Human-Sized Bird's Nest of the Day

Human-Sized Bird’s Nest of the Day: The Giant Birdsnest from O*GE was designed to be a multi-purpose creativity space for “creating new ideas.”

Part furniture, part playground, the inspiration incubator comfortably seats 16 and “needs no explanation or user manual”: Do whatever you want inside, just clean up after you’re done.

Upgraded Childhood of the Day

Upgraded Childhood of the Day: Artist Yayoi Kusama made a whole bunch of dreams come true for kids in Australia by letting them run wild with stickers inside her “domestic installation” at the Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane.

Last month, the museum’s youngest visitors were invited to give Kusama’s white space a colorful makeover, and they happily obliged.

The result — dubbed The Obliteration Room — is currently on display through March 12th as part of the artist’s Look Now, See Forever exhibition.

Upgraded Childhood of the Day

Upgraded Childhood of the Day: While we patiently await the commercial availability of the device that turns drawings into toys, Child’s Own Studio has taken matters into its own hands — literally — designing stuffed animals from crudely-drawn illustrations sent in by children.

Cost depends on how labor-intensive the doll is, and is provided on a case by case basis. Each toy takes approximately 2-to-4 weeks to produce, but can be rushed if you absolutely must have it yesterday.

A sudden surge in traffic has the company’s site down for the count, but, mercifully, their Flickr photostream is still online.

There is one important thing the Child’s Own Studio FAQ page neglected to answer: What does Maddox think about all this?
