DIY Mermaid Skirt Essentials

For a Nuffnang event, Le Misch had several themes to choose from: Underwarter; Hawaiian; Jungle; and Brittish Tea Party. It came to no surprise that she chose to be a mermaid. It was not exactly the easiest and I simply refused to buy a character themed one from the toy store. So we did a little research online and found one that was fairly easy to make using materials we already have at home. And viola, a non-restricting mermaid skirt that that cost me nothing but is definitely worth something when worn with such delight. 

She was so happy to have a hand in creating this costume and she completed her mermaid look herself with creations from her jar of beads.

To my toddler, a toy's novelty lasts about one to two weeks, three weeks tops. Save for the quintessential paint and crayons, its this brilliant jar of snap-together colorful beads that has actually made an exception. It was gifted to her last Christmas and up until now it hasn't lost its charm! 

Every now and then I'd catch her playing with this 500-piece set which I'm very much certain is no longer complete. I love that it comes in different shapes, sizes and colors. All of which you can put together and make jewelry of.  

Best part is when she comes up to me and show me her creations. If its not a ring, its a ton of necklaces she likes to pile on me. This is easily one of her more favored toys and it seems to be mine too!

B. Pop Arty makes for a perfect gift for girls four years and above. Mischka had this before she turned three and loved it from day one. Adult supervision of course is necessary but one that is fun, most definitely!
