Personalized baby gifts are some of the most precious and special gifts you can give. When it comes to giving something special, why give anything else than a personalized baby gift? Baby gifts should be meaningful to the child and should convey a special message about the love for that child. That can happen if you select a great gift like the whimsical and playful letter wall art that is available from Letters Perfect. You will smile as you consider just how beautiful this particular type of gift can be.
A baby’s name is very special and can be integrated into a gift to make it more unique. A great place to display a baby’s name is on the wall of the nursery – where the child will spend a lot of time gazing at it. Personalized wall art letters are gifts that add more to any space than just a great look. These add a special educational element to the space as well, as the child learns letters and words and how to spell their name. Letters Perfect provides a perfect educational and personalized baby gift.
Letters Perfect creates a piece of wall art is an original illustration featuring an alphabet letter of the child’s name, filled with a variety of whimsical objects that share the same initial. This type of children’s wall art really is a heartwarming testament to your love and well wishes for the new baby. Personalized baby gifts like this do not get shoved into a box and forgotten about like so many other gifts would. Rather, these gifts are placed on the wall so that the child can enjoy them for many years to come.
Imagine the hours of fun just looking at these pieces. Any child would love to have something like this added to his or her wall, even as they get a bit older. As a preschooler, he or she will use these letters to learn the alphabet. As a toddler, the letter art works to help them to learn how to say various words from the pictures included.
Check out some of the options in these personalized baby gifts at Letters Perfect. You can choose the letters you want and then change the colors to fit the baby’s gender and the room décor. You can even choose the mats and the frame and have it all shipped to you quickly. Take a good, up close look at them, and you won’t be able to help but smile.
If you’re searching high and low for a personalized baby gift that is both useful and unique, the artwork at Letters Perfect will work great. Give these gifts at a baby shower or for a child’s birthday – or if you’re a mother then buy them to create a unique piece of art at your home.

Creativity with Dough
How to Make Your Own Playdough
Can you believe that something as simple as play dough has so many benefits for toddlers and young kids? Moldable clay that can be made in to anything your child can think up is not only the basis for imagination, but develops fine motor skills too. Although the commercial play dough is readily available, homemade versions are fun to make and don’t have that yucky chemical smell.
There are lots of recipes out there for play dough, but the best ones are cooked versions. Here is an easy Play Dough recipe for you to make with your toddler or preschooler.
Play Dough Recipe
3/4 cup Water
½ cup Salt
1/8 cup Vegetable Oil
1 cup Flour
1 tsp Cream of Tartar
Drops of Food Coloring
Optional:
½ tsp of “smelly stuff” ie: lemon extract, cinnamon extract etc.
Fine Glitter
• In saucepan on medium-low heat, mix water, salt and oil until warm and salt has dissolved.
• Drop in food coloring (one color per batch) and fun smelly stuff if you want it.
• Take off the heat and add flour, cream of tartar (and glitter if you are using)
• Stir until it makes a thick dough and pulls away from the sides of the pan. (This will get thick right away, so work fast.) Let cool. You may need to knead a little bit on the counter to make sure all the flour is mixed in.
This dough will keep well for months in plastic bags or airtight containers.
Something to try:
Squishing your fingers through colored dough is fun on it’s own, but I found that if I put on my son’s favorite music Steve Songs (excellent tapes, try them) or better yet, a story on tape from your local library. My son would sit quietly at the table happily creating masterpiece after masterpiece while listening to a fun song or a good story. When he was just over a year old, his favorite thing to do was “dough-dough”. ☺
Your preschooler will have fun and not even know that you are
encouraging finger dexterity and fine motor skills!
