Birthday Gift

Inspired by the invitation of this party, I made a small chef's kit for a 6 year old.


Sometimes it's hard to think of what to make for kids who seem not to need anything, but this is a very grateful, sweet girl and I think she'll love this. The plan today is to laminate the empty menu and provide a dry-erase marker so that she can write her own menu and constantly change it. I don't think she reads yet, but I'm sure she can draw pictures of the food.


It looks better displayed on a live model and Alice was pleased to oblige.
