This one was her favorite. She named him, “Mr. Chit Chat” because he looks like he’s talking.

What a fun idea, and great pictures, too!
I love everything about this post. First of all, I haven't seen a merry go round in years; they seem to have removed all of them from MA. Secondly, the photos are gorgeous. And, to top it all off, this is a great idea! You are awesome!
Those are really darling.
@ Christy — Those merry go rounds are hard to find here too. This is the only park I know of that has them. There are three at this one park! It even has real see-saws… and get this… METAL slides! Emily really gets moving on those — especially when we bring wax paper for her to sit on. Hee hee!
Your girls are so cute! I just recently came upon your blog and have gotten so many great ideas from it.
I have some awards for you on my blog.

You can't find real merry go rounds anywhere…Lucky.
The necklaces are adorable too. I think you might be the only mom I know who'd think to bring craft stuff to the park. Very cool.
what a great idea! I love it!
we have merry-go-rounds at all of our parks. Too bad my son does not enjoy them too much. I love the pics. The girls both look like they had a blast!
What an easy and cute idea.
Those are adorable! I love that you did a craft in the park. 🙂

Fun craft! Whatever happened to all of the merry-go-rounds? I love the old playgrounds, bring back lots of memories!
@ Ivy — The park is the perfect place for doing art! I never realized that was a rare thing, but now that you mention it…. I don't think I've ever seen another mom with craft stuff there either! I almost always bring extra supplies in case some of the other moms or kids want to join us. It's so much fun!
What a sweet little strawberry! I can see us doing this soon… please can you share it on 'Friday's Nature Table' on my blog tomorrow…
Blessings and magic.
great craft! and crafting in the great outdoors – even better!
i love the smiles on your girls' faces. they're obviously having a great time.
