Manufactured using recycled fabric, the Kidzsack is offered with different screenprints for colouring. Each bag comes with 8 washable, non-toxic markers.

foldable bathtub

How about that? A foldable baby bathtub which you can bring along to the pool! If you have tried bathing a 2yr old in the pool’s shower rooms, you will understand how difficult it is to bathe with one hand and depress the shower tap with the other hand. We gave up the last time we went to the pool and decided we should just wipe dry the kiddos and bathe them when we reached home. 

Now, with The Flexi Bath, designed by Danish company - A Real Cool World, bathing will be a breeze and fun too! The Flexi Bath folds easily and is stored flat. It comes with a temperature sensitive drain plug which changes from black to red when the bath water reaches 35 degrees centigrade. For safety, the bottom of the bath has a non-slip surface. The Flexi Bath is available in a myriad of colours, there’s sure to be one that your babe will love.

monster under the bed

Long, long time ago, in a far far away land....... and so the journey of imagination begins....

Stories are such integral part of childhood, they are not just bed-time entertainment that can help impart great morals to children. Stories help to foster the fundamentals in early childhood literacy. When children listen to stories, they gain crucial language skills. Monster Under the Bed (MUTB), a school of literacy & storytelling, provides fun learning experiences for children between the ages of 4 to 12 thru their carefully designed programmes. Storytelling is used as a core tool in all their programmes. Besides their usual classes,  MUTB also offers workshops, holiday camps and occasional storytelling sessions at selected locations such as Page One Bookstore, Philatelic Museum, IKEA. Check HERE for their updated schedules.

our first day out

Date: 5 - 8 Jun 2008

Venue: Singapore Expo

Our very first consumer show! Though we only got one third of the booth space, we had a really exciting 4day. The first day was rather slow and we feared that we may have to lug all our goods back at the end of the 4th day. But how wrong were we! Our cute BabyLegs was almost SOLD OUT on the 3rd day, we were already taking pre-orders on the 2nd day for the more popular styles which were mostly sold out by then. We didn't bring much stocks for The Dream Bag, just a few sample pieces as we weren't expecting such good response for our adorable sleeping bags too! So we had to offer pre-orders service as well for The Dream Bag.

A number of our regulars came over to say ‘hi’. After all the emails & PMs, we had finally met.... for the first time. It was really nice to see everyone, we can now put a face to the nicks/email addresses. We also met some very nice first time customers (hopefully will also become our regulars) who’re very patience with us while we made out their pre-order list or when we gave out the wrong change.

Overall, it was a very fun and fruitful first day-out for itsy bitsy ME! Above are a few snap shots of our humble booth space. We know it is not impressive BUT we promise we will make it better next year. 

We would like to thank: 

• Maryann from The Studio Loft for sharing the booth space with us and giving us tips on how to go about doing up our one-third space area.
  
• Hann Yang from WINKtoLEARN for being such a nice neighbor and his generosity in offering us his carrier bags for our goods when we FORGOT (yep, u read correctly) to bring our own, oh... and the drinks too.
  
• Dear old sis for helping out, I wouldn't be able to manage without her.
  
• My son for helping to distribute our printed DMs.
  

Well, till next year....
