Francophile Fun

Tuesday, March 6th, 2012

Looking to add some foreign flair to your kid’s room? Add a Parisian punch to your chambre d’enfant with these quintessentially-French toys.

These plush petit fours (Haba, $15 for 9) look sweet enough to eat. Little ones can pretend to nosh on these little cakes while sipping imaginary cappuccinos at a playtime tea party.

Take a sight seeing tour with this set of magnetic puzzles (Vilac, $30 for 3). Kiddos can build landmarks including the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, and historic Montmarte. The playful pieces have a sketch-like quality that recalls doodles by Picasso and Matisse—two of the artists who were inspired by daily life in the City of Lights.

Darling hat and scarf? Check. Cozy peacoat? Oui! This wall decal (French Blossom, 69€) is très chic. Stick the monsieur on a brightly-colored wall for a little joie de vivre.
