How Many Calories Has A Chow Mein

Reuse, CREATE AND PLAY!


When I was a little girl often asked my mother what had toys at my age ... my favorite was the Barbie and Cicciobello, but I suspected that she had not had playthings quite as pretty ... His favorite toy was, in fact, a rag doll, unfortunately, was lost during a move, with whom he spent entire afternoons beside the stove in winter, and in the garden under a beautiful fig tree in the summer. There were no prams and strollers for dolls at that time, and to have something that even remotely resembled a cradle you have to work very fancy, with few, very few materials available ... That's then that my mother had built a cradle for her rag doll using a simple shoebox: he used the cover for putting it straight on the short side, had fixed on the cover a piece of cloth edged with lace to decorate it, and the help of her grandmother had sewn cloth and cover for the bed of his beloved playmate
... To me, that I had the wheel of Barbie, the pool of Barbie, Barbi of the tent and bedroom, bathroom with soap bubbles, a fridge and a closet chock full of clothes for dolls, that story made you laugh: a shoebox?? What laughter ....
If I think back now to that story smile: for the pleasure of remembering a childhood episode of my mom, of course, but also because today I think the most beautiful games, the ones that are more fun, those who remember a distance of many years, those which, if carried out with their imagination and creativity, are able to give you great satisfaction, are also the most simple. In addition, reuse things - paper, cardboard, cloth, tape, etc.. - Today is very important and is a small gesture of civilization.
Here is two simple, easy to use kit with small cardboard furniture that - listen, listen - you're right YOU TO ACHIEVE!
, speak, basically it takes only a little imagination, a half hour of time and a bit of cardboard ... Want to try?
The first kit includes a cloth doll, blanket, sheet, quilt and pillows in the pictures also show you how to make the bed, but let go and let your imagination a little as you like and dislike:






here are some things you will need: old cardboard boxes, glue, scissors, utility knife, small decorations, etc. ....

I used a long box to make the base of the bed, and a piece of cardboard for the head ...

then I added a little decoration ...

This is the second kit that I propose. Remember: cardboard furniture you have to do them, I give you just a little inspiration ... The kit consists of hand:

Cushion and pillow embroidered floral cross-stitch ....


two dolls, two quiet ladies who spend the afternoon sitting in the cardboard! As seen in previous photo, you can do, always with recycled cardboard, a small table, on which to small objects (a Dolcino of cloth, shells, small decorations ...)



Do you want to recycle some cardboard and play with a little imagination?
