Monkeyhouse Goes Guerilla

We’re sure you L.A. kids and parents who live on the east side remember Monkeyhouse Toys, the cool store that had unusual toys, handmade goods, a great book section and art shows. Well, guess what? They’ve opened a pop-up store in Silver Lake just in time for the holidays! Monkeyhouse still carries some favorites: diy toys, Rodys, Mr Toast plush and books, fun science kits and craft projects. But, they also have some brand new stuff as well like ninja matryoshka sets, Brew it Yourself Root beer kits, guitar pick jewelry kits, recycled crayons, robot cupcake holders, and more! Make an impression with your gifts this year and give hip, unique items from Monkeyhouse.

New Christmas Song by Lucky Diaz and the Family Jam Band!

We’re proud to say we were one of the “early” fans of Lucky Diaz and the Family Jam Band and now we’re even more excited to share their new Christmas single “UNDER THE TREE!” A refreshing addition to the beloved stable of ubiquitous holiday songs this season, Lucky Diaz and his signature kindie rock-style has the entire L.A. Kid Stuff household bopping and rocking along to this cool tune that we’re sure will become a holiday classic someday! Download the song for 99 cents on iTunes HERE and do good while you’re at it because 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the PABLOVE Foundation to fund pediatric cancer research and improve the quality of life for children living with cancer through music and arts programs. Now that’s something we can get behind and jump and down for!
