I’ve posted some different baby/kids’ blocks before, but Sara from Creative Jewish Mom has an added twist on hers. She’s added a paper mache base to some recycled scrap wood pieces and then decoupaged napkins right over the top. The paper mache helped make an even surface for Mod Podging – and you could this same technique to make baby blocks out of other recycled surfaces too. I actually find these blocks to be shelf worthy as decor. For the full tutorial, visit Sara here.
For more Mod Podge projects like this one, visit these Martha Stewart trendy baby blocks, story blocks, vintage toy blocks and animal puzzle blocks.
Note: Mod Podge is an acrylic, waterbased and non-toxic product, so it is okay for your children to handle. However, I don’t recommend your child keeping one in their mouth for an extended period of time as Mod Podge is not food safe.
Blogger who loves the color blue and sock monkeys. You can find me in public easily— I'm wearing glasses and lots of stripes.
Love those! Definitely display worthy.
You can use shellac as a protective finish/sealer and is safe for babies to put in their mouths.
