TOYPOGRAPHY
In the very unlikely event that I settle down with a nice somebody and become a stroller-pushing father, I would want my little gaggle of giggles to be multilingual like myself. And what better way of them being so by combining two of my favorite subjects – linguistics and typography – into one extremely cute and adorable toy?
Sexy stationery and furniture company Kokuyo has come out with a wonderfully clever toy for kids of all ages: Toypography, toy blocks that spell out an animal in English and, when taken apart and rearranged, will spell out representative Kanji and pictorial interpretations.
So very cute, and the perfect toy/present for that type lover.

really cool, if not impractical. i doubt even a chinee could convert "bear" into its kanji in less than 15 minutes.
