The Kid Should See This 🌈🪐✨

April 11 is National Submarine Day. Submarines represent incredible engineering achievements, allowing people to live and work underwater in sealed environments with their own air supply, power systems, and living quarters.

Back on land, here's a #video that features a meticulously crafted wooden automata submarine, whose gears and mechanisms depict the cramped but active world inside. 🌊🪵

The EU agrees a ban on hazardous substances in toys.

The text, which will only come into force once it has been officially adopted by the member states and the European Parliament, bans PFAS, unless they are inaccessible to children, and targets endocrine disruptors.

Here is a fairly recent ( I really must get around to updating my website with these!) Kids' Drawing story make for a wee girl, who was very specific with her instructions to me on the drawing, and then also via her Mum who ensured I made the head cream and not yellow, gave her blue eyes, and added in the brown fringe 😊 I decided to also add the rest of the hair and make the hoodie removable from the head and added a little green skirt and some black shoes.

A child's drawing of a figure with a very large round yellow head and a tiny body. The face has two large black eyes with long eyelashes and a button with freckles over it, and a big U shaped mouth. The head is wearing a green frog hoodie with two frog eyes on top. The drawing is covered in written instructions from the child.
A photo of the crochet version of the drawing. In this version the face is cream and the eyes blue with black pupils. There is also a visible fringe of brown hair. The body is small in relation to the head, but larger than in the drawing. It has the green hoodie top and a skirt in a slightly different green shade as well as arms and legs with black shoes. It is sitting on an owl bean bag on a wooden surface next to a red wall.
This is another photo of the same crochet doll, taken from the side this time, showing the hoodie top removed so that the brown, wavy hair, made up from strands of yarn, is visible.
