and we're nailin' it!
We had a special order last month for name blocks. The blocks we made for this order were to be signed as a guest book at a shower! We love that idea! I have letter blocks that spell LUCIAN on a shelf in his room. I looked for letters at lots of antique stores before […]
We have been working on identifying shapes with Brooks and he loves building and knocking right now so these shape blocks bring a lot of fun and learning. Also, since we have sets of numbers and letters in the shop, I wanted to add shapes to this collection as well. I wanted these to be […]
This has been a project I have been thinking about for a while now! I finally decided to sit down and design it. I am so happy I did, I really love the way these turned out! Brooks talks about the weather a lot from the sun, rain, clouds, wind, and storms. With this project […]
This week, we took Lucian and a friend to the Science Center to see some dinosaurs. They had a blast and we have been talking a lot about dinosaurs around here. Lucian’s favorite is the long neck! Of course, this was the inspiration for my project this week. If you are like us, you have […]
We thought it would be fun to share some building sets that we love with you. We will not be sharing plain wooden blocks, plain DUPLOS or any other common blocks; not because we don’t love those, WE DO! But, we wanted to share some you may not have tried out yet! PLUS PLUS Blocks: […]
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 […]
This is an educational toy I have been thinking about making for a while now. Brooks is not developmentally ready for it quite yet but he loves the blocks and he stacks them on the seesaw. I thought about putting it away until he is ready for it but think I am going to leave […]
This project came about as I thought about how much I loved to build when I was younger: with blocks, legos, sand, etc. and combine that with the joy I have from memories of doing puzzles with my grandmother! This is a combination of building and putting a puzzle together. I chose to do a […]
We love animals and Brooks has started showing an interest in chickens and ducks! He LOVES saying “bok bok” and duck. He has gotten where every time we pull in the driveway he says duck and we have to look to see if the ducks/geese are out. He carries the animals for his farm puzzle […]
