I have a huge bolt of muslin fabric that I got for 5 dollars at a garage sale, an old ubersoft changing pad that I was able to cut up for the other side of the square, cellophane wrapping paper for the crinkly noise, and lots of random ribbon. The only thing I had to buy was the package of fabric markers so the girls could decorate their squares. (Crayola makes a pretty reasonably priced package of those though, and I have a feeling I'll be able to put them to another good use one of these days.)
I'm thinking though that this may be one of those toys that is used with supervision only. It seems like maybe the cellophane in the fabric makes it a bit of a suffocation risk? I don't know...would it make you nervous?
We have three more months until baby J will likely show up. Do you have any suggestions for other fun things I can do with the girls to involve them in the anticipation?

This is an awesome idea! It almost makes me wish I had another baby to try it out with.
I don't think it would cause a suffocation risk, but I don't know. I guess I never would have thought of it. It seems like a toy you would not put in bed, so maybe just supervise him with it as he plays.
There are no crafts in it, but I wrote this post on the recent addition of our baby Jake! He has 3 big sisters. :)

What a cute idea! I guess it could pose a small suffocation risk? So much to worry about with a baby, but what a fun way to get the girls excited about the impending arrival of their little brother!
So so so cute! I love how you involved your kids.
I'm heading there right now... :-)
What a fun idea! Our little guy just turned one, and though it would be late, I'd bet his two big sisters would love to make these for him! Thanks for the idea!
