Something like this would be epic:
The main idea is to just have a ton of surfaces with different tactile elements. You could go simple and do a whole lot of squares of different materials held securely in place. But the octopus is so much more amazing 
Heck with the kids! i’d put that in MY room! 
Well it didn’t work! I just hope your baby is able to overcome the fact that her daddy is clearly a horrible monster! 
But seriously, congrats to you and @mrsjoe on your future bundle o’ joy. Just be sure to get some tiny laser safety glasses for her!
Ohhh so exciting! 
Even though I know it’s not true, somehow deep in my heart I blame you for the most recent delay… just a little.
I understand. I fully accept the blame. 
I wasn’t going to say anything, but Joe did call me up last month…
JOOOOOOOOEEEEEE!
This is how the call went.
@dan: Hello?
me: Hey Dan, could you delay the Glowforges, I’m gonna have a kid.
@dan: Who is this, how did you get this number?
me: … {Throws phone in river and runs away into the night.}
Well the joke’s on Joe. Now he has to decorate the nursery by hand without a laser.
NOOOOO! I DIDN’T THINK THIS THROUGH!!!
