Monstrum's play structures will make you wish you were a kid again


Monstrum is a Danish company that designs and produces distinctly delightful playgrounds with a focus on artistic and architectural quality. Looking at the photos, it looks like the colorful wooden structures do a pretty good job of promoting imaginative play.

There's a giant slide shaped like a dragon, a massive eel wrapped around a lighthouse, and, my favorite, the large playground for Kristinebergs Slottspark in Stockholm. It features a pair of giant owls, huge mushrooms and flowers, stairs and ladders to climb on, and enormous creepy crawlers. I loved playgrounds as a kid. Now that I have two children, I have a renewed interest in them.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

Thai artist paints on mosquito nets

I find them quite intriguing, these ghostly portraits that Uttaporn Nimmalaikaew paints on mosquito nets. His creations look like a hologram, changing form depending on where the viewer stands. Overall, they're gloomy, haunting, and endlessly fascinating. I could stare at them for ages. [h/t: Colossal ]

This app will motivate your kids to read

ReadOn is a free mobile app that entices children to read. Every time a child turns on their mobile device, the first thing they see is a page of a children's book. The child has to read it, understand it, and then answer a question before the device is unlocked. The app was developed for Mexico but will be available worldwide.
