Soft toys made by KIDS
IKEA recently ran a campaign where kids drew pictures of fantastical creatures from their imaginations – and the winning drawings were made into real life soft toys! The toys are now available in IKEA stores with €1 from each purchase going to UNICEF and Save the Children.

A Dublin Fairytale book
A Dublin Fairytale by Nicola Colton is one of the most beautifully illustrated children’s books we’ve come across in ages. Children familiar with the city will delight in the artist’s wonderful interpretation of many of the capital’s famous landmarks.

Personalised jigsaw puzzle
Kids love sitting down to a good jigsaw puzzle, but imagine the fun they’ll have if it’s a puzzle of their family… or themselves? PhotoBox creates personalised photo jigsaws the kids will love. And they’re made by puzzle favourite Ravensburger so you know they’ll be great quality.
