Onward in my plight in furnishing our little play kitchen area... Play cupcakes. (I *heart* them!)
Here's a run down of the rest of the kitchen accessories, in case you missed them:
Part 1: Market bag
Part 2: Dish Towels
Part 3: Potholders
Part 4: Felt Veggies
Part 5: Apron
Part 6: Felt Fruits
Part 7: Wooden Groceries
Anyway, back to those cupcakes. Did I mention that I love them? Cupcakes are an important part of my diet, so it's equally as important to have them accessible in the play area, right? I thought so too.
I got the idea from the Country Living magazine, where they used cookie cutters to make pin cushions. I had these cute little tiny tart containers hanging around...it got me thinking about cute little cupcakes. I was just going to hot glue some fabric in the tins, until I saw this tutorial from pinterest to make the cathedral window block. When I saw it, I knew it would be a perfect fit for my cupcake idea.
Here's what the finished blocks looked like:
Then I gathered the corners and sides with a quick, lose stitch, stuffed them, then hot glued them to the tart tins.
Then I served them up...
Then I served them up...
to an eager little boy who was excited to have a cupcake party with Earl the bear, his cat and his baby doll.
I love the little spread he set up, complete with my great-great grandmother's silver dish. Plus, he likes to have flowers on the table (just like his mama). This flower is from the play flower garden I made him a bit ago. I just love discovering how kids set their play up.
