Apartment Dwellers Rejoice!

Modern Kid Stuff has expanded it’s furniture range to include adult furniture as well!  Here’s an amazing space-saving dining table.  Unfold it to dine, fold it up to set it aside: PAKET. The table accommodates a total of four chairs, which can be ordered in one color per two chairs, and the chair colors can be different than the table color.  Creates an unobtrusive dining area in a kitchen or apartment.

In an article for the New York Times, designer Dror Benshetrit picked Paket as one of his “few favorite” collapsible products.

Paket was an LA Times Editor’s Pick at ICCF.

One of the greatest challenges that we face as parents is keeping our kids from “decorating” the furniture and walls with their crayons or markers. One option is to paint a wall in your child’s playroom with chalkboard paint. Another way is with is an Offi Chalkboard Table. The bentwood birch plywood table has a uniquely durable chalkboard surface and a bowl in the center for chalk/eraser storage.  I bet you never thought you’d be encouraging your child to draw on furniture!

Sleep-deprived because your child doesn’t understand when your household arises most amiably? We’re delighted to have finally discovered a terrific wakeup Nanny to help your child know when it really is morning. The wonderfully interactive and versatile Teach Me Time! talking alarm clock provides color changes on the clock face to signal appropriate wake-up time, as well as delightful alarms to announce a specific rising time. Digital and analog readings provide older children with a more specific learning experience, along with an interactive time-teaching game with leveled difficulty. This delightfully designed appliance is user-friendly for both parent and child. Controls for parents are well-concealed; power sources AC and DC; alternative color bezels for clock face. The cute design will be equally appropriate in your baby’s nursery or in the older child’s room. We think you’ll be as impressed as we are with the thoughtfulness that has been put into the creation of this clock. Be careful, though. The kids might catch you playing with those cute, functional toes.
