We are about to receive a few items this week from Tea Collection (http://shop NULL.dandelionkids NULL.ca/index NULL.php?search=tea%20collection). Bali Safari is the theme of their Spring Collection and the pieces are gorgeous! As a company, Tea designs distinctive fashion collections are inspired by the beauty discovered though traveling the world. From the iconic art and architecture of Barcelona to the graphic boldness of Brazilian street graffiti, Tea interprets their discoveries into beautiful, dynamic styles for children, ages 0-12.

When noodling the web we came across this awesome website Draw a Stickman (http://www NULL.drawastickman NULL.com/gallery NULL.htm?p=53).
It’s one of the first things kids learn to draw and adults continue to do so through the rest of their lives.
Here you can be simple or as elaborate as you would like. It will come to life and go on an adventure. When your stick man comes upon an obstacle, you are encouraged to draw other objects to help get your character out of trouble.
You can download the free Stickman app here. (http://itunes NULL.apple NULL.com/us/app/draw-a-stickman/id467614894?mt=8) We have also discouvered the AppCrayon (http://shop NULL.dandelionkids NULL.ca/dano01 NULL.html) really helps those little hands!
Have fun! Please send us a screen capture of your drawings so we can post them. Better yet. If you send us a drawing that involves dandelion we will send you a special discount code. Attack of the dandelions?
Happy drawing! We can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Sometimes, the simplest things bring the most pleasure.
This adorable Mouse Milk House (http://shop NULL.dandelionkids NULL.ca/maileg06 NULL.html) makes the perfect home for a mouse or two and encourages children’s imaginations to take flight. With cut-out window and doors, plain white walls and an open plan upper floor, children can easily rearrange furniture, put their tiny friends to bed, or add some homemade decor to the interior. The house is 60cm tall and is unfurnished.
Maileg is a contemporary Danish design brand established in 1999 and we are in love with their uncomplicated, stylish products.
All products can be found online (http://shop NULL.dandelionkids NULL.ca/index NULL.php?search=maileg) and in-store at either of our locations.

We’ve met beautiful babies, adorable toddlers, big kids entering Kindergarten and growing up happy and strong! We’ve enjoyed getting to know wonderful parents, aunts and uncles, best friends and good neighbours. Thank you for this!
When we first opened on Commercial Drive in 2004, we were proud to be the first to introduce many new and amazing children’s products to Vancouver. We are so pleased to continue with many of these beloved lines and still introduce innovative, earth-friendly, well-made, beautiful, practical products for children. We are grateful that our reputation has continued to grow over the years and we were able to expand our little neighbourhood shop into the online world and then open a second community-minded shop in Port Moody for the Tri-Cities. Our mandate has always been to present products that are well-crafted and safe with extra emphasis on natural, organic and sustainable items for kids. We hope for your continued support and welcome many more years of introducing the best things for babies and kids to the Vancouver area and the rest of the globe.

We fell in love with these the moment we laid eyes on them. Oh what fun! A tickle trunk is not complete without one of these! They look even better with sparkly leg warmers (soon to be online)! Grab the camera as they are sure to bring big smiles and lots of giggles!
