In case you didn't get the memo, learning can be fun and stylish. Don't believe us? Just take a look at Christian Robinson's collaboration with Target. The beloved illustrator has made a name for himself by depicting childhood wonder in books like You Matter, Another, and, of course, Meghan Markle's [1] The Bench. And — thanks to his and Target's new line of children's clothing, accessories [2], and home decor — you can finally take his work off the pages of your little one's favourite tome and into their day-to-day life.
At first glance, Robinson's new Target collaboration is proof that there is nothing cuter than children's clothes and furniture. (And rightfully so.) But, when you'll look a little closer, you'll realise that the entire line is filled with microscopes, letters, and animals, allowing your kiddos to learn something new along the way. Oh, and did we mention that, in true Target fashion, everything's reasonably priced?! Since you don't want to snooze on this drop, we've hand-selected 14 of our favourite pieces to add to your cart.
