A birthday crown

It’s so fun anticipating a birthday…
Thinking, planning and creating *smile*
{I always think it is much more fun to give than receive}

And so I have been happily making little gifts….
Like this simple and sweet birthday crown *smile*

I’ve borrowed the style from the sweet Queen of Hearts crown…
 …that Little Miss Q was given for her birthday
And added a dinosaur twist for my dinosaur loving lad
And I’ve added my template for others to try *smile*
I love this adjustable ribbon tie style!
{mine is about 32 inches ~ about 80 cm}

Happy days, Kelly

Below is a linky list so you can join in the fun and start sharing what you bake with your kids! Family favourites, new recipes, cultural or traditional recipes – you name it, we’d like to read about them, and if you include the details, try them out 🙂

Dino Boy and I made some super fun dinosaur imprint biscuits
back when I first started Happy Whimsical Hearts last year…

 And since we are still in the midst of dino love… I thought it would be fun to revisit them
*smile*

You need:

1 cup flour 
3/4 cup self raising flour 
125g butter 
125g caster sugar 
1 egg 
few drops of vanilla 
3 tablespoons cocoa
    Cream butter and sugar before adding the egg and vanilla
    Next add the flour and cocoa – mix into a good dough
    Make small slightly flat biscuit balls before pressing plastic dinosaurs into them!
    Bake for around 20 minutes at 160°C (320°F)

    And now, we can’t wait to see what you’ve been up to in the kitchen with your kids!
