something<br />
that is cool<br />
Building box<br />
Ohio-based Build A Dream Playhouses has headed<br />
back to the basics with its corrugated cardboard box<br />
playhouses that take the shape of cars, kitchens,<br />
castles, space shuttles and more. The no-frills<br />
approach to play doesn’t require adhesive or fasteners<br />
and uses black graphics on 100% recyclable white<br />
cardboard, allowing kids to decorate the structures<br />
with paint, markers and stickers.<br />
Cuddling up to iPhone<br />
“Can I play with your iPhone?”<br />
It’s a question some parents hear every day,<br />
which is why Nashville, Tennessee’s Griffi n<br />
Technology and partners ScrollMotion and<br />
Iceberg Kids Co-op have developed<br />
the Woogie. Soft and huggable, this hybrid<br />
stuffed animal/protective case has a<br />
starfi sh-like design that allows for safe play<br />
and hands-free viewing and interaction.<br />
To complement the plush, the Sesame Street<br />
eBook sampler app from Iceberg is included<br />
with the Woogie (US$19.99) or can be<br />
downloaded for free at the US iTunes store.
