Quick School Party Favors

Our daughter is having her school party today, she turns 5! The kids have a very informal snack consisting of cupcakes and juice. Last minute, I went to our local drug store and found Crayola markers on sale, so I picked up 20 sets and added our 9SpotMonk Colour in Cards and made a little package. Hopefully, this will start kids into writing (or colouring) cards and letters and sending them to family and friends!

Happy Birthday Kasie!!

Giggle + Give Away

We're excited to let everyone know 9SpotMonk, our great letterpress line, is in one of my favorite kids stores - Giggle! Since our first daughter was born, we've been going down to the Wooster St. NYC store to stock up on all things modern, cool and baby. Every time we're in town, we visit their store. The kids love the great toys and books they have and we love all the great clothes and baby gear they offer. And now they carry 9SpotMonk kids stuff too. Take a little coffee break and visit Giggle today! Not near one of their 9 locations? Giggle.com

[Spotlight: Creative] Keeping a Sketch Book

Animal & Friends Sketchbook from 9SpotMonk

We make these sketchbooks at the studio. They're 100% recycled and letterpress printed. I keep one in my handbag for Kasie when we go out so she can have a place to draw. She draws constantly, in the car, at restaurants, even while walking outside sometimes. We have quite a few that are filled with doodles, numbers and letters. It's a great idea for traveling too. Take one on a road trip and have your little ones fill it up. Date the sketchbook and keep them together. Later on, you'll have a great visual log of what your child sees through his/her eyes while on your trips as well as seeing at a glance the progress of their drawings.
