Once upon a time, I was digging through my yarn stash and I happened upon a skein of yarn in a very particular shade of blue. The bluest blue. TARDIS blue. Okay, so maybe it wasn't a 100% match, but the resemblance was still uncanny. (Or maybe I had just been binge watching way too much Doctor Who. Potato, po-tah-to.) Either way, this yarn was destined to become a police box. And with this free pattern, now you can make your very own! 

Kids are awesome. They have infinite curiosity and seemingly infinite energy to match. But sometimes you're at church or at the doctor's office and all you want is for something to help them sit still for 5 minutes, preferably without screaming or collapsing into a tantrum on the floor. These velcro building sticks make a simple, inexpensive distraction that you can easily tuck into your bag and take out when things get desperate. They're also great for building motor skills and encouraging your little one's creativity.
