Anything in miniature is just irrisistable, is it not? Penelope and I found these little miniature plastic toys at the toy store a couple weeks ago. They're no taller than half an inch, making them the perfect travel play buddies.
I'm always trying to find appropriate quiet toys for Penelope and Felix to play with during our church services on Sundays. They can be the hardest 3 hours of the week if I don't come prepared with ample toys and snacks. Problem is, often times they get bored with the toys they typically play with. The idea struck for Sunday-only toys when I found these little cuties.
They were great last week, but we were missing scenery. The little pouch my friend made is perfect for housing all of the animals and any coordinating accessories so my mind set to work to make something collapsible that would fit inside the little pouch (isn't it too cute?!?).
Making little cut-outs with Silhouette's chipboard did the trick! Designing the scenery was a breeze, too. It was a fun little mommy-daughter activity for us to decorate the scenery together.
I'm not sure I've seen this kind of excitement from her in a while.
Now my only hope is that I can hide these little goodies during the week. She wants to play with her toy scene all the time!
Yesterday started a huge promotion over at Silhouette. They're offering huge discounts on not only the machines, but a whole pack of goodies. If you don't have a machine yet, I advise you get one with this promo. You'll get so many fun starter goodies you'll be crafting well into the thick of winter.
