New Craft for LMNOP Magazine - Box Pull Toys

My first craft column appeared in the new issue of LMNOP magazine today.  Pull toys have been making a come-back in our house, so I decided to make some box pull toys that slide across the floor.  They turned out to be really fun and very easy to make.  There are full instructions in the LMNOP issue, and their layout and photos look awesome too.  If you want to check it out, it's free and you can download it here.  The entire issue is filled with amazing finds for kids.

P.S. Don't miss the retro leisure suit photo of me on page 2.

    So pleasing, as always. And what a marvelous pet solution for those of us unable to parent children and puppies at once! LOVE the tails! :)

    These are totally adorable! We have three nephews who will all be together for Christmas this year. A perfect project for a snowy day this winter!

    This is such a great idea! I'm thinking of names, personalities - it's a fabulous activity to extend into imaginative play.
