This is the new sticker set that replaces the usual alphabets on your keyboard. Each letter in the alphabets on classroom banners are associated with an animal or object and because kids nowadays have become increasingly computer dependent at an early age, Christopher Monro DeLorenzo thought it was time to adapt an old method to a new medium. From cultural icons to greek mythology, this keyboard sticker set is set to please any child or even an adult.

Muji and Lego has taken Lego bricks to a new dimention by teaming up for these paper punch out add ons. Comes in 4 different boxed sets, each set include Lego bricks and some sheets of coloured paper and stencils from Muji. A special hole punch that matches the size of the pins on the Lego bricks is used to create dimensional characters with the paper cutouts. Who would have thought? Only available at Muji stores from Nov 27 in Japan.

Alphabet Plates was created by a graphic designer and mom-of-three who obviously know what the little ones want. You could customize your plate to look like your child, has his/her name or monogram on it or even to reflect one of their interests or favourite food. Alphabet Plates are molded using a thermalset melamine compound that has been used in dishes for over 50 years. They are BPA (Bisphenol-A) free, break resistant but are not microwave-safe.
