We had a blast working on Todd's amazing book Handmade Modern a few years back. Flipping through Kid Made Modern makes us wish we could have been there for this one as well. 52 amazingly creative and playful projects inspired by icons of mid-century modern design?! Heck Yes! Sign us up!! From the publisher: Designer Todd Oldham shares his love and admiration of mid-century design ideas and translates them into creative, colorful, and thoughtful projects for kids.
