Snow white play puppets

My daughter loves Snow white and all of the 7 Dwarfs.. So we made these cute very easy ice lolly stick puppets together...
I searched for the pics online as i did not have the stickers for all of the characters, we just cut and stuck them to the stick and voila she had her puppets to play with... 

DIY watercolors

 I just love this idea... dipping dried markers into a little amount of water and leaving for a couple of hours... and tada you have your very own watercolors..
I have to say this is not my idea, i ran across it somewhere..
You need to put at least 4 or 5 markers of the same color together to get a nice color..

My daughter just loves painting with these colors.. :)

Bidhouses Key holder part 2

 Finally i have a place for my keys, so hopefully i wont have to look everywhere for them..

With one hidden at the side.. for secret keys :)

Wooden DIY birdhouses key-holder.. part 1

 My mum had all these pieces cut-out from MDF...
Now was the time for assembly...
In that my husband helped.. not exactly helped also, he did all the wooden work...

And even had them attached to the wall...

Still need to paint them and attach hooks for the keys...

Doll's DIY cardboard box Bed...

 I took a shoebox and cut it..

 Painted it white on the inside and pink on the outer, with acrylic colors...

 Gave it some moon and stars for some extra touch...

 Sewed a mattress, good thing it fitted nicely inside..

 made bed sheet, pillow cover and a blanket from a cute sheep printed cotton..

And Voila.. a bed for my Daughter's Doll.. and cant believe how easy it was...
Now she even wants a tub for her doll... but that i have ordered online from a toy-store :)
 

Felt Moon & Stars

My daughter loves saying good night to this moon and stars at night..
very easy to make.. whipped this up in just around an hour.. hand embroidered the faces, and stitched the edges together with a sewing machine and stuffed with poly-fiber.. hanged it on the wall near the bed and stuck some glow in the dark stars as well....

3 wee dolls

 This project was actually made by mother more than me.. i just helped... # cute dolls tucked inside their very own adjoining sleeping bags..

 Sleeping.. Hiding...

All cozily rolled up...

Teacher's Day Gift

 I made these chocolate pencils for my daughter to give to her teacher's at her nursery...
so easy... couldn't belive how quick they were made..

All you need is some colored card stock and glue.. for the chocolate i used Toblerone and Hershey's kisses..

I made 4 as they were so quick to make.. :)

Playhouse

I finally finished this big project i was working on.... :)

A playhouse fro my daughter.. she was telling me since quite some time now that she wanted a house..
she says that bring some fabric and do some stitch stitch and make... ok!! kids think everything is so easy right?!!
anyways i finished it today after around 12 days of working on this...
will be giving it to her tom cant wait for her reaction...

 I made a rolling door.. which can be closed like this... if she wants to hide inside or something :)

Pot of tulips with removable tulips obviously... made of felt and pipe cleaners.. was a bit reluctant to use pipe cleaners for this but it turned out great..

 MAIL BOX... with blue and purple mails inside... the lid stays shut with Velcro...

 this side has a window, with curtains, and hanging watering can..

 which can be removed like this so she can give water to her plants and flowers...

 This side of the house is the most interesting... with an apple tree, which can be removed and put in the basket..

 And a vegetable garden..

 with Felt Vegetables.. 3 carrots, 2 potatoes and 1 lettuce.. which are inside the soil pockets..

And now they are out...

Cant wait to give her tomorrow..
Any comments are welcome...

Ice-Cream Popsicle Color Sorting Game

A very easy and fun activity for a preschooler...
All you need are
Some different colored pieces of felt
Pop sticks
Paints

Cut 2 pieces of each of your colored felt in Popsicle shape...
sew 2 pieces together, do not turn..

I smoothed down the rough edges of the sticks with sandpaper..
Than paint the sticks according to your felt colors..
And you are done... put the sticks in their corresponding colored felt ice cream..

Give your child to play with it :)
