Baby and Kids Laser Cut Files: Gifts, Blocks and Toys

A new baby brings a long list of occasions: the shower, the birth, the first visit, the first birthday, and a nursery that needs something on every shelf. Store-bought gifts for all of them start to look the same very quickly. A piece cut from wood with the baby’s name on it does not, and it is the kind of present that stays in the family after the clothes have been outgrown.

This guide gathers nine laser cut files for that whole stretch, from the baby shower to the playroom. Four of them hold a gift card or cash, so the practical present arrives in something worth keeping. The rest are for the room itself and for play: letter blocks that spell a name, a puzzle board, dice in six sizes and a miniature table for a doll’s house. For each one you will find what is in the download, what it suits best, and which files combine into one gift.

Gifts for a new baby

Welcome Baby Bottle Gift Card Holder

Money and gift cards are what new parents actually need, and they are the least memorable thing to hand over. This file solves it neatly. It is a baby bottle in two pieces: a front that says Welcome Baby! with a bib, a pacifier, a onesie and a rattle engraved around the words, and a pocket shaped like the same bottle with two little footprints, which holds the card.

The second photo shows the idea that makes it sell: cut one set for a girl and one for a boy, and you have a matching pair for twins, or two versions ready for a shower where the baby’s sex is still a surprise. It stands on a shelf after the party, so the parents keep it long after the card has been used.

The download has an SVG cut file, a printable JPG, a PNG with a clear background and an EPS for Adobe Illustrator. The maker notes that the artwork has been joined into as few pieces as possible and that some editing may be needed for your laser.

Baby Stroller Name Sign and Bear on a Cloud

Baby Stroller is an old-fashioned pram with a hood and big spoked wheels, and a band across the body for the baby’s name. It is the easiest personalised gift in this collection: cut it, engrave the name, and it works as a shelf sign for the nursery, a tag tied to a gift basket, or a keepsake from the shower. The photos show it both standing on a dresser and tied with a ribbon to a woven basket. The download includes an SVG cut file, printable JPG and PNG versions and an EPS, with the maker’s note that some editing may be needed for your laser.

Bear Sitting on a Cloud is a gift tag for a baby shower: a teddy bear resting on a soft cloud, with a hole for a ribbon. Hang it on a wrapped present, the handle of a gift bag or a hook in the nursery. The second photo shows how different the same tag looks straight off the laser and once it is finished, which is useful if you are making a batch of favours for a shower and want some plain and some decorated. The file comes as SVG, JPG, PNG and EPS.

A stroller with the name and a bear on a cloud make a natural pair for one shower gift: the sign goes on the shelf, the tag goes on the box.

Happy Birthday Cake Gift Card Holder

The same idea as the baby bottle, a year later. A little cake with a single candle and a big grin on the front, and a matching cake pocket with Happy Birthday that holds a gift card or cash. It is a cheerful way to give money to a child who is too young to care about envelopes, and to a teenager who only wants the card but still likes something funny with it.

Like the bottle, it looks good cut twice in two versions, as the party photo shows. The download has an SVG cut file, a printable JPG and PNG, and an EPS, with the maker’s note that some editing may be needed for your laser.

For the nursery shelf

3D Alphabet Blocks A to Z

Classic alphabet blocks, rebuilt for a laser. Each cube is 100 mm on a side, with the letter cut through the side faces and a solid top and bottom so the cubes stack. The whole alphabet from A to Z is in the file, which means you can spell a baby’s name for the nursery shelf, BABY for a shower table, as in the second photo, or the name of a shop for a window display.

This is one of the few files here where the maker gives the material outright: the cubes are drawn for 3 mm, 3.2 mm (1/8 inch) and 4 mm sheet, in wood or acrylic. The formats are AI, EPS, DXF and SVG, and the maker lists LightBurn, LaserCut and RDWorks as the software, with Glowforge, OMTech, xTool and Thunder Laser machines.

Toys and games

Toys and Games Mega Bundle

If you want one download that fills a whole toy shelf, this is it. The bundle holds sixteen mini sets: puzzles, mazes, tangrams, little cars, animals, holiday pieces and valentines. The two photos show two of the puzzles, an alphabet board where every letter lifts out, and a round number puzzle with the digits around a centre gear.

Puzzles like these are the wooden toys that parents actually keep, because they teach letters and numbers while they are being played with. They also make good stock for a craft fair, where a finished alphabet board sells to grandparents almost by itself. The formats are AI, EPS, SVG, DXF and PNG, and the maker lists Cricut, Glowforge and CNC machines, as well as paper, so the smaller pieces can be tried in cardstock first.

Wooden Dice in Six Sizes

Six dice in six sizes, from 3.2 cm to 10 cm, with the pips cut through the faces as round holes. The small ones go into a board game box; the big ones are toys in their own right for a toddler who is learning to count, and they make a striking decoration on a games shelf.

The idea the maker suggests is worth borrowing: instead of dots, engrave your own words on the faces. A die that picks what is for dinner, which game to play or who does the washing up is a small, funny gift that gets used every week. The file is drawn for 3 mm, 3.2 mm (1/8 inch) and 4 mm wood, plywood, MDF or acrylic, and comes as AI, EPS, DXF and SVG.

Miniature Dollhouse Table

A round table with a crossed base, made for dolls at 1:4 scale, the size of Minifee and similar ball-jointed dolls. The finished table is 15 cm high and 22 cm wide, so it suits a large doll’s house or a display shelf for a collector, as the second photo shows, rather than a small toy house.

Collectors of these dolls spend a lot on furniture, and a well-made wooden table is a real gift for them. The file comes as CDR, PDF, DXF, AI and SVG. The maker does not include assembly instructions, so it is a better choice for someone who has already built a few boxes and joints on their laser than for a first project.

A letter to Santa

Two Envelopes for a Letter to Santa

Children write to Santa every December, and this file gives the letter a proper envelope: Santa peeks over the top flap, the front is addressed to the North Pole with Christmas Letter, Express Delivery, and there are two boxes to tick, Naughty and Nice. A folded letter slips inside.

It works as a family tradition that comes out every year, as a gift from a grandparent with a wish list tucked inside, or as a holder for a Christmas card with money in it. The download has an SVG cut file, printable JPG and PNG versions and an EPS, with the maker’s note that some editing may be needed for your laser.

Santa Letter Envelope is the same idea in a lighter, flatter form: an envelope addressed with Christmas Letter, Express Delivery to the North Pole, a verse from Santa Claus Is Coming to Town on the inner flap, the Naughty and Nice boxes, and Santa’s sleigh with reindeer along the bottom. It has a hole at the top, so it can hang on the tree with a letter tucked inside until Christmas Eve, and it is quick to cut in quantity for a class or a family of cousins.

Putting a gift together

For a baby shower, the easiest complete gift is three pieces from this page: the bottle with a card inside, the stroller with the baby’s name, and the bear on a cloud as the tag on the box. Add alphabet blocks that spell the name if the gift is from the whole family.

For a first birthday, the cake holder carries the money, and the alphabet puzzle or the number puzzle from the toys bundle is the present that will actually be played with.

For a playroom or a market table, the dice and the puzzles are quick to cut in quantity, and the large dice and the alphabet blocks are the pieces people pick up first.

Before you cut

Most of the gift card holders and tags here come as a set of formats in one ZIP folder: an SVG for cutting, a JPG and a PNG for printing, and an EPS for editing in Adobe Illustrator. Several makers say that the artwork has been joined into as few pieces as possible and may need small edits for your machine, so open the file and check that every outline is closed before the first cut. The blocks, dice and dollhouse table state their material thickness; for the rest, test the fit of any slot or pocket on a scrap first.

These files are listed on Creative Fabrica with a commercial license, so the pieces you make can be sold at a craft fair or in your shop.
