Ugly Dolls, Angry Birds…what happened to friendly, agreeable toys? We want some smiling, happy faces that still have a graphic edge.
Luckily, we don’t have to look too far thanks to Coucou Salut. This local company was founded by Shannon Adolph, an illustrator who uses the brightest and boldest textiles as a backdrop for her whimsical designs. The collection includes dolls ($15) perfect to play with, organic cotton onesies and T-shirts to wear ($35) and pillows ($32) to brighten up any space. We especially love the Myopic Monster as a confidence booster for little kids who’ve recently starting sporting glasses.
Things are definitely looking positive with these kid-friendly, parent-pleasing designs.
