe.
