As an Aunty, I made a vow when the neicephews were born that I'd try to make them as many gifts as possible. In part, this vow was because I loved getting home made gifts as a kid. But I knew that I'd never be able to compete with the presents from grandparents and great grandparents. And I know, I know how much they love me does not correlate with extravagant expensive gifts. Right?
Anyway, this year I am making my two year old nephew, Wee Bit, alphabet cards. Here are the things that Wee Bit likes: Trucks, Tools, and Animals. So, I made the cards in this vein...Don't laugh at my drawing skills, they are lacking.
M is for MOUSE
I is for ICECREAM TRUCK
B is for BACKHOE
Q is for QUAD CHAIR LIFT, obviously.
I like my alphabet cards with a dose of silly, don't you?
What's A for you? or more telling, perhaps, what's Q? X? W? Y?

What a lovely idea - I so wish someone had thought to do this for me when I was a youngster. What a great aunty you are.
I love the idea and your niecephews are lucky to have you as auntie!
Petty Witter - I do try! :)
Jummy - You're welcome to steal it for your own neicephews.
Q is for Q-tip. You could also add some cultural flair by putting the Australian translation: "earbud".
X is totally for x-ray goggles, featuring a man in goggles looking through a woman's clothes.
W is for wombat. What a ridiculously awesome animal.
Y is the single most important question in life!
hah! And Sandy, how would you draw the single most important question in life?
A big freaking question mark?
A page full of "whywhywhywhywhy"?
A tiny black square in the middle of the page?
42?
Those are just lovely, you rock.
