These maps are incredibly cool. I’ve bought a few now for the kids of some close friends and family.

They’re amazing art and a great way for a kid to see all the important people in her/his life in one fun place. They make great conversation starters for kids to relate to all the people they know and love in their lives.

From the photos, it’s hard to see just how beautiful these maps are. They’re great!

My kids love their maps, and they are very different ages. The twins are 3 and the eldest is nearly 8. We are all fascinated, actually — even my husband, myself, and visiting friends.

The Kidlandia site was better than I expected. My kids (ages 5 to 10) used to love to review the names of their relatives and they still like maps, so it’s a solid concept. Some suggestions:

1. Add more personalization to the map; work favorite food, hobbies, other specifics into the scroll text.

2. Add personalized story books to the product line; books make better gifts than wall hangings and can help develop the Kidlandia characters.

3. Add a castle that can be furnished (like rooms on Webkinz) which will keep kids coming back and drive merchandise sales.

4. Promote the site via mom bloggers; start an affiliate program to entice them.

Overall, good concept and easy-to-use site. I will recommend Kidlandia and follow its progress.

I gather you don’t have kids. Why isn’t there more cool stuff for parents & our children? This fills a real need. At least at my house!

We got one for our baby and it turned out awesome (with really heavy canvas and strong colors)- so good that we decided it needs to be nicely framed. We’ve turned a couple friends onto it and they’re going to get some for their kids as well since the maps and characters are so unique.

That webkins stuff is spendy, these people really know how to soak the youth. Probably a good investment.

my 10 year old daughter owns “cartoonsia.com” and we have been planning to build something out as a dad/daughter project.

this would have been a good one. we will probably fall back on a buddypress install…but we’ll see.

Kidlandia is a great example of how print-on-demand enables affordable customization of creative products for consumers. A smart use of technology to bring a product to a large audience that would have been out of reach for most people just a few years ago.

I might have chosen a name that sounded less creepy and paedophilia oriented than “Kidlandia”.
