What a fun idea Doydie.
When my daughter was small, I used to wrap small gifts like her watch in about 20 or 30 layers of wrapping paper, so that the package started extra large ... decreasing in size with every layer unwrapped. Either that or I put the gift in different sized, individually wrapped boxes, each one inside another using as many different sizes as I could find. She got wise after the first couple times, but knew she still had to unwrap every box or layer before she would get to see what her gift was.
Instead of the letter "I", what about drawing, or pasting a cut-out of a large eye on the front of your pad. You'd have an "Eye Pad" that way.
