Made by Joel is a gorgeous blog written by Dad of 3 year old twins, Joel Henriques. “Made by Joel is a space to share art, craft, and handmade education projects for children and their care givers.” These are just some of the fabulous handmade, wooden toys Joel has lovingly produced.
Joel also has his own book, Made to Play, with craft and toy projects using wood, fabric and paper, to help you to get crafty with the kids too!

I stumbled across Oakey Dokey the other day and just knew I had to share it with you! Beautiful, handmade, bespoke oak furniture for children, that they will love just as much as you do.
“Great emphasis is placed on safety with rounded edges, easy slide drawers to protect little fingers and a child safe natural oil finish which enhances the wood’s inherent beauty.”
The designs are g.o.r.g.e.o.u.s. too!
I just adore real wood furniture like this and I love the idea that everything Oakey Dokey sell is handmade to order, in a small workshop, right here in the UK. Like Santa’s workshop! :)

I have some awesome, little people transportation devices for you today, by the very talented Valentin Vodev. First of all, the Roller Buggy which cleverly transforms a standard pram into a scooter buggy! For parents on the run (or just parents in that case!), it enables much more speedy movement of small people through towns and cities. I love this! Due to the speed aspect however, it is only for use with children aged 18 months and over, but in all honestly, who with children under 18 months has the energy to scoot anyway?! :)
Then we have the Pullchair, a lightweight, foldable, ‘pullchair’, perfect for travel with children aged 1-3, who want to walk, but tire easily.
Such good ideas! Think I ‘need’ them both! :)
