Here’s a fun little matching game I made for my 2 year old. It’s all made out of felt. I suppose I should also say there’s batting in the shape pillows and permanent marker was used for the words.

The Fort Kit: Great gift for little builders
When my little boy opened this gift on Christmas morning, he didn’t realize how much he was going to love it. It doesn’t look flashy, but don’t let that fool you.
I feel pretty good about a lot of ideas I’ve had over the years, but this one was brilliant. My kids use this kit on a daily basis. They are always building forts, tents, hide-outs, etc. This kit took their building possibilities to a new level.
The fort kit is simple. I ordered heavy duty clothespins and a strong set of various sized clamps. These clamps are tough! The kids can clamp blankets to bunk beds like no rope or rubber band ever could. It’s really helpful to have many different sizes.
I put the clothespins and clamps in a toolbox so they can get carried all around the house and yard, ready for building projects galore! You could add some flat sheets to the kit, but I just let my kids grab whatever blankets/sheets they need for their current project.
Happy building!

Mini Quilt: There’s no place like home except Grandma’s house.
I made these mini quilts (wall hangings) for both my mom and mother-in-law for Christmas. They were extremely simple, but I thought they turned out so adorable. You don’t need a pattern. Just cut out shapes to make a house with windows and doors. Write the little message in pencil on fabric and stitch it with embroidery thread. So fun!
