After welcoming daughter Maggie in 2006, actress Kellie Martin made it her mission to go back to basics in the toy department.

“We weren’t doing any plastic or battery toys, but I was having trouble finding stuff,” she recalls.

Fortunately, a chance encounter with a photographer during a photo shoot introduced Martin to an online store filled with all the goodies she had been searching for.

An instant fan — the new mom‘s first purchase was a wooden camera for her little girl — Martin was devastated when she discovered that her new favorite hot spot would be closing it’s doors.

“[I thought], ‘I can’t let it close!’” she says, immediately calling her husband. “I said right away, ‘I think we should buy it.’”

Now the proud owner of Romp, Martin has relaunched the online store and stocked the virtual aisles with a wide variety of super cool (and cute!) wooden toys, fun art kits, and kiddie chic room decor.

Encouraging creative play, the children’s boutique concentrates on everything from teaching your babe their letters with the handcrafted Abc Blocks ($36) to letting their imaginations soar with the pint-size Mail Set ($52) and the Dress-Up Masks ($24).

Plus, from the adorable Tree Wallpaper Silhouette ($325) to the H-Luv Rain Clouds ($46) turning your child’s room into a whimsical play space just got a while lot easier.

With seven kids from toddler to teen, design duo Cortney and Robert Novogratz are experts at keeping creative spaces organized and clutter-free. To share the secret of their success, the stars of HGTV’s Home By Novogratz recently teamed up with LEGO to champion homes that unleash tots’ imaginations — according to a LEGO Friends survey, 71 percent of parents think the design of a child’s room impacts creativity.

At an event at their cutting-edge, kid-friendly NYC pad on May 17 (filled with cool, custom LEGO installations like a turquoise chair), the design-driven parents talked about the importance of giving each small fry a space of her own.

“It’s important to give each child their own workspace and play space filled with materials designed to help express their ideas in a productive and inspirational way, like art and craft supplies and construction toys,” Cortney says.

The number one bedroom request by kids: More space to play and hang out. Get little ones as young as 5 involved in the process (which will make them more inclined to look after their stuff) and follow a few Novogratz-approved tips: Leave plenty of floor space open for playing and hanging out, make sure storage is accessible to kids, have fun decorating with bold colors, and show off creations and collections with shelves or pin boards.

Looking for a little design inspiration? Check out the Novogratz’s mood board (below) and pick up some great ideas to use in your babe’s bedroom.

He’s got a way with words!

On May 15, actress Selma Blair kept a tight grip on son Arthur Saint while visiting family in Los Angeles, Calif.

But aside from the 9-month-old’s cute chubby legs, we had our eye on his super hip onesie.

After a bit of digging, we discovered Arthur’s wearing Hank & JoJo‘s Urban First Words Shoe Bodysuit ($28).

Channeling the sights of city streets, the 100-percent organic bodysuits feature five different words and their corresponding picture.

And it turns out Arthur isn’t the brand’s only fan.

New mom Tia Mowry took to Twitter to spread the love — and share a sweet snapshot! — of 10-month-old Cree in his snazzy tie onesie. “Cree loves his shirt!” she tweeted.

When Todd Oldham‘s Kid Made Modern hit the market in 2009, the public’s response — from the kids to the parents! — was astounding, to say the least.

And with the arts and crafts book filled with fun do-it-yourself projects that were perfect for the whole family, Oldham’s next endeavor couldn’t have been more obvious.

“The next step was to find a partner to make actual art supplies,” he tells PEOPLE.

Fortunately, Target was the answer Oldham had been looking for; The company agreed to the launch of the Kid Made Modern collection, which includes an array of 48 different affordable (everything is under $20!) art supplies and kits.

“My main inspiration for the Kid Made Modern collection is to celebrate the joy of creativity through art and craft,” Oldham says

So just how creative did the designer get with his masterpieces? “One crayon has 64 colors within it and because it’s faceted on the sides, you have all these bright color-defined edges you can draw across the paper,” he explains.

Plus, as if that weren’t enough, all of the jewelry making kits are packaged in super cool lunch boxes that can be used even after the project has been completed.

The collection will be available on May 20, both in stores and on Target.com.
