for the kids

                              

oh, how perfect this commercial is for we play lego!

have a look at it, it is worthwhile and an excellent means of introducing

the 'for the kids' section of this blog.

it is the community platform of we play lego for the whole family 

 ('cause, we all know that we all play lego...)

this is where you come in!

ever marvelled at your child's lego creativity,
thinking wow! i cant believe she made this, she's only 4!

or gosh! i can see peter's contemplative character come through in his lego building.

even, he says it's a crocodile...i don't see it...but if he says it is then surely it must be!

at this point please take a photograph of the creation!

this is where i come in!

send me your photographs, with a story and description
of the creation and creator - optional.

i'll glue the photographs, add the notes on my pretty little new notepad

which looks like this

then..

this is where the whole family comes in!

i'll let you know when it's up and you can all have a look at your

lego creations and make your children feel extra special about building something!!!!

building something for the future!!!!

wild nature

1. supermarket tote R250 from skinny laminx.   2. fox vest R150 from petit pois.  3. scalloped edge shorts R259 from earth child.   4. stella leather sneakers (on sale) R519.20 from mimi and jojo.

what delightful little finds!

this is how it ties into supporting wildlife through fashion. (can't get enough of this!)

the tote bag is the super marvellously fashionable alternative to plastic shopping bags. the fox reminds us of animals and that we share this planet with them, did nature not exist before us? is it not the canvas on which we are painted? the 100% organic cotton scalloped shorts supports organic cotton growing and that directly benefits our water supply, fresh water organisms and keeps genetically engineered cotton out of our cupboard. good leather shoes (what i call a heritage piece) will stop us from buying poor quality shoes whereby we can decrease carbon emissions somewhere in another country where people work for peanuts making poor quality shoes and it becomes a marvellous hand-me-down that will probably do about 5 hand-me-down rounds before it finally gets given to Butch the chihuahua as a toy.

and that is how we can promote wildlife through fashion - can't help it!
