Fresh, Modern Baby Toys
It doesn’t make much to make me happy. A happy, healthy family, rewarding personal relationships, continued learning are all de regieur. What I also crave, almost as much as pure caffeine in the morning, is visual calm. A messy playroom, dirty dishes, stains on a pair of pants I just bought Harrison - those things can drive me batty.
I look for balanced and calm design in products as well. Granted, Oompa does stock a few eye sores. I.e., “Who’s On The Farm” from Jellycat. But Jellycat is a fantastic British company. The absence of a few kooky designs would make me wonder if this company was actually British! (And you should see what the owner DOESN’T let us sell in the US!)
On the flip side, there are companies such Kid O that makes my job so much easier. Kid O offers learning toys for young children that are basic - to the point of being plain. But therein is their beauty. Kid O doesn’t bother to plaster needless designs or a schizophrenic color palette all over their baby toys . The result is a collection of learning and educational toys whose design is modern and clean - designs that belong in a museum - or at Oompa!
