Dinosaurs

 

Both kids and adults have been drawn to dinosaurs for years. Maybe that’s why both Mudpuppy and The American Museum of Natural History are showcasing these extinct creatures.

The American Museum of Natural History currently has a special exhibit, “The World’s Largest Dinosaurs”, dedicated to our pre-historic friends.

The special exhibit, open till January 2^nd, 2012, lets you learn all about sauropods. Sauropods are known for their long necks and long tails.You can spot these dinosaurs on almost all of our Mudpuppy dinosaur products.

See them roam in our 100 Piece and Floor puzzles.

 
Or take them on your own adventure with a Mini Playscene or Create-A-Card.
Who isn't fascinated with dinosaurs? Hurry in to see “The World’s Largest Dinosaurs” and grab a puzzle before they, too, become extinct.

For the Birds - Happy Birthday John Audubon

John James Audubon was an ornithologist who loved studying and drawing birds; he would have been 226 years old today!    

It seems that Audubon’s fondness for birds has carried over to Galison/Mudpuppy as well; we have over 30 different products featuring birds!We have realistic hummingbirds and robins, to more whimsical little blue birds and owls!
Maybe if John Audubon were around today he would be writing on one of our very own Galison Rosehip Fliptop Note Cards?We hope it's not all for the Birds; Happy Birthday John Audubon!

Dandelions

Dandelions appear in sidewalk cracks and lawns across the country every spring. Some of us think of dandelions as a weed, or nuisance, and try as hard as we can to get rid of them, but maybe we should start looking at dandelions in a new light.

  Dandelion greens can be eaten and are quite healthy for you; you’ve probably had some in your mesclun salad mix. And the flowers can be used to make dandelion wine or even jelly.  

Galison didn’t venture into the jelly making field, but we did use the dandelion as inspiration for some of our stationery.

We hope the bright yellow pattern will make you feel like your outdoors, running in a dandelion field.

And maybe the dandelion isn’t a “weed” after all!
