Okay, he may only be 3 months old but I figured I better get cracking.

"Knocked" this up today .... whole new set of problems .. but was sort of fun ... although I could have made loads of pens in the time it took.

Pleased with the end result for 1st attempt

Yeah, heard it all before Brad, you're going to have at least 12 months to play with that before you have to give it up :funny:

Great little toy btw, bet you had fun making it.

Looks great Brad. I am sure there will be many more toys to make before long. I know I have loads of plans and the great grandchildren to make for luckily most are a little older

Lovely piece of work.

As a current dad of 3, one of which is 15 months be careful of the size of the small pieces. I appreciate that they are held by rope. From the picture they look small enough to pop in a tiny mouth if the knot comes undone.

I understand, as a dad of 4, a grandad of 1, and a man whose wife is a childminder of 10 years, I am fully aware that these little people put everything they can in there mouths.

The knots sre secured together with glue, so I couldn't get them apart if i tried. Also why no stick on eyes were attached. Only problem I can foresee is when he is old enough to swing it around and and smash the TV :wink:

But that will be his mums problem :funny:
