“I am a married, stay at home mom to 5 great kids. They are my inspiration for almost all of my craft ideas and projects. I am a former High School Science Teacher (Human Biology and Biology) and love teaching and learning new things” says Amy Huntley.

Everything started like a game looking at her kids and now she’d created an amazing blog for everyday life ideas, making new items from recycled ones too. With a great community she’d decided then to sell for just few dollars her unique tutorials to make mums’s life easier: they can spend time with kids always creating something funny and new! Have a look at the above idea “from a stuffed animal into an Easter Basket” and the 2 fantastic below:

For all the tutorial details have a look at the Amy Huntley”s blog

As explained in her website “[re]design is a social enterprise that propagates sustainable actions through design”. She seeks out products and projects that are friendly to people and planet. [re]design is partner with a wide range of organisations to pioneer sustainable innovation, promoting their ideas and acitvities,

[re]design has just token place at 100% Design in Earl’s Court with an imaginative exhibition called “Doing it for the kids”. As you can just imagine, it was a show of a lot of fantastic products about sustainable play design. The project explored play types, the importance of play in child development, how toys help mould our kids’ values and how they impact on the environment. All the play resources shown in this surprising exhibition can inspire designers, educators and parents to be more critical and creative.

Almost fifty designers have given their interpretation about what it is re-design philosophy in childhood world, in a great stand made in paperboard, that looked like an enormous box of toys just opened on the floor. In “Doing it for the kids” album in Flickr you can see a few of images.

Now “Doing it for the kids” will move to other cities, with a tour that we hope long and successful. From 16 to 25 October it will be in Newcastle, from 19 to 21 November in Birmingham.
