If only shopping could be a more cerebral experience. Sure, sweaters can be stimulating, but you’d like a little more composition with your kid’s cords.

Get the best of both worlds: Park Slope boutique Pink Olive presents “Somersaults,” original acrylics-on-wood by Brooklyn-based artist Kristiana Parn. Inspired by Parn’s childhood in Estonia, the whimsical style centers around arctic animals like polar bears and foxes. And the picture-book feel of her happy fish, birds and bunnies are a natural addition to a nursery or child’s bedroom.

Next stop: MoMA Design Store.

When: Through 12/31/08.
Where: 167 5th Ave., Brooklyn, 718-398-2016, pinkoliveboutique.com.
