Last night I experimented with making chocolate letters in the Letter Ice silicone molds. They turned out so cute! I just used milk chocolate chips, which I melted in the microwave. I filled the molds almost to the top, then topped them off with some festive sprinkles. I let them set-up in the fridge for 20 minutes or so, then easily popped them out of the molds. They look great on a plate: …or individually packaged to hand out to friends or tie on top of some special gifts: My family has been enjoying them, so I’ll have to make another batch for giving! On a side note, if you are planning to make any gift purchases from the Let’s Explore Shop, I am recommending you place your order by tomorrow (12/16/08), so your items can reach you in a timely manner. Thanks! Happy playing and gifting! See less

The weather is already heating up and I've started dipping into my summer bag of tricks. This last weekend, we hunted for treasures frozen in ice. Natalie had specifically requested diamonds and shells. We ended up using some glass marbles from the craft store, including some clear "diamonds" and a variety of shells too. I like to freeze my ice block in layers, so there are treasures hidden throughout. I ended up with three layers in this one. We used a variety of treasure-excavating tools: salt, spray bottles with water, droppers + warm water, and toothbrushes. The girls easily worked away at this for 45 minutes, till every last treasure was collected. Other fun treasures to freeze: coins, plastic animals, polished rocks You can also freeze individual treasures in ice cubes for quicker treasure-hunting adventures. Using colored water in the spray bottles is fun too! I know we will be doing this activity many times this summer! Happy playing! See less

Thanks for the idea! We've been trying this game at home with some new twists. First, we limit our playing space to a chess board (painted on a tabletop. One item goes in each square. Second, we started by just passing the bowl of items around and letting each person pick what they wanted. Later, to make it more difficult, we parceled out equal number of items to each player, as though we were playing cards. When your turn comes, you can only play from your own personal little pile of stuff. With lots of items and limited space, this method gets pretty tricky (and exciting!) toward the end of the game. A couple of photos of us playing an early version of this game is blogged at everydaysnippets.com Thanks again! See less

Light and its emotional perception, are key elements in creating ambience and mood. Hettich addresses lighting design with its new "Lite inside" program. For many years Hettich has offered lighting to the retail and trade sectors with its Magic product range. Due to increased demand from the industry for lighting, Hettich introduces "Lite inside" to combine interesting lighting ideas to highlight furniture. Hettich’s new illuminated garment/coat rail uses LED technology. The advantages of this technology include low heat build-up, long life, constant light output, robustness and a minimum spatial requirement. Because "Lite inside" is battery operated, the cordless lighting is quick and easy to install, and it can also be retrofitted by the end user. The garment/coat rail is available in different lengths to meet individual needs. The light in the garment rail makes it easier to see clothes inside the closet. After a short time, the light automatically switches itself off again. "Lite... See less

The Biombo Chair is an idea whose simplicity makes it seem obvious. The wood chair, built over a hinged wood structure, when not in use is a folding screen (Biombo). The surface of the seat can be engraved with a graphic image that transforms it into a decorative object when folded flat. To turn it into a chair, you simply take it off and get all origami. This would have been perfect in that loft I briefly lived in years ago. The open space was great for working but there was hardly any seating when guests visited, which meant my bed became a couch.

Many times we have found ourselves in a restaurant, café, or even a public library without a secure place to hang our jackets or hand bags. We either uncomfortably hang our belongings on a public coat rack, or across the back of our chair for the world to see. With “Chair Wardrobe”, we can confidently place our belongings in a secure location and keep them within reach. The “Chair Wardrobe” is a design concept by Erohina Yulia that allows for the outside of the chair to appear as a normal chair, but the secret is the inside storage or wardrobe for your special items. The design is made of two different colored plastics signifying the double features of the chair. The choice to use different wood or textiles is also available. See less
