Some of the most rewarding moments of the work we do at Duck Duck Moose comes from the feedback we get from other parents and from the connections we make with other artists, app developers and educators. As a creative person, I just love meeting other creative types and hearing more about their creative process [...]

For toddlers who are eager to learn, try Old MacDonald, Itsy Bitsy [...]

have been thinking a lot about nurseries this week since my BFF asked me to participate the in design of the nursery for her newest addition — a boy (a request I am sure her husband will come to regret once he sees what expensive taste I have). So this week’s Weekend Round-up is [...]

have no idea what’s in the water this week, but it has been a banner week for press. We at Duck Duck Moose are over the moon about all the exciting coverage (not your typical week to be sure).
Here are some of the exciting tidbits:

have decided to add a new feature to our blog called “Weekend Round-up” where I can post all the items/design I have been drooling over during the week. This week’s focus is design for children.
Little Animals:
I am a sucker for sustainable handmade dolls — the more character they have, the more I love [...]

Today’s Word of the Week is:
cracktastic.
Pronunciation: \ˈkrak-tas-tik\
As in: Peanut Butter Pows are so cracktastic that when I make the (exceedingly) stupid decision to purchase them I often find that I am unable to ingest any other food until the box is empty.
At least they have 11 essential minerals and vitamins, so I got [...]

K, I admit it, I am obsessed. You may ask what I am NOT obsessed with and that is actually a very fair question. It is a professional hazard to covet all things beautiful. This time, however, it isn’t a trendy piece of ridonculously expensive furniture, but…and I am almost ashamed to admit this…chickens.

The Beaux Arts-style Presidio Heights mansion is now on sale for a pittance of 19 million [...]

spent two fantastic days at the Dust or Magic AppCamp in Asilomar. I talked about “How We Turned a Nursery Rhyme into a Best Selling App” (check out our 2009 presentation), and spent two enlightening days with some of the best and brightest in children’s interactive media – child development experts, educators, other [...]

am trying to get my blog mojo back after a little bit of a hiatus. I have lots of good things to write about this month — Caroline attended the annual Dust or Magic Conference co-hosted by Warren Buckleitner of Children’s Technology Review where we presented our new app Fish School (for iPhone) [...]

Mother Goose is a favorite in our house. Both my two- and four-year-old girls keep taking out our Mother Goose nursery rhyme books, and can recite their favorites. I’ve realized that nursery rhymes fill each and every day of preschoolers. When putting on shoes, it’s “One shoe on and one shoe off, [...]

I love Etsy (I mean, who doesn’t?) I recently read an article about how it was started as a hobby by a guy who wanted to provide his crafty-type friends a place to post their beautiful creations — and then it grew and grew beyond his wildest expectations. Now you can pretty much [...]

We have had a lot going on at Duck Duck Moose in the past two months. C and M’s older daughter recently turned 4 years old (how fast time goes) — Happy birthday Elizabeth! Michael has been burning the candle at both ends by juggling his job at a start-up, concerts with his trio and [...]
