Filth Wizardry has come up with a
DIY version of the new paper and punch
kits created from the Muji and Lego team
(only available in Japan).  Gather the Legos,
some paper and a hole punch for a few
hours of creative play, when the kids get
home from school they may just
want to join you ;)

FilthWizardrylegoholepunching
Lucky for us, Filth Wizardry has
created two free printables. The
first one is a page of pre-marked
spots for punching and the other is
a printable to get you started on
your own Christmas diorama!
