FUN FRIDAY - charlie's sugar shack (part 1)

welcome to CHARLIE'S SUGAR SHACK!

with life's many responsibilities + distractions, charlie and i needed a little treat....and what a treat it was to craft our very own ice cream shop. 

a quick stop to jo-ann fabrics yielded all sorts of goodies for this super quick DIY kiddie project. together, we set up our store:

~ large pom poms = assorted ice cream flavors 

~ tiny red pom poms = cherries

~ cardboard + brown felt  = cones 

~ grosgrain ribbon = cone embellishment

~ yellow, red, dark green + dark blue felt = fruit toppings (e.g., bananas, strawberries, blueberries)

~ brown yarn = chocolate sauce

~ poly stuffing = whipped cream

~ sparkly sequins = colored sprinkles

other essentials:

~ misc. markers, paper, stapler

~ easel (or tape a sign to a tree or chair back)

~ cash register

~ spoons, straws + napkins

~ ice cream scoop

~ ice cream pints

~ banana split containers + ice cream cups 

 

(tip: wash out pints/containers/cups after you've eaten the real thing)

as you can see, charlie was a master scooper + concocted all sorts of delicious combos. 

it's been a fun friday, indeed!
