This weekend we are taking my 10 month old son camping for the first time. He loves his toys, but most of them require batteries, so I’m looking for toys that he will like that are perfect for the outdoors, and may get lost or broken in the process.
Based on a recommendation from one of the parents on the Playground at Offsprung.com I picked up some of those simple Fisher Price “Baby’s First Blocks”.
BUT! I’m a graphic designer, and thought I could punch it up a bit, so I designed stickers to go on the flat surface inside each shape. I did each of our heads, enough letters to spell his name, and some other fun designs. They’re recessed enough that they shouldn’t get too slobbery.
If you’d like to do your own, you can download this real cheap and easy PDF. If you have Adobe Illustrator, you can pop it open and add your own designs. Or simply print it out on sticky paper, decorate, cut, and apply. Please feel free to take pics and send em in. Or if you’ve modded other toys for your tot, let me know about that too.
