While perusing an old Good Question on sources for wooden baby gyms, we came across a reader comment that escaped our notice the first time around. Instead of offering up advice on where to purchase one, one of our readers posted a link to one she had made herself. It was simple, inexpensive and looked great. We think it deserves a bit of the spotlight…
Jessica at Seedpod Craft Studio managed to create this perfect wooden baby gym for only $25. By using materials easily obtained at craft or hardware stores and avoiding tricky angled cuts she created a design that anyone can turn into a reality in just a few hours time.

As long as you have your protractor handy to get your legs aligned correctly you should be all set. Jessica even provides a second tutorial on how to make the springy-toy-dangler-things (her words) that hang from the gym. All in all, a complete success of a project, start to finish. Well done, Jessica.

Sweet! What a great idea!
Now why didn't I think of this?! Great idea!!!
The gym is neat, but love the quilt even more!
Seriously folks!
Forget the quilt ...... that baby is edible. What a darling ! I didn't even notice the quilt just those cubby thighs and cheeks.
Ta da!
Great idea! We have the IKEA one, but it would be lovely to have another for the next baby for the nursery on the second floor of our house (I hated trying to carry it upstairs at the same time as the baby).
WHAT is a baby gym??? Now I'm freaking out realizing how much I don't know about babies...
