Castle Birthday Cake

My daughter wanted me to hold a party for her at her nursery, so i asked her which cake she wants, she instantly replied castle cake :) i tried to make her change her mind because i was kind of finding it difficult to make a castle cake ;) but she would not budge from her choice of cake, so here it is the finished castle cake for her nursery party...
i regret not taking more photos of the cake in the making.. hopefully will remember next time when i make a cake..

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.. :)

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...

Puppet magnets..

These are cute animal puppets my daughter and my nephew made with me using tongue depressors, paint and some felt..
they really enjoyed making and playing with them..

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 :)
