A few weeks back, I shared a sneak peek of one of the special gifts I made for Beckett to give him when our new baby arrived – a custom designed board book featuring hand drawn animal silhouettes. Today I’m back to show you the entire Big Brother Kit that we gave to him at the hospital after Cooper was born.
The idea for the Big Brother Kit started with my desire to make Beckett a special Big Brother shirt using iron-on transfer paper. I bought a plain black t-shirt from Target and a cute pair of plaid shorts. I designed the iron-on decal for the shirt to match the shorts, and used a a seam ripper to remove the pocket from the shirt in order to maximize the space available for the decal. I also picked up a black canvas bag from Michael’s and made a coordinating decal for the bag.
Beckett is really into Sesame Street these days – so much so that he’ll sit and watch a full hour long episode without moving or saying a word. Anything that can hold the attention of a 17-month old is like magic. His favorite Sesame Street character is Elmo, and his favorite parts of the show include anything involving music and singing. I found him a cute Elmo shirt to add to the Big Brother Kit, and also picked up two DVDs of Sesame Street musical skits.
