Tuesday Spotlight 01-05-12: Kids Koala Bags

Last week, in the Roundup we mentioned a selection of bags we've received from a group of nuns in Sri Lanka, well, here they are!

The children's bags we have available currently come in two styles 'Koala' and 'Turtle', the bags we've decided to spotlight today are of the Koala Variety, but you should definitely check out the Turtles too!

Now onto the bags! These bags are handmade in Sri Lanka from Pure cotton in support of the "Project of Single Mothers" and the Good Shepherd Convent in Maravila, Sri Lanka. They are ethically and fairly traded.

Because of the handmade nature of these bags, no two designs are ever the same. These really are great bags for kids and we're happy we managed to track them down! You can find the Koala bags here.

Well, that's all for the Spotlight for this week, we hope to see you soon! 

Because May is, traditionally, our busiest month we might deviate from our blog schedule as the Blog Team (i.e. Me) will be getting (temporarily) reassigned to packing and processing orders. 

Regular service will resume at the beginning of June! Until then we'll try to update as much as possible! See you Thursday for the Roundup! 

Sadly, our BUILDABOXEY code has ran out! So sorry if you missed it, hopefully it (or something like it) will be back soon! If you want free shipping, you'll have to be quick as the code FRIDAYFUN run out on the 4th of May.

Makedo Week: Cars, Planes, Robots and Space Planes!

 











We thought we'd kick off the product showcases with the makedo's range of 'boys toys' which are the (clockwise L-R)Plane, Car, Space Pod and Robot.

 Although all of these kits are innovative and a whole lot of fun, a personal favourite around the office is the Robot kit. Not because it helps us pretend our dream of having a robot butler is coming true. Well, maybe a little. These are all fun ways to teach kids (both big and small) about recycling and reusing products. Check back in Thursday for the rest of our Makedo range (and we've got something special planned for our Friday Fun this week. Stay tuned!)

You can find Makedo on our website here, and rememeber that until the 31st you can get 15% off of all makedo items using the code FRIDAYFUN (restrictions apply).  During the rest of the week, we'll take a look at some of the items form our Makedo range
