DIY Felt Letter Pillows

Its been sometime since I have posted. I find myself scouring the internet, bookmarking so many diy crafts with the intention of someday sharing and blogging about it. But when it comes time to actually do it I have a hard time picking or even remembering what I want to showcase! This weeks selection was not a hard one though! Good old Martha shows us how to make these lovely felt alphabet/name pillows using just a couple of items. Not only are these pretty to look at but functional as well. These pillows will get your little one used to how to spell his name. For easy to follow instructions, click here!

Zooples ABC Flash Cards

ABCDEFG (singing voice)....ok now that, that is in your head and you can't get the song out let me show you a cute shop I stumbled upon.

There are many different ways to teach your child the ABC's but most of them are typical. "I Design My World" on Etsy has come up with a bold, creative, whimsical way of doing just that with their "Zooples" series of cards. Their illustrations are captivating to say the least. Each card has a different animal featured on it with the name of the animal printed in the front. In the back you will find the letter you want to teach your little wee one.

The animals featured in the set are:

Alligator+Bear+Cat+
Dolphin+Elephant+
FrogGoldfish+Hippo+
Iguana+Jaguar+
Kangeroo+Lion+
Monkey+Narwhale+Octopus+
Penguin+Queen Bee+Shark+Tiger+
Unicorn+Vampire Bat+
Wolf+Fox+Yak+ Zebra

You can even feature your choice of animal as the first card and pick your coordinationg ribbon for the packaging. Whats so great about this shop is they recognize that over time cards wear and tear so they even offer "individual" replacement cards. How great is that? Each replacement card is $1.oo if you have previously purchased a full set and $2.00 if you want to purchase just one card as a sample.

Each card is printed on sturdy cardstock and measures 4.25 x 5.5 inches. These would make great new baby gifts or just to have on hand to give as a gift for any other occasion. If you would like to purchase a set you can find them here.
