We recently finished the basement, and with the basement came the much needed playroom. I wanted to decorate the playroom with a simple, classic look. Something fun, friendly, and not overwhelming. Like all design "students" I tore pages and pages from catalogs and books. And the look I kept finding was a border of letter cards. Simple. Classic.

The cards are by eeboo, a company known for creating beautiful, well-made products for children. Among their products, you'll find gorgeous maps of the US and world (also adorning our playroom walls), educational toys and travel games. There are several themes, from baseball to history to animals to good habits.

The wall cards are sturdy--not quite heavy, but much thicker than cardstock. Their laminated surface doesn't shine, but is more of a matte laminate. I chose to hang mine with a tacky-gum you can find in craft stores and Home Depot stores, but they'll look great on a moulding shelf as well.

Another eeboo favorite in our family are the Matching games. Matching is very "in" in our house right now, so my 3-year-old is loving his games. Many games are age appropriate for kids around 3-4, some are for the "older" kids. So if you're beginning your holiday shopping, you may have only one stop to make when it comes to classy and quiet gifts (we're attempting a breather from the loud games and toys).

eeboo products are available at Genius Babies where you can use code mommies5 for $5.00 off any order of $30 or more.
