Toy Story birthday party sign

This Toy Story personalized sign front door decoration was the perfect yee-haw welcome for Elise’s 3rd birthday party.

My Buzz Lightyear obsessed daughter, Elise, wanted a Toy Story birthday party. Convenient for me, she was turning 3 years old which means I could knock off the Toy Story 3 logo a bit:

I looked around and found some fonts that looked close to the Toy Story logo and made it into a sign. Lucky for you, I also made a free sign template that you can personalize with your own kid’s name by typing it into the field.

Just print it out and you can turn it into a door sign like mine, or an iron-on t-shirt, or anything else to help celebrate your own little space ranger’s 3rd birthday.

DIY Washable Baby Placemats Great for Clip-On Chairs free project tutorial

This free pattern for DIY wipeable baby placemat attaches to clip-on highchairs (and restaurant high chairs too!). It covers the table …and unlike baby plates, your little darling can’t throw it onto the floor.

I actually came up with this baby placemat pattern a few years back for my daughter, Elise, who is now three. The placemat works really well. Just wipe it clean or machine wash and air dry.

The mat I made for Elise still holds up, but it’s pink so I re-created it in fresh stripes for Little Man. And he’s more messy so I need two. Or maybe even three.

Liam sits in our clip high chair on our kitchen island (love the space saving!). The best thing about our clip-on highchair is the room it saves in our Chicago condo. The worst thing is that little gap between our granite countertop and my sweet little boy.

That gap means without this mat my floor on its best days looks like this, plus bananas and other assorted yummies.

My baby place mat covers the gap perfectly. I made the straps adjustable so the mat attaches to restaurant high chairs too, at least restaurants that have low tables.

Caveat: It’s not totally stuck to the table so kids can pull it up. I just wet the back a bit so that it sticks to our granite counter and is harder to pull up. And once my kids got used to having a placemat they just left it there.

Best sew up a couple for own your little messy eater.
