The Poor Man's Mr. Potato Head

I would have liked a Mr. Potato Head for Bear to work on where the parts of the face go, for little kids really have no idea. You should see where Bear puts the mouth on her friend's potato head doll! Well, I'm over wanting one.

Here's what I did instead. And Bear loves it! She always pulls it out to play.
And even though my monkey of a girl has lots of cutout shapes of eyes, ears, noses, and mouths, she always chooses the same ones!

  2. Love it!!
    We have an extensive collection of Mister Potato Head accessories (from several years of visiting Once Upon a Toy at Downtown Disney in Florida - you can fill a box with unique Disney-themed pieces). Your idea would make a great travel activity though - nice and portable!

  3. This is pretty awesome - what a good idea! By the way, my daughter got a potato head as a present, and she played with it for a little while, but those plastic bits are quite hard to fit in for little fingers, and she lost interest rather quickly.

  4. I like this idea better than the doll, actually. Takes up less space.

    What did you make it out of? Is it velcro and felt or something?
