Seasonal Word Blocks

My cousin's wife gave my sister and I these blocks as a "Pay it Forward" gift. We thought they were so clever and wanted to share. They are 3 inch blocks with scrapbook paper and vinyl on them.

Depending on how you arrange the letters on the blocks, you can spell 16 words:

Harvest
Family
Blessed
Monster
Welcome
Spooky
Snow
Mother
Friends
Winter
Home
Dream
Faith
Freedom
Hope
Easter

All these words are made using seven blocks (depending on the word). So, the blocks you are not using you can just store a few and then when you feel like changing the word in your house simply just rearrange the blocks to spell a new word.


Each block has the following letters:

Block 1- f, b, t, w
Block 2-m,e,d,o
Block 3- c,s,a,r
Block 4- e,p,t,r
Block 5- n,l,v,o
Block 6- s,i,m,k
Block 7- y,e,h,d

  3. I have seen something similar before, but with smaller blocks. I love the red, white and black combination. Hmmmm, another idea for my bazaar? Would you mind if I made some to sell?
