Spark The Imagination of Your Young Novelist with Rory's Story Cubes

/
On The World of Kitsch I like to support local ventures, and local to me is Northern Ireland. Rory's Story Cubes is an NI born idea that has gone worldwide. A simple premise, cleverly packaged & something your children will want to get their hands on instead of another online game (although there is a Story Cubes iPhone app!)
www.StoryCubes.com

A neat little box containing nine cubes, with nine imagination sparking doodles, ready to roll. Then it's up to you. Take it in turns to form a story from the 54 pictures, truly a game for all ages and wonderful for encouraging story writing in school age children.

I got my hands on the new 'Voyages' set, and my four year old loves them. He's even used them as little building blocks. Will be in my handbag from now on for keeping him busy in restaurants or on long journeys.

Grab a set at http://www.thecreativityhub.com/shop for £9.99 Or search 'Story Cubes' on the iPhone App Store to get going straight away.

Very British T-shirts. Alternative Jubilee Wear

/
I saw my Twitter friend @CrazyColours' son Ashton wearing this cool t-shirt for a school Jubilee party.

It's from www.RedBubble.com which I hadn't heard of before, but I'm glad @CrazyColours pointed me in their direction.

Here are some more British style tshirts. Hope you can get all the references.

The World of Kitsch Jubilee Weekend Indie Disco

/
Hello. The World of Kitsch has got Spotify (3 years after everyone else).

I decided to make a playlist of my favourite songs, which seems to turn up a trend of northern European indie-electro-man-bands. Now you can hear the World of Kitsch!

The fact there is a Royksopp cover of Queen's of the Stoneage on there means you should definitely listen. P.S. Soulwax, make another band album.
