and we're nailin' it!
This project came to mind after Brooks and I took a trip to Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden to see the butterflies in their butterfly pavilion exhibit. We were able to see the eggs, caterpillars (larvae), Chrysalis (pupa), and butterflies. It was really neat and I started thinking about making something to help teach life cycles […]
I really enjoyed making the key teethers and we LOVE animals around our house! So I wanted to try out some woodland animals for teethers too. Owls are one of my favorites so it made sense this would be one of the woodland animals I tried out! I am loving the way these turned out! […]
I really enjoy making the push and pull toys! Brooks is really loving things he can push around more and more! He LOVES trains and anything that goes so this was a fun addition to the other push/pull toys I have made! How perfect that I found this Thomas hat today when I was finishing […]
I decided to design these key teether toys because Brooks LOVED his plastic teether keys we had when he was a baby! He also still really loves keys so I thought this would be a fun project to make as a teether/toy! These are approximately 5 and 1/2 inches tall by 2 1/2 – 3 […]
I LOVE gardening and watching my plants and vegetables grow! This is something I hope to include Brooks in every year, he helped me a good bit this year! I usually plant seeds and keep them inside until it is warm enough and they are big enough to transport outside. So he helped me plant […]
The numbers project was a request from one of our frequent shoppers on Etsy. She purchased Alphabet Fun and wanted numbers to go with it! We love doing custom work for people so this was a fun one to create and Brooks enjoys playing with them too! We have been working on numbers lately and […]
We have been working on numbers and colors with Brooks and I love puzzles! I wanted to make a puzzle that would combine both colors and numbers! He is really interested in squirrels lately and loves collecting acorns too! This puzzle has numbers 1-10. The corresponding acorn has the same number of circles under it […]
Brooks has been very interested in Finding Nemo, Fishing, Turtles, Whales, and Octopuses. I have been wanting to make him items for a sensory bin for a while and thought this would be the perfect opportunity to make him a sea themed sensory bin! We made our own Kinetic Sand using the recipe from Hello […]
These Look What I Made signs have been on my radar for a long time! I knew I wanted to make these to hang Brooks’ art work on around the house! I tried some different woods with these as well as what we usually use Birch. The purple wood is called Purpleheart, it is not […]
I really enjoy making the build a puzzles and Brooks has been really interested in bees lately so I decided to make this one! This was the second of two designs, the first one had too many pieces and they were smaller than what I imagined when designing it. So back to the drawing board […]
