I saw some adorable cones on Pinterest. The tutorial for them can be found at Melissa and Kellie's fabulous blog, Icing Designs. Lillie and I had so much fun making them that we thought it would be fun to make some little ice cream sundaes too! We knew they would be perfect for when she and Lola played "Ice Cream Stand".
Yes, I know, the "I" looks way more an "L" than an "I". Whoops!
And here is the lemonade and puppet theatre now transformed into a Ice Cream Shoppe with just a few sign changes! And don't worry! This will be my last post with things you can do with the lemonade stand. Yay! (Except for the tutorial post which is almost done.) Poor Lola thinks the ice cream is real! And no, we didn't get a dog. The girls want one desperately and I am sure we will get one at some point, but not yet! =) We took these photos at our friend's home on the river and this is their little dog named Ginger.
Oh no! Lola pulled they cherry off!
Still not real, Lola! =)
Once we were done taking pictures Lillie wanted to head right out on the water.
Sweet KK took Lillie on her first ever jet-ski ride!
She's getting so grown up!
I hope you all have a fabulous Tuesday!
P.S. Because I got this post written up so late last night I didn't have time to choose a winner for the Pin It to Win It Contest so you actually have one more day! I will announce the winner tomorrow.
YOu are way too creative! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable stand! Lola looks so sweet trying to eat that "ice cream"!
ReplyDeleteYou are fabulously creative. I love this new toy you've made for the girls and I have put it on our to do list. Could you please tell me what kind of pen / drawing tool you use to draw on the signs? Thank you so much for your inspiration.
ReplyDeleteSincerely, Kathryn
Thank you so much! For the ones in this post I used a white Sharpie paint pen. I used white chalk ink pens for the signs on the lemonade stand and puppet theatre - the advantage of those ones are that they can be erased.
DeleteThe sweetest ice cream shop ever! Destined to be the families favorite!
ReplyDeleteLola is growing so quickly. Her piggy tails are getting long. Love em'!!
First Jet ski ride! Cool!! Did Lillie have a blast?
Happy Day ~ Enjoy!!
She did! I thought she was going to be scared but she had a blast!
DeleteSo cute! Amazing all the games the girls can play with just one stand. The girls look adorable as always, but Lola looks extra adorable trying to eat any of the ice creams! What a sweet heart.
ReplyDeleteMost adorable ice cream stand I've ever seen! That chocolate cone looks pretty yummy! The girls look darling in their dresses. Love Lillie's expression when Lola removed the cherry. You are an amazing mom Jennifer.
ReplyDeleteLove Love Love this post! I laughed and almost cried. Such expessions you captured. Looking forward to the tutorial because I hardly wait to make one for my 2 grandbabies! Hope you post one for those ice cream cones also. Too cute! Jennifer, you are a wonderful mother! and a very creative woman.
ReplyDeleteThis is my fav!! I love all the different uses for the stand! I'm sure a pretend super market will be one soon! I used to love ringing up my mom's groceries when I was little. The ice cream cones are adorbs. I just love this. And you guys. Great job!!
ReplyDeleteI love Icing Designs (I just learned they were local to my area!) and I love your work. What a fantastic combination of creative inspiration in your two styles. Your girls are just dolls too.
ReplyDeleteFound this on Pinterest!! Love!! Do you hand draw the signs with chalk? Curious how to make those. Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteI do freehand them. I love to write! =)
DeleteI'd love to know what font you used for the cute script font. If you tell me that is just your hand writing, I'm going to die! :) Love the font!! Love everything really!
ReplyDeleteSorry! It is my handwriting. =)
DeleteHow do you write on the chalboard? Free hand? Or do you use a projector?
ReplyDeleteLove your blog and all that you do for your girls, admirable, indeed.
Just saw the earlier comments, care to give handwriting lessons on your script? :)
DeleteWonderfull I love it:)
ReplyDeleteI love the stand! I can't wait to see the tutorial! My daughter is having an ice cream theme and this is PERFECT! It'll be great as a photobooth for the kiddos as well!
ReplyDeleteLola is so cute trying to eat the ice cream!
Do you have a tutorial on how you made your cones?
