We’ve all read the bumper sticker ‘Magic Happens!’ – I’ve always been quite skeptical about that notion, and then I had kids and a whole world of magic unfolded. Yes, some days I feel a little like the wicked witch and everything seems to go wrong around me… but most days, I soak in the aura of childhood my kidlets omit and I feel content. Their innocent perspective on everything, their awe of the world, and their optimism which fills our days with laughter are a little surreal to the adult me… they are just so magical!
Raplapla – www.raplapla.com - a little Montreal-based cloth toy company is full of whimsical creatures and dolls. They smile all day, even after a wash, and are superbly cute despite not having a neck, ears, elbows, knees or even a nose. Raplaplas might just come alive at night when you’re asleep to dance a jig, or snoop around; they’re magical like that.
The Raplapla collection starts at around $34.00 with postage available direct to Australia. You can even order your very own one-of-a-kind model. Perhaps one of your kidlets drawings will provide inspiration, or a favourite item of clothing can be used to make part of the Raplapla rag doll – the magical possibilities await you!
