Modern Holiday Gifts for Kids

New York’s Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) is one of my favorite sites to visit for creative inspiration and I wanted to highlight a special section that may be of interest to Born Modern Baby readers. If you haven’t visited their online store, make sure to put it on your to-do list in the near future! MoMA’s fabulous collection of modern children’s toys is quite extensive and you’re sure to find a wonderful item to add to your kids’ toy collection this holiday season.

A few items on the museum’s online store represent an impressive MoMA exhibition which you can visit from that particular product page. Here, you can learn all about the inspiration behind the product. Think of it as taking a piece of a MoMA exhibit home with you! For example, the Spectrum Mobile is a product selected in the online store that is meant to coincide with the ‘Color Chart: Reinventing Color, 1950 to Today’ exhibit.

Spectrum Mobile $20
Spectrum Crib Mobile
Zolo A Go-Go $36
Modern Play Sculpture Contemporary Dollhouse $130 (furniture & dolls not included)
Modern Dollhouse
Double Rainbow Maker $35
Crystal Rainbow Maker
Chair Game $20
