It Is The Small Things In Life...


Who knew the few extra seconds it took me to arrange Lu's snack into a turkey would have made her day. I got the inspiration from this months Family Fun Magazine.

My turkey is much more simplified than the magazines - plus I used what I had on hand. Flower shaped sprinkles for the eyes and plane shaped Bachman Kidzels for the feet.

On a similar note.
This piece of cardboard came with a blanket I bought for Lu's bed.
Literally 2 minutes of cutting equaled hours of playing.

    Oh my gosh, that is the cutest turkey ever!! Now, if I could just get my children to eat pears....

    And the my-little-ponies, I wonder when my daughter will be interested in these. simple crafts are always seem the most interesting to the littler among us.

    Hooray for the castle! I gave my two year -old the cardboard from the new baby gate and he had a blast coloring on something different! I'm seeing colouring oppotunities in all kinds of discarded packaging now! Hooray free art supplies!

    A castle will def. be coming from the next box!

    What a cute treat. My little one does not care for pears. We are just getting into the My Little pony also. I could do that treat with oranges...

    What a cute snack!! I love Family Fun and way to go on adapting it to fit what you have on hand!!

    How do you do that!? Use something that could easily be thrown in the recycling, but instead transform it into something to use for your child's imagination? Love that castle idea!! My daughter would love it for her ponies.

    Eek, how cute is that turkey! Love that castle too and it'll be so much easier to store than those big plastic playsets they sell!

    I love the cardboard castle! I have two similar pieces of cardboard hanging out around here because I knew there was SOMETHING I could do with them!
