Crafternoons with Poppy: Watermelon Letter Holder

I've had people ask me "How do you have so much time to do crafts with Poppy?". Umm well... Poppy is kind of like my guinea pig. I test out crafts with her before conducting sessions with other paying customers (here's the website: www.buggybeekids.com). That way, I kill two birds with one stone - I make sure the crafts work, and I know how much to simplify/make more challenging for younger/older kids, and at the same time, Poppy also has fun.

Then came the question: Do guinea pigs eat watermelons? No idea. I just know that mine really loved making this craft!

We've reached a point where Poppy now says "I wanna do some craft!". After "I love you Mama", it's one of the nicest things I am hearing.

So, I made a watermelon letter holder with a group of older kids. You can hang it on your child's door and "send" her letters. It's really fun to make and I was surprised that Poppy had no trouble with the ribbon stringing.

Umm, copyright OK? Feel free to use the idea but don't forget to credit ok?

Poppy got really excited when I said it's a letterbox, and she can write letters to us.

Ta da! I only helped with the seeds
