Toys taking over the world!



Having spent the best part of the day tidying up Jacob's toys I can finally see my living room floor - a rare event these days thanks to Jacob's ever widening sprawl from his toy box!

In our house it often seems as though his toys are taking over a little.  It's a feeling you get from experiencing the amazing work of Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman.

His work involves working with local communities to transform public spaces by constructing truly amazing, and gigantic children's toys.

If you're interesting in seeing his work then check out his site here.  I can't wait for him to come to the UK.
