We are so excited to introduce Stackapals! This project has been a long time in coming. Sean actually started designing these in the hopes of having them available last Christmas! Since he was still in college, homework got in the way and he wasn’t able to finish them in time. Well, now they’re done and we finally get to share them with you!
Stackapals are do-it-yourself block people toys that are as simple as they are delightful. Each character has been hand drawn and then imported into the computer for final illustration. Stackapals are designed with expressive faces and adorable clothing that make mixing and matching them bunches of fun.
There are twelve characters in all – 6 boys and 6 girls and just about anybody can put a set together. Included in the PDF download are detailed instructions on how to assemble your Stackapals as well as helpful supply list links. With a little time and effort you’ll have a wonderful hand-made toy your children will enjoy for years to come.
Think of the adorable gifts you could give at Christmas time to the young children you know! The nice thing is that Stackapals are very inexpensive to make. And they’re very versatile! Not only can you make block people out of them, but you can also adhere them to magnets to stack on your refrigerator, or even wood or cardboard tiles to lay out flat on the floor or even in the car on trips! Once you have the PDF file, print off and make as many gifts as you need! (Please note, Stackapals are for personal use only. They are not available to make and sell online or at craft fairs etc.)
We are offering a 2 day special as we release these exciting new products! For every Bundle Set of Stackapals you purchase, you will receive our Little Character Badges program totally free! The Stackapals will be emailed to your inbox right away, and then the Little Character Badges file will be emailed to you in the evening.
If you have a 3-5 year old child, Little Character Badges is a fun way to motivate and encourage your child towards good behavior, while still keeping them accountable in their incorrect behavior. This offer is available Monday and Tuesday, October 13th and 14th only!
We hope your children will enjoy Stackapals as much as ours do. It’s not just our youngest that loves them – our 4 and 6 year old girls love mixing and matching the fun characters. (We’ve even caught our 9 and 11 year old sons sit down with them. 🙂
Very cute and clever Stackapals! Congrats on your wedding anniversary! The picture of the 2 of you is great and you look especially pretty and healthy in this blog post!!
I really want to thank you and Sean a lot for making the characters of different races and ethnicities. Children of color need to see themselves reflected in their toys just as they need to see themselves represented in positions of leadership in church and state.
I think these are really cute, and I’m thinking of buying them to make a set for my daughter for Christmas, but I have one concern. My girls are 2 1/2 and 10 months, so most toys need to be safe for putting into little mouths, and I’m not wild about them eating Mod Podge. Do you have any ideas for more natural alternatives for the adhesive?

I have loads of trouble drawing hands, and these look so much like how I draw my people…. just 100 times better.
So creative!
Those are adorable!
How much would a set of 2″ blocks cost to put these on?
