Birthday Blast Off

My nephew turned four last week, and as his birthday fell on the day after we returned from our trip, I just couldn't get a card in the mail in time.  But I had a great idea in mind for his birthday and had a bit of time and creative energy to 'git 'er done' last night (can you tell I've been reading a lot of Mater stories to Piglet??)

When I saw the Blast Off set in the new catalog, it immediately went on my must-have list.  I think anyone with little boys can get good use out of this set.  I had an idea for a matching game that was inspired by a project I saw in the catalog.  I love how this project turned out!  I made it as a 8.5" square board, but you could easily make it larger or smaller and adjust the number of pieces/size, etc.  I've also listed it in my etsy shop, so if you have a little boy in your life who might like this, check it out!
