My neice is turning 2 and my friends daughter is turning 3 - I thought I would sew them a little apron and matching chefs hat and then give them a packet of the Greens Cupcake's.
Is this appropriate for the neice turning 2? I am thinking it will be ok and am pretty sure that its ok for a 3 year old? Help??? -------------

That is so cute! What's greens cupcakes, is it like a mix so they can make cupcakes themselves (well, with help lol)? Cos that would be cool as...

| YGreat idea! You can also get cute little sets of rolling pin/cookie cutters etc quite cheaply, and have seen more expensive versions in kitchen shops. Also you could buy each girl a brightly coloured mixing borl of their own, and put the rest of the pressie inside the bowl! |

Ooo and I love the idea of the bright mixing bowl for it all to go in... they have them at the $2 shop... ------------- Mama to DS1 (5 years), DS2 (3 years) and... http://alterna-tickers.com" rel="nofollow">

| Perfect! Hannah LOVES baking. Mind you, mostly it's because she eats all the mixture. |

Pleased it meets approval. Will go and buy the material tomorrow. I was also thinking of a bowl for it to go in but couldn't find a cheap one but will head to the $2 shop.
Do you reckon it would work for boys also? Although boys usually get 3 packets of seed, small watering can and a tray with 3 little pots. Works out to be about $12 from The Warehouse. -------------

I would so do it for boys! Manly material for apron, blue bowl, and maybe a dinosaur or similar cookie cutter!
Cant remember who it was, but someone on here was packaging up ingredients and writing out a cookie recipe, and buying cutters etc for christmas gifts. |
