Recently I posted about Sunnyboy's new outdoor play kitchen
and as well as his new kitchen Sunnyboy also has a new (old but new to us) play house in
the garden. It was given to us and Nozy put it together at the end of
February. It's a lovely place for the neighbourhood children to play and
host mud pie parties,
and currently somewhere dry to play during the April showers we've had.
When Nozy finished building the play house it got a thumbs up from
Sunnyboy.
It's already got a little table and chairs in it but a couple of weeks ago we decided to make it more cosy by adding a rug and hanging up pictures. We also made some bunting.
To make the bunting we used an old damaged children's book and cut out the pictures we liked.
Then we stapled the pictures to a long strip of fabic,
and hung it up in the play house.
We're really pleased with how cheerful the play house looks now with our homemade bunting.

Thanks so much for the terrific idea. We made one for our playhouse after seeing yours (http://littlehomeschoolblessings.blogspot.com/2012/04/paper-bunting-tutorial.html). Wouldn't they be beautiful in a baby's nursery, too!
