I love paper and cardboard toys. They are eco friendly, boost creativity, you can make them yourself, or buy them from creative designers, like this one http://www.bagofpretty.blogspot.com/2012/06/pappet-creative-paper-toys-interview.html I would also recommend Mr Printables (http://www.mrprintables.com/) fro beautifully designed free printables for kids.

Papercraft Alphabet is first to come to my mind, and I guess it can be used as early as preschool age. Also check out my Free Printables board on Pinterest http://pinterest.com/bagofpretty/free-printables/

What's the single most precious memento you have from your children's infancy that's not a photo? Please incude a link to a picture if you're willing to share!

Petra

My most precious thing is actually not a thing, but a memory of my little boy (suddenly turned big) waiting for me in front of the elevator with a huge bouquet when I was coming from the hospital with his new brother. How he gave me the flowers and looked at me was the most breath-taking moment of my life and I will never forget it. There was supposed to be a photo, we only realized later that daddy was clicking the empty camera without the memory card and he never noticed due to all the excitement:)

Quilts made from outgrown onesies, benches from cribs, spice jars from baby food containers... how have you re-purposed your old baby and kid items? Please share a photo if you have one.

I loove upcycling onesies, there are so many possibilities and some of them have great pattern and text which can be used when kids get older. They are also soft and perfect for summer beanies. My most recent project though is tiny clothes for my sons lovey, which turned out too cute for words and it took 10 minutes to make. http://www.bagofpretty.blogspot.hu/2013/03/tini-clothes.html http://bagofpretty.blogspot.hu/2012/04/kcwc-spring-day-1-upcycled-onesie-head.html
