Alphabet blocks are an essential toy for any baby, whether yours is a newborn or a teetering toddler. These blocks, with letters and numbers appliqued on each side, encourage recognition of these characters — all while your child has a blast building structures of all shapes and sizes. But who says blocks have to be stiff, heavy and made of wood? Not Mary of Lovin’ Ewe, an online boutique shop that sells hand-sewn, plush alphabet blocks that are made to order based on color, texture and pattern preferences. Each block is 4-inches by 4-inches, and includes one side coated in chenille, to make your baby’s blocks extra soft.
Lovin’ Ewe baby blocks, $5 per block up to first seven, then $3 for each additional block. To order, visit www.etsy.com/shop/LovinEweToo.
