Izzy's Ice-Cream Shop



I had an absolute ball making this little Ice Cream Parlour for Isobel. I am not even sure where the idea came from but I was lying in bed this morning (at 2am) unable to sleep and planning its creation.

We picked up the old box from Aldi and then it was a quick stop at Sams Discount Warehouse
for all the bits and bobs needed:

* Polystyrene balls - ice cream scoops

* Pink, brown & cream felt - ice cream cover/flavours


* Pink and White poster paint

* Coloured paper - make cones, lollipops & sign

* Coloured ice cream sticks - lollipop sticks

* Cheap doliy table runner - curtains

* Ribbon

Voila! Hours of indoor or outdoor entertainment for the weekend ahead.

We plan to start the baby nursery on Sunday so hopefully this will keep the monkey occupied for a while!
