Such a lovely thing to make for your gramma.
I haven't read all the responses, but wondering if anyone suggested doing some of the blocks with textures so she can feel them, since she is blind and can't see?
Thanks for the info on Tomte etc. I know in Austria there is Krampus and Streublepeter (not sure of the spelling), my gramma used to tease me about them. I never hear about them anymore.
