Mushroom Match Up!

Here's a matching game I made up? Altered? Embellished? Expanded?

Mushroom Match Up! It has 2 levels. One for the 2 year old who is learning colours. The top of the small mushroom matches the dots and stem of the big mushroom.

As the child grows and begins to count and learn numbers, they can match the numeral and the dots, but still use the matching colours to confirm their answer.

And they look so nice and shiny.

Tomorrow, I will show you the pouch that i made to carry them in. All games need a pouch.

Have a good one,
Amanda

Piggy ball

Here's the piggy ball.

This time I wet felted the ball. First, I needle felted the shape of it. Adding layers like needle felting,but not making them so tight and dense.

And here is the after I wet felted it. It did shrink a bit.

After it dried, it wasn't as dense as the needle felted one. I think i prefer the denser ball.
Little piggy tail.

And with the ears on the top.

And the happy piggy. At least, I think he is. Is that his tongue sticking out?

Here's the post on the doggie ball
and theowl ball

This happened on the weekend. I have a scrapbook page in mind for this one. Imagine, me with a scrapbook page in my mind! It's been a long time since that happened. Just need to clear the sewing clutter off my desk to make room for paper, scissors and glue!


Have a good one,
Oh, False alarm on the computer breakdown. I just plugged it in, closed the cover and did a little heekeejeekee dance around it.
And pressed the power button for a long time. It made weird sounds and then powered up!. Hurrah! But hubby still thinks it's on it's last legs. shhhh.
