I checked out a great book from our library recently called "Made to Play" - it's chock full of ideas for making toys for your kids or yourself or for other people's kids.
I know - I've never made a toy myself either. I only just learned to use a sewing machine and I felt like a super person afterwards and made lots of plans to make things then I didn't but I totally will. One day. The first thing I'll make is a play cape for the kids (there is an even cooler one in the book, but the pattern isn't online, so this is a different cape) - or maybe a fabric instrument.

An easier way to get started on making your own toys is to print some of these paper cities and cut and color with your kids. I'm really impressed by the creations on this guy's site and in his book. Not only do the toys look fun and tactile, but the design is modern and nice to look at. Cats are the new black - so here's a cat for you.
