This woodland themed stationary set was made with tons of input from my 6 year old daughter.We recycled a plastic medicine bottle,old playdough plastic container newspaper,old toy packaging and foam scraps to make it a recycled craft

The tree trunk house made with corrugated card can hold papers, a long 12 inch scale and various knick knacks.

The faux wood penstand was made by gluing newspaper paper rolls onto a plastic medicine bottle which I had cut at a slant.I was inspired by
Merry to make the paper roll recycled craft.

The faux tree trunk trough is made from playdough and we added bark lines with a sharp tool.We sized it to hold my daughter's eraser.

The Teddy bear is made from "paper clay" and we fashioned it in such a way that it holds a pencil!

The tiny paper mushrooms were made by my daughter..she punched circles and made them into a cone and we stuck newspaper rolls as mushroom stems

We added lots of playdough roses on our house. Here is the link to the

We lined a plastic container with corrugated card to make the mushroom stem.The mushroom head was made on the bottle lid by stitching a circle of felt over sponge.

On removing the mushroom head my daughter can put her sharpener in our mushroom container.

I had terrible computer issues which was making blogging a pain ..finally the computer crashed altogether and I have lost all my photos including all the photos of how we made this recycling project.

DeleteThis is so cute! Just missing dwarfs! :)

DeleteOMG, this is just the most creative thing ever. I love the tree trunk house...so many wonderful things. I really like the sign, mushrooms, all the vines, just on and on I could go. What a fun thing to do with your daughter.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about your computer troubles.
Thank you Benzi..have borrowed hubby's laptop for this post--I dislike laptops!
Deletewow Sonia, this is so gorgeous! love all the tree trunks, especially the one for holding eraser. It is so cute..The mushrooms are also lovely. Great inputs from Prisha. I am sure she is dictating terms now. I am already getting scolding from my 1.5 yr old! ha ha
ReplyDeleteOh you are right Lavina...she has such clear cut ideas--I had wanted to add spots on the paper mushrooms and she stopped me saying it woudnt look good! She is also awfully critical and it has come to a stage I look forward to hearing her honest opinions!!
DeleteWow..Sonia,tis is top notch!!!I luv the mushrooms,clay roses,pencil stand,the house shape,fence,name board and details on the house very much....i like each n every detail :)...kudos to ur daughter too..very well done work from her side as well!!

DeleteOh WOW Sonia, this is just gorgeous! For a split second when I first saw it I thought it was a dome shaped decorated cake. My taste buds were going for a minute afterwards (LOL). Love your creation very much. Especially all the bits where you recycled and also tell your 6 year old that she is a very clever young lady with lots of amazing ideas too.
