Sweet goodies

Sweet Anticipation by Helen Dardick

Hurray, hurry my friends, three great goodies await you on the web.

Anais Massini is offering a beautiful mini-doll theatre project based on the little Red Riding hood fairytale until August 31st. Just print, cut out, fix and play! (found via one of my all time faves, Ribambelles et Ribambins).


Helen Dardick of Orange You Lucky! fame has designed two super-cute "back to school" labels for you to download here. Aren't they lovely?



Last but not least, I found these beautiful boxes to make at kcs (another blog in the kris's color stripes + one boat a day family). Easy peasy projects for kids - enjoy!
