Barbie Storage Board

As a little girl (with two sisters) growing up in the late 80s/early 90s, we had a LOT of Barbie dolls. They (and all their accessories) were just all jumbled up in a box together. This sort of storage system from City of Creative Dreams would have been (and still would be) perfect for storing all those dolls!

Star Wars Inspired Toilet Paper Roll Characters

When I saw these cute little Star Wars guys from Mollymoo at Kids Activities Blog, I knew I had to share them! My son is in love with Star Wars. Sure he has enough of the actual figures for playtime, but who wouldn't want a few more. Especially since these are just toilet paper rolls and some paint. So cute!

Dry Erase Travel Kit

This dry erase kit from So Much to Make is genius! I absolutely love that Crayola came out with dry erase crayons and colored pencils. Putting them together in a little travel kit is perfect. Great for traveling, church, waiting at the doctor's office or a restaurant, etc.

DIY Sand & Water Table

http://www.thechildatheartblog.com/2013/08/diy-sand-and-water-table-tutorial.html

Sand and water tables can be so expensive. Yes, they're a bit more complex than this one that Child at Heart created, but it's really all about the scooping and pouring and sensory play.

Crafting for Baby - Softy Giraffe from My Farm Life Diary

Today we've got Tamara from My Farm Life Diary here today showing us how to make this cute little giraffe.

___________________________________________________________.

I'm guest posting over at Someday Crafts as part of their Crafting for Baby series.

This softy giraffe is a quick and easy toy to create to take along to a baby shower as a sweet gift.

You can create your own giraffe using the template above (Note: seam allowance not included).

You'll need fabric, various coloured ribbons, stuffing, sewing machine and thread.

Cut 2 giraffes from complementary fabrics. Turn the template over for the second piece.

Pin various lengths of ribbon loops facing inwards on the right side of the fabric along his neck for the mane and 1 piece for the tail.

Place the fabric right sides together and sew together (I double back over the ribbons to secure them firmly into place) leaving a large enough gap to turn right side out and stuff.

Fill the giraffe with stuffing and hand stitch the opening closed.

If you can't bear to part with him, whip up another one or two.

Wrap in tissue paper with a big ribbon and an Incomparable heart pendant - the perfect finishing touch.

Optional: You can sew a patch of minky fabric or corduroy onto the body pieces before stitching together to add an extra tactile element for baby.
