The Handmade Toy Revolution
Wednesday, March 18, 2009
Ok so eventhough my daughter Brianna is only just two-months old, I find myself constantly thinking of her development. Specifically how I can enhance and enrich her learning. I admit that I want the best for my child, and starting her ahead of the developmental learning curve, is a great way for me to do that.
Taking my inspiration from the "Your Baby Can Read" dvd's you know the one's that cost about $200 bucks on-line. Well here is a take on my idea. Using themes like; Groceries,Animals and even Shapes,Alphabets & Numbers, all of the items are stuffed felt creations handmade by me with love to enhance her learning as she grows. Since my daughter is so young I came up with the idea to create each category into a mobile. I've hung the Shapes,Alphabet and Numbers mobile over her crib. The Animals and Groceries mobiles hang in our play area for when we play together.
I really enjoy catching her attention with the bright felt colors that I've used to create these toys for her. My secret to pulling this off of course is by using awesome patterns such as "Little Brown Bird" by Umecrafts or "Felt Cuisine" by Hiromi Hughes these two great moms happen to be my idol's I truly adore their craft and appreciate the fact they share it with the world especially at such a "frugal" price!

lil' Omelette!
I developed a funny group of breakfast characters when I was pregnant with my daughter. Inspired by an egg I cooked sunnyside up one morning. I named the eggy character "lil' Omelette"! I'm also working on creating the character as a felt toy. I'll post that picture here soon, so check back!
