My baby can’t say any words yet, so she be glad to have some blocks to communicate her dearest love: boobs!

It is a toss up between ‘Go’ (she has been spending to much time with her dad- watching football) and ‘No’ (her little 2 year old independence shining through!)

My son would put any combo of letters together and it would spell “boopf” …that is helicopter. He knows most of his letters by sight (he is 2) and understands a little about spelling, but all words spell “boopf” and helicopters are his favorite thing right now.

My baby can’t say words yet either but I noticed how fascintated she is with our kayaks so I can see her wanting to spell that!

ArchieLeach Says:

Our 2-year-old, Sofia, has suddenly become obsessed with the word ‘closed’. Replacing ‘hot’ as her new favorite, she uses it as often as possible, and with the new word has come a new interest in either opening anything that is already closed – doors, cabinets, zippers, etc., or vice versa…Also, when she says it, it sounds a little more like ‘cyoised’, so we’re hoping some alphabet blocks might help her get the sounds straight ;)

My kiddo’s new favorite word is “bird”… although it comes out as “bwa”. :)

My 18 month old loves to eat so if he could spell I think he would spell “SNACKS”. He is so cute when he wakes up from his afternoon nap the first word out of his mouth is…”SNACKS”.

My son is 16-months-old and doesn’t speak much. So, it would probably be a toss-up between “cheese”, “Dadoo” (my son’s nickname for his dad), and “moo”, since he just learned that’s what a cow says. :) Of course, it he could he would probably just use sign language blocks to say “eat” and “milk” as they are his two favorite things.

At 6 months he isn’t speaking yet, but maybe with the blocks and signing we can get to his first words “I love you”

Valarie

MUM or CHEESE would be his favorite words and he’d love to spell them with blocks. Of course, if the set comes with lots of “H” blocks he’d probably prefer to spell his favorite sound to yell while running everywhere…AHHHHHHHHH

My baby’s first words appear to be “what’s that?” but I think if she were to spell it, it would come out more like “wazzat”. So hopefully the set includes 2 “z”s!

“Up”! The only word my toddler seems to be saying anymore! Not only does she want to be picked “up”, but the only thing she will watch on the television is Disney Pixar’s “Up”… Sadly it only takes two blocks to spell out, which is a crying shame since the blocks are so beautiful!!

MacAaron Says:

Our baby is due any day now, so I’m not sure what she would spell. Maybe “Heidi” (he name) or “LeRoy” or “Hank” (our dogs) or perhaps “Ralphie” or “Katie-May” (our cats) or any of a number of the names for animals in our animal rescue (http://www.gatewayanimals.org“). She will most definitely grow up to be an animal lover and sustainable living expert.

Or perhaps her inclination would be towards our organic garden and indoor planting. Then maybe she’ll spell “dirt” or “pesticides suck” or “Hell ya, tomatoes” (one of my favorite phrases).

The possibilities are endless and all awaiting her birth.

I would hope that my ten-month-old granddaughter would spell out “Nanny”; for medical reasons, I can’t fly, and her parents aren’t able to come for a visit now. I’ve never met her, and it almost breaks my heart. Her poppa loved playing with the wooden toys his grandpa made for him as a baby…I would love for both of them to be able to share these wonderful blocks.

User Gravatar
KMaeCastle Says:

Rowyn would probably spell love! This is because that is how Mommy and Daddy say “I Love You”. We say L-O-V-E before bed and any time we leave each other so I bet LOVE is the first word that she spells :)

Little Lauren’s first (and favourite!) word is “Stuck”! She frequently crawls herself into sticky situations and cries “Stuck! Stuck!” Whether it be trapped under the table, or unable to crawl out of the olive oil she’s poured all over the floor, I’m sure a beautiful wagon of blocks would keep her out of mischief.

I would spell B-E-D for my son Aidan, though his favorite word is ‘eat’, and after that, his new favorite word is ‘out’, after ‘boots” of course. His birthday is the 11th, he will be two, and we could spell an infinity of possibilities with such beautiful blocks!

My Aidan is still learning to talk, I bet he would love to spell eat, as next to running and playing that is his favorite thing to do and say! He turns two on February 11th, so we would definitely teach him to spell out Thank You if we won! Thank you for throwing a fun contest!
