Handcraft a Block Sorting Cart

        The block cart is twice as much fun to play with because it is two toys in one -- the toddler can not only walk around with it and pull it along, he can also take the pieces apart and put them together again. It's fascinating to be able to make it's parts fit just right. 

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Cut 1 piece of wood for the frame, 1" x 4" x 12".
  2. Cut another piece 1" x 3" x 24" for three 2" x 5/8" diameter circles, and three 2" x 5/8" x 2 5/8" right triangles. 
  3. Bore a 5/8" diameter hole in the center of each block
  4. Measure and cut 1 piece 1/2" x 10" dowel for three pegs 3 1/4" long.
  5. Cut and measure 2 piece of 1 1/2 x 4" dowel for wheels and attach wheels.
  6. Round off edges and corners of all pieces.
  7. Finish with your choice of non-toxic paint.
