Mike and I were so excited to make these little wooden blocks for Poppy this Christmas. They are so much fun to construct. I purchased the blocks pre-cut, but we plan to have the next lot cut at the hardware store from untreated lumber.
We mod podged various designs of scrapbook paper, stickers and letters then sanded the corners for a soft antiqued feel. We just need to find some beautiful vintage inspired animal stickers and then we can finish them with a final coat of mod podge.
I hope to make personalized block sets to sell in my Etsy shop soon!

Those blocks are great--I'm sure they will bring hours of fun for Poppy Anne!

They are indeed wonderful, but isn't modge podge toxic ? Is it alright for the babies to put that in their mouth ?
