DIY HOUSE DECAL


The LO has a new spot! She has her own little nook tucked in our bedroom.  It has a mattress on the floor, "Baba" the bear and some books.  To complete the space, I decorated the wall behind it with houses using washi tape.  Yes! washi tape!

DIY CEREAL BOXES FOR PRETEND PLAY


Just for fun, I decided to make some pretend food for the LO's kitchen.  This is such an easy DIY project! I had some individually packed cereal boxes and I figured it could go in the play kitchen.

DIY CARDBOARD GUITAR STAND



My husband got the LO her very first guitar and she loves it.  She carries it around the house and pretends to be like daddy.  But it is driving me crazy as to where to put it.  And so, I made a guitar cardboard stand.  Yes, crazy.  But, I did.

This is a super late post... Since school is out, I am now able to finally finish this post! For summer, I made an ice cream shop for pretend play.

FOR THE LOVE OF LEGO



The LO can now enjoy playing with Legos and I am so excited.  I love Legos, I think they're one of the best toys ever made.  At this time, she can't build yet.   She is at the pretend play stage and the model that she has allows her to play with farm animals. I am teaching her to feed the animals, put the animals to sleep and open or close the barn doors.  I am also teaching her turn taking like "My turn", "your turn" and "we're waiting".

POST OFFICE PRETEND PLAY


It's community helpers month.  I set-up the kitchen area as a post office pretend play for the kids. I made a post office sign and a price list.  I wrapped a box with blue construction paper to make the the mail box.  I made some letters out of carton boxes and even got small boxes from the post offices.   I put some papers and pens to encourage the children to write letters to their friends.
