Maybe contact paper with sprinkles (or whatever you call them in different parts of the country), or those tiny beads depending on the age of the kids you have? I bet my dh could make the blocks, but it looks like it would be a lot of work, and easier to buy?

You would need to use plexiglass. They would be work- routing out for the plexiglass and I would probably put silicone caulk to hold it.

Could you make them out of small shadow boxes superglued shut? You might only be able to see one side though. And I don't know if you can get plastic not glass covers with those.

I have them. They are a pain in the butt.

I love them, the kids just throw them or try and stand on them or lick the plexiglass :confused:

IME, I've found most things I think are super cool are of very little interest to the kids.

I tried talking DH into making them because of the cost but he said, if you actually went out and bought the materials, you'd have three times the amount of money into them as they cost.

I suppose because the folks that make them, do so via mass production, the costs are less.

I did find them on sale though for around $15 in one of the sale flyers Constructive Playthings puts out.

My husband made something similar for my daughter when she was little.

He bought some thin flexible type of wood... Used a router to make the grooves... And used plexiglass.. We out pony beads and all types of stuff on the inside...

No but you could look for used ones on ebay or somewhere.

Our area has a toy library operated by our resource and referral agency. You can check out toys like you can check out books at a library. I would request they order them. If you have one of those, that might be an idea.
