Wooden toys for my baby

My dh does the designing and cutting, and then I sand (and sand and sand!), paint, seal, embellish.

She loves chewing away on her keys!

The little fish were painted after this because the dye kept rubbing off. The little fish move back and forth, she loves to spin them or hear them rattle.

I think is her favorite toy (store bought or made). She LOVES chewing on the feet, which I stuffed with a cut up sun chips bag (so it crinkles).

A fishing pole for our nephew for Christmas. All the boys wanted to play with it!

Thanks! No tute, but dh is happy to provide directions for someone that wants to make their own! With the fishing pole, he saw a similar one at a street fair and just studied it for a few minutes, then made it a few weeks later. We also don't sell, it's hard enough to find the time to make our baby and family members things!

I'm actually wanting to make something like these for one of my baby boy's birthdya presents this April. http://www.marthastewart.com/article/baby-wooden-blocks

the original tute I had saved is no longer there *cry* but I guess this one will do.
