OMY Design and Play

| October 26, 2012

This week I discovered some incredibly creative toys for toddlers and children with designs that are out of this world from the unique French shop OMY Design and Play.

The Paper Costumes are so cute and playful.

I love this giant 1.8 metre long Colouring Page.

I wrote about the Owl Lover 2013 Calendar early in the week. Owls are magical so here’s a wonderful Owl Print by OMY for your children’s bedroom which glows in the dark, how fun!

Here are some of the best free Halloween printables. Use them as spooky pictures to hang up or make Halloween cards with them. The collection has been compiled by Design Mom Gabrielle Blair and features this wonderful image by A Fanciful Twist. Or how about printing and making these black and orange Halloween Party Owl Invitations.

John Lewis have a great selection of children’s Halloween costumes and toys. For younger children I love the Face Paint Sticks. Suitable for children 3 years plus. Create your own Halloween faces!

For older children my favourite is this Mask Making Kit which makes at least 5 masks. Suitable for ages 7 years plus.
