Prismania from Brinca Dada is one of five new "Colortoys" that allow children to explore some of the basic properties of color (hue and intensity) while developing their fine motor skills and learning to think in three-dimensions. Prismania was designed by renowned toy designer and early childhood education expert, Karen Hewitt of Learning Materials Workshop. Previously available to schools and other educational institutions, Prismania is now available to the public through a partnership with Brinca Dada. <p style="text-align:right;color:#A8A8A8"></p>

The Treehouse at Yale by Griffin Collier
Two New Goals: Lumber Upgrade: If we make it to $10,500, we'll be able to upgrade the decking of the treehouse. We are now looking at a number of naturally resistant soft and hardwoods. Instead of pressure treated pine, The Treehouse could have a beautiful redwood deck. If we reach $10,500, Every Backer will receive a set of professional photographs of the finished structure. Free Transportation: If we reach $11,000, transportation to the site will be arranged from New Haven to Yale Myers and back for every ticket-holder of the ribbon-cutting ceremony.Beloved of middle class parents everywhere – if not their kids – wooden toys have largely looked to the past. With oilrigs, satellites and container ships, Papa Foxtrot is hoping to change all that. Papa Foxtrot will be a new toy brand from London-based design studio Postlerferguson . As a taste of things to come, the studio has launched its Wooden Giants series, comprising models of the Emma Maersk, Arctic Princess and TI Asia, three of the largest cargo ships in the world. "We are planning to take today's most fascinating and amazing technological achievements, like submarines, satellites, windmills, oilrigs amongst others and make them part of a growing collection of wooden toys which we will produce in small batches (for now)," explains Postlerferguson's Martin Postler.

Campaign is a young and dynamic East-London based design workshop with an impressive portfolio. Their projects already include commissions for Burberry, as well as work with temporary structures and the retail sector, such as a pop-up store for Dr. Martens in Spitalfields Market and a temporary installation for Dunhill during New York Fashion Week earlier this year. Their Foldaway Bookshop project for this summer's LFA began as an initiative by Claire Curtice publicists and its aim was to engage London's architects. Designed in three weeks and constructed within three days from 58 sheets of cardboard, Foldaway was managed and stocked by RIBA Bookshops.

Who says you cannot become the host of your very own pop-up movie theatre? Just book a room, put up a big screen, build a seating theatre from cardboard and you are set. While you are at it, you might as well make the seating interesting. Don’t just pile up square boxes upon boxes but have some creative fun and allow the audience to experiment and experience different ways of sitting, lounging and viewing the screen. Can this be done? It has been done in temporary museum and exhibition settings so why not at home or at the office?
