What fits in your purse, promises lots of mixing, matching, and creative play for your little one, and gives you some craft cred? They’re Olliblocks! Olliblocks are a DIY activity and toy all in one. Simply download and print the templates for animals, boys, or girls and adhere them to an old set of wooden blocks to create your own brand new Olliblocks. Kids can mix and match from the diverse array of animal and people characters who have a hip sense of style and boast bright colors that will keep little ones creating and imagining.

While you do need some supplies of your own (1 ½ or 2 inch wooden blocks, full sheet label of sticker paper or cardstock, scissors or an xacto mat, and modge podge), Olliblocks are simple to make, and we think it’s a small price to pay for such a fun and affordable craft that also doubles as a great gift, DIY party favor, or rainy day activity for big siblings.

You can also use the same template for other crafty purposes such as making paper dolls, decorating as wall decals, or even using for sticker projects. It’s a digital download that keeps on giving, and with plenty of snowy, wintry days ahead of us, we know we’ll keep coming back to our Olliblocks.
