Strawberry Shortcake
Recently, Scout has become very interested in Strawberry Shortcake. We have a few little figurines: Strawberry Shortcake, Lemon Meringue, Blueberry Muffin, Raspberry Torte and Orange Blossom. I'm pretty sure we gathered these from kids' meals and they've been in her toy bins for way over a year. She never really played with them, until now. Of course, she has her little house for her little princesses, a wooden castle for her Playmobil people, but nowhere for the Strawberry Shortcakes to live. Well, we changed that. We grabbed some Similac baby formula containers (I knew there was a good reason we saved those for 3 years!), Daddy cut some windows and doors, and we added some paint. Easy-peasy. Berry houses. We're keeping them outside in the playhouse (our tiny house is overflowing with toys), and Scout has had a blast setting them up around the back yard and putting the little Strawberry Shortcakes inside.

What a great idea! My daughter is really into Shopkins right now... has a ton of them! We have a ton of formula containers too, so maybe I can come up with some shops for her. Thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I'm glad I'm not the only one who has trouble throwing away these containers!
