Avery absolutely loved this Hello Paper Dolls set that we received some years ago in a giveaway from Hello Hanna. It is the epitome of cute! There is also a set of stencils that you can use to design your own clothes with your favorite paper or prints. You can still find some of their book kits and placemat sets on Amazon—just do a search for “Hello Hanna."
Avery made this necklace to send to one of her cousins (with help from me). Her mother had a great idea to start a correspondence between our girls--not letters, but artwork or crafts that they make for each other. It kind of reminds me of the Happy Mail series on Giver's Log. Love this idea and Avery can’t wait to see what arrives in the mail!

Avery and Nate fell in love with this wooden mixer right out of the box. They were fascinated with how the beaters worked (using the knob to make the beaters turn) and they enjoyed pouring the “flour" and "brown sugar” in the mixing bowl. We decided to make cupcakes using shredded paper, pom poms and this Animal Parade Cupcake Kit. I wonder what these two pastry chefs will be mixing up next! This little mixer is a great first “countertop appliance” for any play kitchen.
Thanks to The Land of Nod for sending us this mixer and cupcake kit.
