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.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea and your niecephews are lucky to have you as auntie!
ReplyDeletePetty Witter - I do try! :)
ReplyDeleteJummy - 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".
ReplyDeleteX 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?
ReplyDeleteA big freaking question mark?
ReplyDeleteA page full of "whywhywhywhywhy"?
A tiny black square in the middle of the page?
42?
