Design Concept for MrMonkey

I need a design concept mockup for a homepage for MrMonkey. The store is for a range of educational toys and products for 2-10 year olds and the name of the brand is Mr Monkey. We have attached details of the brand guidelines which includes the logo and recommended colours and fonts. We have had a template designed already (also attached), but we think the current template is rather boring - we want something funkier and more striking. Our thinking is we should have something like a chalk board background and we like the logo on a dark background (like on the first page of the brand guidelines). However we understand that the store must be attractive to kids and parents so we expect it will be somewhat colourful. We want something creative and bold but still highly functional. We are looking to have one of the best kids toys websites in the world! We are not looking for a half-hearted effort, this must be your best design work. We would love to hear any ideas and suggestions you may have about what you think would work. Please add any details that you think are AMAZING when you bid. Regarding features here are things we think should be included on the templates. Homepage Strong logo use, perhaps by itself at top of page, not lost amongst nav bar Gift/product finder with age, gender and price slider Ability to select products by age categories Carousel? Strong use of USP's - free shipping, free returns etc. We want this page to be AMAZING! Feel free to make it a bit different
