Description:

For those who may not be aware, kidcore is a name that is used for an aesthetic/art style that is based on nostalgia and retro vibes.

Common motifs in Kidcore visuals are bright colors frequently used on children's toys, most frequently highly saturated versions of the traditional primary colors (red, yellow, and blue), playgrounds, stuffed animals such as Beanie Babies and TY, robot pets like Furbies, Lisa Frank artwork, rainbows, and other kid themes. Other common themes involved in Kidcore include:

  • Books
  • Colorful bookshelves
  • Watercolors and detailed linework
  • Rabbits, squirrels and mice
  • Balloons
  • Alphabet blocks
  • Fidget toys
  • Frogs
  • Furby
  • Tamagotchi
  • Ball pits
  • Beds in weird shapes, like cars
  • Balloons
  • Stuffed animals, such as Webkinz and Beanie Boos
  • Carnivals/circuses and clowns

The entire article is worth a read if this sounds like something you'd be into, but you didn't know it had a name.


For this swap, we will be mailing 3 flat kidcore-themed items to one partner in a kidcore-themed envelope. Items can be storebought or handmade. Be as creative as you want in interpretation of the theme! This isn't a swap to get nitpicky over what your partner sends as long as there is effort.

Please rate when received. International. Must have 10 completed/rated type 2 or 3 swaps. I will angel if necessary.

Please message me directly if you have any questions. Have fun and happy swapping!
