Build me a house mummy!!

This Wednesday was family craft day at home....

I have been wanting to make more crafts activity with Mona, and got the brilliant idea of making a doll house out of cardboard for Mona (ok, it's nothing new but for someone who is not so arty or crafty like me... it was very exciting...)

So, the 3 of us made a doll house for Mona and her dolls, out of an old nappy box and other cardboard boxes and other scraps materials we had around the house.
It was really fun, first we because we spent family time together, and secondly because it was cool to see Mona engaged in such an activity and also for us get creative and build something together.
Mona really helped out to choose what colors to use for the house and the furniture and curtains and what we needed in the house, she had her kiddie scissors in her hands all the time, ready to 'snip, snip' (cut) on demand!! lol
I really got into it as well, i made most of the house and the furniture, and i actually loved it. Hubby made the roof and chimney, and put the colored papers around the house.
And Mona even made a drawing (she said it is a flower) to frame on the wall of the house!!
I also made a Greatest Name drawing in a frame to put on the wall of the house... A house wouldn't be complete without the Greatest Name in it!! It's a Baha'i Doll House with Baha'i little people in it.. lol...Mona even wanted me to draw a picture of 'Abdu'l-Baha to put on the wall, but i couldn't do that...

Here are some pictures of when we were building the house...
I haven't had time to take pics of the house now that it is completed, because Mona had taken it to play with and will not let anyone come close to it... it's her house!! lol.. She even tries to go inside of the house while she is playing with it.. so funny...
