Princess Play Mat

Today I am sharing a project my sister made for my sweet niece Marley's 3rd birthday.  She has made play mats for each of her older three boys- a city, a zoo, and a farm.

Marley's is a Princess Play Mat.

My sister draws the outlines on muslin with pencil and then colors it in with Sharpies.  I love this project because it is so interactive and it can be packed up in a bag with a few select toys and taken to ballgames and parks really easily. 

 

Here are some of the fun activities Marley can have her princesses do:

1. Jump off the dock or go down the slide to swim in the moat.

2. Have a fancy dinner in the banquet hall.

3. Dance in the grand ballroom of the castle.

4. Take a nap or have a slumber party.

5. Paddle the rowboat around the moat.

6. Read a book or have a Bible study.

7. Arts and crafts time- painting and coloring!

8. Workout- lift some weights or do yoga.

9. Swing on a tree swing.

10. Swim and play in the pool.

11. Jump on the trampoline.

12. Ride a wild dragon.

13. Play hopscotch with their friends.

Doesn't she do such a good job! So fun!

Some details:

My Sister's Amazing Children's Books

I am not posting a Tuesday 10 today because I have something even more exciting to share with you!

My sister has written and illustrated a couple children's books. She wrote them as gifts for her children and got them published on lulu.com.

The first one is called I Love You More. Here are a few of the pages.

The second one is called Prayers for My Princess. Here are a few of the pages.

Isn't she amazing- I love all the illustrations and the messages are ones that children need to hear all the time.

She does offer these for sale on lulu.com too!
