     Topic: crafts for kids - what to make this year     Posted: 10 June 2008 at 10:06pm |

   Last year for Jake and Taine we made them a Train table for xmas.  they (eventually) loved it and now I am trying to think of something else I could start making them this year, for birthday and xmas.  I looked up craft+children on google, but of course it just came up with crafts kids can do.
 
 any ideas?

   sand pit they have, table and chairs they have...blankets might be a goer actually.  they have baby cot blankets with names...but not a quilt...
 
 and have name things for doors.  I went a bit nuts while studying and "bored"

   lol bored aka procrastination?  Or is that just me    
My friend makes these awesome polarfleece blankets, I can't remember what she does round the edges but she cuts out the letters of their name in a different colour of polarfleece and sews them on... looks really funky, in cool bright colours.

   We are making Leah a wooden farm for her birthday, we have all wooden animals and are screwing the farmhouse and barn to a piece of wood so it stays solid, more like a dollshouse I guess just with animals instead!
