baby books

Here are some of my favorite baby books for keeping photos and recording those first years. These are great gifts to give for parents of a new baby as they don’t take up much space. Baby bird first year album and baby book from Binth are picture above. I just purchased The First 1000 Days from Nikki McClure – it is a lovely little book with room for photos and journaling.

Cool for a kid’s room – photogram ABC poster ($68) from Spring3D.

Winner in the category of typography – AIGA (American Institute of Graphic Arts)- the Photogram Alphabet is composed of found, recycled, and reused objects. Each letter is created by capturing the shadow of an object without any distortion of scale with all the objects photographed together.

photo birth announcements

We’re gearing up for the arrival of child number 2 (aka Sparkle) this summer, so I’m looking for some birth announcements now. I swear I will not buy some and then leave them in a drawer somewhere only to find them three years later unused. So, I think having some sent directly from a site might be the way to go. Not sure if I’m crazy about these photo birth announcements, but at least there are some that are not pink and blue. Anyone have a source for photo birth announcements that they’d recommend?

I was looking for fun kids projects this weekend and came across this tutorial for making a doll using a photo for the face. What a great idea for kids who don’t get to see their relatives all that often. Also, the tutorial contains some useful info on products to use for printing photos on fabric.

I just read about Perpetual Kid over on Funky Finds. Not only do they sell this cool picture frame with backlight for illuminating photo transparencies, they also sell the tic tac toe puzzle frame I wrote about for the photojojo newsletter, which up until now I had only found for sale in the UK. Check out the sliding puzzle frame, too. Fun frames for adults and kids alike.

wooden camera

As someone who is in the midst of plastic toy invasion, I welcome any and all toys made of wood. So I was very happy to see this wooden toy camera for the youngest shutterbug in your family. The camera is made from walnut, oak and alder with a non-toxic oil and features moving parts and a view finder to look through. Plus it’s made by a small family-owned company in the US. Get it at Romp ($24).

hello kitty camera

Our little fashionista is turning three next week, and we decided to buy her a camera (her first). We went ahead and got her this little cow camera, but when I saw this Hello Kitty digital camera I almost bought it on the spot. Luckily, l took a moment to read the reviews. It sounds like it’s pretty crappy! Anyone ever use one? It’s so hard to judge a product based on Amazon reviews, but these were pretty harsh. She loves Hello Kitty (as do I) so I was really hoping it would be good. Ah well, it is fun to look at.
