Obsessively Stitching has come up with another great idea! Storytelling foam dice or I-Spy blocks using fabric. These would be great for toddlers, pre-school aged kids, homeschoolers and elementary students. Build children's vocabulary and have soft building blocks at the same time. So many uses for these blocks. GO HERE to learn how to make them. (Another great reason to buy lots of little scraps of fabric!!!)
