Ice Cream Shop busy bag

Print on card stock, cut out, laminate and glue magnet to the back.  I have a small magnet board that fits perfect in the diaper bag it use with this game.

Princess Crown

My 3 year old wanted to have a princess tea party for her birthday.  We needed crowns to be princesses.  This pattern was just perfect.  Finally a crown that won't break when it is stepped on, plus it saves my foot the pain of stepping on a hard crown.
This is the website I found the pattern at.

By adding stitches and an extra row, I was able to make crowns for all the girls and their Aunt.

I hope there are no major mistakes in this pattern.  Enjoy

I also made a pattern for hand puppets for Nahal and Tala.  It can be found here.

Shimmer and Shine pets hand puppets

These hand puppets are made out of felt.  The bodies are sewn together and the pieces are hot glued on.  I used fabric paint to add detail.  I also used yarn sewn between the two body pieces for hair on Tala and a strand of small pearls for her crown.
When printing I suggest using the fit to page option.  The puppet will then be about the size of a piece of paper.

Please do not sell this pattern.
