Removable fabric wall decals designed to help kids get crafty
Kids are fickle. Keeping them entertained is a never-ending problem for parents. Enter Sticky Tiki, a creative solution in the form of reusable wall decals, originally hand-painted and printed by a crafty couple in Napier, New Zealand. Made from rip- and wrinkle-proof fabric, the graphics are backed with a low-tack adhesive for easy transfer— either to reconfigure the shape, apply them outdoors or to take them with you if you move.
The printed fabric is also washable, so they not only encourage cognitive thinking through creative application, but allow for messy kids to go wild with them—perfect for interactive storytelling.
Sticky Tiki wall graphics last three to five years, and have been tested for long-lasting strength after repositioning, which work up to around 140 moves. Leaving no marks on the walls when moved, if your little one outgrows the design, there is no need to repaint the room.
The decals come in a variety of styles and range in price, typically spanning $25-150. Pick them up online from the official website or Etsy shop, where you can also contact the makers about customization.
Spray-on conditioner detangles and protects delicate tresses in a flash
I don’t have kids, but spraying Little Green’s detangler on my hair brought back childhood memories of mom pulling a hairbrush through my tangles as I ran out the door to school. Having also spent hours combing my baby sister’s long, ultra-fine hair (we called it “turning straw into gold”), the leave-in product is perfect for wrangling any unruly mop when time is at a premium.
Fortified with ingredients that moisturize, strengthen and protect (aloe, silk proteins, vitamins B5 and E, etc.), the formula helps with sun damage as well as other hazards of the environment, including chlorine, heat and salt. To use, evenly spray the fine mist on clean hair, maybe finger comb it—no rinsing necessary .
The hypoallergenic, paraben- and sulfate-free conditioner doesn’t come cheap, starting at $15 for an eight-ounce bottle (available from the Little Green site or Amazon), but the spray dispenser means it should last you longer than others.
