Color a block before the shower

These are the real designs we engrave: 26 letters, an animal for every letter, plus numbers and hearts to count. Pick a marker and tap a block.

How it works at the shower

  1. Engraved sign on its easel with blank blocks

    Set up the station

    Sign on the easel, blocks and markers on the table. Two minutes.

  2. Blocks colored with pastel markers

    Guests color a block

    The outlines are engraved, so nobody needs to draw. They just fill in.

  3. Finished colored blocks stacked by the sign

    The baby keeps them

    A keepsake from everyone who came, ready for the nursery shelf.

Real blocks, real photos

Shot in our California workshop, no retouching. Solid wood 1.5-inch cubes with crisp engraved outlines.

The grain is different on every block, so no two sets look the same.
