compact by design

I loved this idea from Sara Hicks Malone (of Party Perfect) to create a “first words” book for my son.

Although I wasn’t crazy about the cost of using an online service to print it.  And I know Toddler L’s penchant for tearing pages, so a board book would really be best.

I found this post about a custom book by Erin Jang (via Jordan Ferney) that solved my problems.

Did you know you can buy blank board books?  Used ones too.

I’m not exactly sure how a blank board book could be considered used, but I’m going to find out. Do people buy the book, realize there’s no pictures and return it?

And now the search is on for a used Scrabble game.  I like the idea of having this game anyway and I can use the letters for this project.  Double win.

Let’s hope I can find Scrabble or some letter tiles before Toddler L learns how to write his own book.
