Art review & giveaway: Hello Hanna – Hello Books

Many of this weeks post are dedicated to creative art products. I come across tons of products online and naturally some stand out to me more than others. Unique ideas always catch my eye but I tend to gravitate towards products that simply make me smile.

Hello Hanna is a site that I instantly fell in love with. Two friends, Anne Schultz & Jina Choi, started this San Francisco based company. Their products are colorful and compact. Their designs are simple and perfect for kids. I envy people who have great ideas!

Hello Hanna offers Get-Set Placemats (great for keeping kids busy when your eating out!), Hello Books, Sweet Stands and Wishing Trees. We received the three Hello Books: Robot Mission, Princess Castle and Monkey Business to review. The Hello Books allow you to build your own stories on an accordion fold book. Each book includes 5 sheets of removable stickers, a sheet of inspirational ideas plus the folded book and an envelope. Teagan’s favorite was the Robot Mission. We had fun selecting and building the stickers characters and objects. There are balloon thought stickers that you can use. Teagan instructed me on what to write. Then we took turns narrating and acting out her story.

Robot Mission Sticker Sheets

Each book retails for $10.95. These books would make a nice stocking stuffer (I’m already thinking ahead!) or could make a nice piece of art in your child’s room. Also, they could make a nice gift to the grandparents. Don’t forget that each card comes with it’s own envelope. The Hello Books let you have your own adventure by decorating, creating, designing and write your own story!
