While organizing some of Gates' things, cubes remarked that I'm going to be a good mother. Of course, I inquired why? The reason? Because I was taking great care to think about toys that were both educational and fun. (At the time I was organizing vintage Playskool Match Up Games.)

Maybe it's because most of the women in my family are educators that I'm concerned about stimulating Gates' mind while she plays. Or maybe it's because I've found a bunch of the games I had when I was a kid and I'm feeling nostalgic. Either way, Gates her very own Fisher Price School Days Desk (one of my absolute favorite toys as a kid), a collection of flashcards (prehistoric animals as well as the ABCs), and matching games.
As I had chalk and chalkboards on my mind, I chose a fun font that reminded me of grammar school: Schoolbell. Hope you like it! You can download Schoolbell, a 225-character font from 2010 designed by Font Diner, free from FontSpace.com.
Happy Designing!
