The Buttonhole Ribbon Snake

This is the buttonhole ribbon snake that I made recently for my kid to play with. She is getting pretty good at it though. Since she will start buttoning her own clothes soon, I find this buttonhole snake a good practice for her. It is simple to make and easy to carry around too. A wonderful project that I adopt from a creative blog.

Please refer on how to make it here.

Pink daily schedule

After much thought about creating a daily schedule that my little one can toy with, I have come out with this clothing pegs daily schedule. It was really fun and easy to make and also my little one loves it very much. She can choose what she wants to do for the day / week and we plan ahead. Partly she gets to participate in the decision making and also get to train her motor skills as well.

The materials I used are mainly ribbons, recycle cards and clothing pegs.

Hope you love this too!

Bean Bag numbers

I have decided to create Bean Bag numbers for my little one to play with.

It is a project that I picked up from Chez Beeper Bebe. Here's the link here for the tutorial. http://chezbeeperbebe.blogspot.com/2010/01/tutorial-and-pattern-counting-bean-bags.html

Here's the Numbers from 1-10. It's reallly easy to make and my little one loves it so much!
She has even found a pail to put all of the bean bags in it.

with the food and most importantly the kids were happy.
