Some time back we featured the very lovely Bold & Noble type maps as a learning edition to your newbie’s nursery. And although it doesn’t have the same soap opera familiarity as the London map the new Dublin print is a very welcome local edition. Available unframed in sea green or sheer slate here.
Always a place for a bright and beautifully illustrated ABC print. Illustrated by Jannie Ho of Chicken Girl Design this one certainly is bright and cheery. Available from Society 6 in multiple sizes here. (via Jennifer Farley)
For the parent who really wants their tot to grow up loving Star Wars (though no doubt they’ll hate the movies and agree with changing the guns to walkie talkies in ET to spite you), Star Wars nursery prints from Etsy shop My Tiny Tot Creative. In addition to the personalised prints look out for what essentially are Republic starship flashcards. Buy them here.
