Pattern block mats

Ova sedmica je bila baš puna nekih dešavanja i to uglavnom lijepih i pozitivnih. I kao rezulatat se već naziru neki planovi, ali više o tome uskoro u nekom novom postu :)

Nego, želim da vam pokažem čime smo se ove sedmice igrali dok smo bili kući. 

Naime, slučajno sam naišla na post u kojem postoji link za download pattern block podloga. Zadatak je od nekih osnovnih geometrijskih oblika složiti npr. voz ili auto ili leptira ili žirafu...

Oblici se mogu odprintati u boji, iskružiti i kasnije redati na iste samo bez boje, ali ako nemate printer u boji, uvijek dijete, ili vi, možete prvo obojiti oblike, pa ih tek onda izrezati.

Ovdje je link na one podloge koje smo mi prvo koristili: prekinders

A ja sam nama napravila i nekoliko dodatnih (klikom na ime ispod slike možete ih download-ovati). Naravno i dalje su transportna vozila u pitanju :)

BAGER

VOZ

KAMION

Ako vam ne odgovoaraju ovi pojmovi, na internetu vrlo lako možete naći i druge koji vašem mališanu mogu biti zanimljiviji.

Inače se ove 'slagalice' mogu i kupiti, napravljene su od drveta i mogu se koristiti za razne aktivnosti i učenje. Ja ih nažalost nisam nigdje vidjela u lokalnim prodavnicama, pa nam je ova papirna varijanta trenutno dobra zamjena.

Ugodan vikenda vam želim.

Overjoyed!

Doesn't take much to make this kid overjoyed :)

Just take him to the rails and find some trains and wagons, and he will even pose for photo (although he hate's it). If only I knew he will be so 'cooperative' I would avoid Angry Birds t-shirt, but nevermind,  I'm so happy cos duoTATA made these...

BIRTHDAY WEEK - Day 4 - Transportation party

OK, new week started, but I own you a birthday number 4 ideas, so here we go

Can you believe it, but duoBRO asked for a train party, AGAIN!?! All my tries to change it to something else failed. Only thing I could do to make it at least little bit different is to add some vehicles, so there were also a boat, a car, a plane and a truck.

Here is the invitation for this party:

As it says on the the invitation, we celebrated this time in the playground, so there was no option for a lot of things to do by ourself, but here is what we did:

And because I couldn't do more, I decided to make all three cakes for this birthday.

First one duoBRO took to his kindergarten

It was carrot cake, very simple to make, but delicious. And all kids that come to our home loooove it. I promise I will share recipe very soon (I just have to make it in original shape :) )

The cake number two was the same taste, but different shape, and it was for little party at home, just for the family.

And The Cake number 3 was for the big party

It was chocolate cake and, as I was already asked few times to share recipe, I will, hopefully tomorrow. So be sure to come back here :)

With this photo I leave you for now.

I hope you liked this and thank you for stopping by.

BIRTHDAY WEEK - Day 2 - Train party

By the time duoBRO reached second year, train obsession was already there. So, here comes the train, choo, choo...

If you have a train fan in your home you are going to love this. 

Let's start.

Here is invitation. Even if I don't like photos on the invitations so much, I just had to put this one :)

Next photo is far from perfect but is the best I've got where all decorations are visible.

The color scheme was: green-blue-orange, so mostly everything was in those colors.

Garlands are made from 'hamer' paper (I already explained in some earlier post that is the thick paper and I don't know the right name in English for it). I had prepared the 'happy birthday' sign to print, but for some reason I didn't, so I just used temperas and wrote the sign.

Labels on the juices are also custom made.

With this, kids and parents could know which juice belongs to whom.

If you want to use this here is the label without the name:

I used Hobo fonts (you can download it here ) but you can change it and use some other fonts, of course.

I actually made a train out of cardboard boxes for this birthday. It took me quite a lot of time to build and paint it, but it was worth it cos our boy was thrilled with it and played in it for hours (and later we used those wagons as a toy boxes for a quite some time :) ).

I don't have the photos of the process of making it, but I can tell you that I used: 4 boxes and regular white wall paint, I just added pigments to get to color I wanted.

duoBRO t-shirt has a applique on it, which is also made according to the theme. Here is the bigger picture:

   

And at the end, I will show you how our cake looked like:

I hope you liked this even more that the first party. If so, come back tomorrow :) we have more things to share :)
