make it perfect: .February Cool Shops! BLAKE'S CRAYONS.

Welcome to my newest Cool Shop, Blake's Crayons...

Wendy is the clever woman behind Blake's Crayons, and she makes these cool novelty-shaped crayons.

Drawing is done many times a day at our house and you may remember that Lil is quite fond of a bit of body art. Thankfully crayons don't leave such a mark but are a little higher on the drawing material ranking than pencils. Very Mummy-friendly :)

And these ones are super cute to look at too! Lil is most impressed that her new crayons look like ice cream cones, whereas I can't get Tommy to stop chewing them!

Blake's Crayons really are great. They are the perfect size for little hands to hold - slightly chunky and not too long, and have a lovely, smooth feel to them.

Not only do Blake's Crayons specialise in really cool novetly crayons, but check out this absolutely adorable Wooden Bird Baby Toy. A lovely gift for a new baby that is unlike most you can purchase in baby stores. I love the natural look that it has and it would be great for encouraging grasping and soothing teething pain.

Check out a few of the other novetly crayon shapes in store...
