If you a toddler in your life like mine, they have this obsession with cell phones. The pieces are big enough that they won’t get lost, but small enough that little hands can pick them up and build their own creations. Ok, maybe the parents that tend to step on a few from time to time may have an opinion, but the Mega Bloks First Builders Big Building Bag is such a fun gift for a little one. It helps the kids work on their dexterity, and how to follow instructions.

LeapFrog Scout’s Build and Discover Tool Set teaches kiddos how to use the “tools” in their set to help Scout build his house. Our youngest played with it multiple times a day. This has been our toddlers’ favorite toy in our home. LeapFrog Scout’s Build and Discover Tool Set

This year, we’ve created a special post sharing toys under 20 dollars for toddlers. Last year, we featured toys under 20 dollars, that any parent or relative can feel great about purchasing. With 3 kids in the house now, we’ve become experts at shopping for toys for a toddler.Įach time one of our kiddos reach the toddling stage, we have relatives that ask what they should buy our children for their birthdays, and during the holiday season.Įach year, I feel bad about selecting toys that are on the expensive side.

I like how it adds pops of colors to his room.This project cost me $12 total not including the glue.There are affiliate links in this post. Now my guy has custom-handmade alphabet-art!

Luckily, once it dried it was hardly noticeable and at least he can say he helped to make it.Īfter all of the letters/numbers were glued and rather dry, I placed the artwork into the frame. Unfortunately a little too much fun! So much so that the glue started weeping put of the sides of the cards. I later received some assistance from my 2.5 year old and my 8 year old. I would have preferred to use a glue stick, but none could be found in this house– and I’m just a spirit of the moment kinda girl and just wanted to see the project completed, but- I would definitely recommend using glue sticks instead. I then added craft glue to the backs of the cards and glued them right to the back of the original picture, making sure they were straight. Then added a 1,2,3,and 4 card to the end of the alphabet on the second frame to make it even.

I flipped over the original ugly picture and lined up my cards in 5 columns and three rows. I had purchased these two thrift store frames for $4.99 each, a while ago, I liked them because they were kinda chunky and they were already blue- which saved me from having to spray paint– (you might not believe this, but I actually despise spray painting, I know *GASP* I may be the only blogger to admit that ). Then a light bulb went off in my head-I had planned on doing some type of alphabet wall art in his room, why not use these!?! My original plan was to try and copy Restoration Hardware’s stencil alphabet wall art and put them up something like this:īut my idea would be a lot more colorful and muchcheaper than $16 a pop! When I brought them home, I let him play with them for a little while, naming the animals and objects on the cards. They are the basic ABC ones that you can find just about anywhere. I came across some playskool flashcards, nothing special really, but thought I should grab them for my little guy. While in the Dollar Tree the other day, spending way more money than I had planned on.
