This weekend in Warsaw I visited Przetwory (Preserves) fair dedicated to handmade crafts and small brands, and this year edition was focused especially on kids. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">You could find there various ideas for gifts, from tiny felt brooches, through unique toys (stuffed, wooden, paper), designer kids clothes and accessories. I bought there a few pretty things and left the place thinking of new must-haves for my little one (this list just won't stop growing...!).</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">So today I would like to present to you a few Polish kids brands that really caught my eye and which, hopefully, will keep on growing and gaining recognition. It's great to see so many talented people around!</span><br />

<a href="http://www.miniio.com/" target="_blank"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Miniio</span></b></a> creates beautiful stylish doll houses, inspired by the best adult design, made with serious care and attention to detail, only in a mini-scale. I've already heard so much about them, but this is the first time I saw Miniio's creations in person, and I was really impressed. So if you're looking for a stylish abode for your daughter's Barbie, consider one of their wooden doll houses. </div>

<a href="http://foldme.pl/" target="_blank"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Fold me</span></b></a> are beautiful paper toys that form two collections: Carol-singers and Cosmos. Each set contains twenty two 3D figurines that offer kids tons of fun - first as they are being cut out, assembled and sometimes also colored, and then when they serve as beautiful toys or decorations. Honestly, I couldn't imagine a better christmas tree garland for a house with a little kid.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">When I was a kid, on the 6th of December (Saint Nicolas' name day) my parents used to give me a chocolate advent calendar with small chocolate pieces hidden under numbered sections for every day of December, up until the 24th. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Since I loved sweets, I couldn't resist eating all 6 chocolates from those first days of the month at once, but then I would discipline myself, and for the following days I would only open and eat one piece a day, celebrating each precious bite. I still love this memory, so every December I keep sharing chocolate advent calendars with my parents and my husband.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Chocolate calendars are the easiest way for a Christmas warm-up. But if you're not happy with a ready-made box of chocolates, how about preparing your own little piece of Christmas art? Just look at the examples below for inspiration.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">But even to those who won't be tempted by the beauty of reading, books can be really pretty objects that please the eye and decorate the room. So let's see how it can be done, shall we?</span><br />

Plush love.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Recently I caught myself thinking that all toys need to be developmental, stimulate senses, movement, reflexes and what not, otherwise they're not worth having. Our boy does have 3 or 4 stuffed toys at home but I just never really thought they might be special to him (at least, not yet). But last weekend we went to a toy store and only there did I realize how exciting plush toys can be for a 10 month old kiddo. We drove his stroller into the teddy bear alley and his smile and happy squeals just wouldn't end, as he was trying to pat as many toys as he could possibly reach. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">That was beyond cute, obviously, but also eye-opening. Have I forgotten how I loved my one and only shaggy, old teddy bear? How strong my feelings were for that little scruffy fellow and how much we shared together? Well, I guess I must have, a bit. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">So when I got back home I decided to start looking for a really lovely plushie for my boy. Perhaps one day it might also become his best plush buddy.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Below are some of my findings (and they're not just for boys, as I couldn't resist sharing some beautiful dolls). They're all unique and manually crafted. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Let me know which one you would choose - for a kid or just for you? Also, if you know other lovely plushies, do share a link.</span><br />

Everyday strolls with my little one guarantee a regular dose of sunlight and fresh (chilly!) air, but as the evenings are getting longer, it calls for some extra sources of light.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Once your kid starts cruising around the house, placing candles and tealights around isn't such a good idea anymore. So what are the wiser lighting options? </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Below you can find some</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">ideas to brighten your evenings and please your and your kid's eyes with soft, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">atmospheric light. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Enjoy! :)</span><br />

Something to warm up the house and fill it with the feel-good smell of apples and spice. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">As 'intolerant gourmets' (as <a href="http://www.theintolerantgourmet.com/" target="_blank">Pippa Kendrick</a> - one of my favorite cooking authors - beautifully put it), my son and I cannot enjoy all ingredients, so I was looking for an easy and healthy recipe, but without eggs or diary products. <b>Apple crumble</b> can be made this way and its beauty lies in simplicity and quality of ingredients, especially gorgeous seasonal apples. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Many crumble recipes are rather too heavy and buttery for my liking, so I decided to try a variation (with only slight modifications) proposed by </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://ammniam.dziecisawazne.pl/crumble-jablkowe/" target="_blank">Am Mniam</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">,</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">an inspiring Polish website dedicated to healthy baby food. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">This recipe is suitable for kids 10m+, but please note that the age indication might differ depending on individuals. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It is <b>egg-free</b>, <b>diary-free</b> and contains <b>no added sugar or salt</b>. If you want to make it also gluten-free, replace oat bran with ground sesame seeds. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Best served warm, this crumble will surprise your little one's palate with soft, sweet, yet slightly acidulous apple bottom and crunchy, nutty top. Our baby boy loved it.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Below you can see the results of my baking (oh, so yummy!) and the recipe. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Bon appétit!</span><br />

<br />
<b>Apple bottom</b>:<br />
sweet apples - 1 kilo or 4-5 medium sized apples<br />
raisins - 3-4 spoons<br />
cinnamon - 1/2 teaspoon<br />
cardamom - 1/2 teaspoon<br />
ginger powder - 1/2 teaspoon<br />
water - 4-5 spoons<br />
<br />
<b>Crunchy top</b>:<br />
ground almonds - 100g<br />
oat bran - 70g<br />
agave syrup - 2 spoons<br />
vanilla extract - a few drops<br />
canola oil - 2 spoons<br />
<br />
Peel, core and cut apples in 1cm dices, then place in a pan, adding water and spices. Let them simmer on low heat for 8-10 minutes, until apples become soft.<br />
In a bowl, mix together all ingredients for the crunchy top and stir well. When ready, transfer the apples into ceramic or tart pan (I used a 22 cm pan), even the surface and cover with the top mixture.<br />
Preheat the oven to 160ºC and bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden brown.<br />
Serve warm and enjoy with all your senses. :)<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It would be best if the solution allowed your kid to easily access the toys, so she or he can take things out to play and then (hopefully) put them back. That's why regular furniture doesn't always come in handy. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It would also be great if it blended well with the general look and feel of the playroom. And for that reason, I'm not a big fan of gigantic tupperware-style storage boxes.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">So what are the alternatives? Below you will find some simple and pretty inventive ideas for storing toys that are practical, fun and easy to apply. And as you'll see, most of the will cost you next to nothing. Let me know which ones you like best!</span><br />

This is a solution that I'm currently testing at home and I really like it. A straw basket can hide many toys, it is easy to access and safe for your kid. And once you decide it's not big enough for all the treasures to contain, you can always claim it back and use for storing your laundry, grocery shopping, etc.</div>

Wooden boxes can be a good basis for a DIY module rack. I think I prefer the painted version, as it is both more dynamic and makes the toys stand out more. You can also decorate the boxes with wrapping paper or wallpaper.</div>

Whatever the reason, even a-few-month-old kids enjoy playing in cardboard boxes or crawling through tunnels. Our 9m son loves hiding under the blanket with his daddy - there his toys suddenly become more interesting and he giggles frantically playing peek-a-boo. As kids grow more independent, they invent their own secret hiding spaces, where they can unleash their imagination and play for hours, immersed in the wonderland.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Below I would like to show you some inspiring examples of little indoor hideaways - from teepees to castles and rockets. Kids' imagination has no limits, so why not feed it in someplace creative.</span><br />

When I first read that this play hut from <a href="http://www.ourchildrensgorilla.com/products/skullcave.aspx" target="_blank">Our Children's Gorilla</a> is called a Skull Cave, it sounded a bit creepy to me.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Today let's have a look at toys that can be a healthy alternative to those popular plastic toys that hurt eyes and - pretty often - ears. Examples collected below are made (mostly) of natural materials. They are simple, functional and support kids' development... as well as good taste. </span></div>

Children love imitating adults but we're not always willing to allow them to do so (you wouldn't want your little one to drool over your iPhone or detach random keys from the keyboard...). But if they saw you snapping photos with Instagram (well, surely!), they will love having their own version of it. This <b>wooden</b> Anagram toy camera is a cool invention from Etsy's Twig Creative and a great gift for future little photographers. As an avid Instagram user, I'm thinking of getting one already.</div>

As I've only learned recently, the best first bikes are those without pedals - or so called running bikes. There is a great variety of those, but I think I like most simple <b>wooden</b> bikes from <a href="http://www.wishbonedesign.com/" target="_blank">Wishbone</a>. And if they look too plain for you, perhaps Janod's Vespa-inspired <b>wooden</b> scooter would be a better choice? Both kinds are cute, stylish and guarantee great fun for kids.</div>

For interior use, you might consider ride ons. Wheely Bug offers great ride ons for kids as young as 1 y.o. Their cute creations are made of <b>wood</b> and offer a safe and fun way to zoom around the house or apartment (as the wheels can move in all directions, your little one won't get stuck meandering between pieces of furniture). It can also be used as a pusher when the child is learning to walk. I guess the only problem is choosing the perfect bug for your kiddo - will it be more fun to ride a pig, a lion or a ladybug? :)<br />

If you're not into cute animals, why not offer your child a (toy) car? My favorite little cars are <a href="http://www.schylling.com/" target="_blank">Schylling</a>'s Speedster <b>metal</b> ride ons. The classic race car silhouette and vintage look guarantee the machine won't be limited to the kids room. And I guess the kids should enjoy it, too.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I like how, without stronger color accents, those delicate clothes don't compete with their wearers, but accentuate kids beauty and personality. And how natural and effortless they look - no overdressing, just the kind of clothes I could imagine feeling comfortable in (and cool!) myself.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Below are some of my favorite findings from recent collections - simple, warm, vintage'y. And what are your favorites?</span><br />

Denim hues and greys work great for kids and babies alike. The cut and choice of materials is different, but just look how cool all of them look. Bonus: the mustache theme, I love it!</div>

Polka dots make me think of innocence, youth and delicacy. This cool gentleman knows how to give them some edge - hand painted leggings turn the outfit into a vibrant, rock'n'roll set. On the other hand, this pouting little lady gets a softer look, more appropriate for her age, thanks to the dotted skirt - as the blacks alone would make it a rather serious outfit. <br />

Simplicity is the key - from the limited color palette to the cut. I really like how elegant they look, without being overdressed.<br />

Basically, I believed that you cannot reconcile adult love for design with kids paraphernalia. At first glance, it all seemed vanilla to me - pale blue or sweet pink, ribbons, bears, flowers, hearts... Too much form, too little love and creativity.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Fortunately, once you start digging into the subject, you can happily discover many alternatives to mainstream pinks and blues, like the little bedrooms inspired by Scandinavian design, minimal or vintage style, that I'm presenting below.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Modern, joyful, light and serene thanks to neutral base palette (white, greys and, yes, black!), with occasional swatches of colour and artful design. Later this month, I will also show you some of my favorite kids clothes, toys and gadgets. Enjoy!</span><br />

Grey, black, white and yellow. The choice of colors is not obvious and it suits well both sexes, as well as different purposes of the room - from playtime to relaxation and sleep.</div>

Yet another black wall, here in chalk paint, invites children to play. A contrasting wallpaper roll reminds us we're in a kids area and dotted lamp and bedding bring yet more light accents.</div>

On becoming a mom, I have entered a previously unimaginable world of overwhelming baby cuteness, smelly diapers, tiny pretty outfits, belly aches, toothless smiles, elimination diet, baby gadget mania, <span style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969);">sleep deprivation,</span><span style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969);"> losing</span> hair and kilos. I am enjoying the blessings of having a joyful, user-friendly kid and gradually I have embraced most negatives as either inevitable or not that bad after all. I don't like bugging myself with trivial things, so I always prefer to move on to the good ones.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Here, I want to share some of the beautiful, fun, yummy and fascinating things that belong to the kids universe, and that are worth of an adult's attention. I hope you will enjoy them, too!</span><br />
