Teaching teacups

This is one of my appliqued teacups which will be fastened to the walls of the play houses. The idea that the child learns different fastenings such as buttons, zips, etc. This one is fixed together with velcro and will be fixed to the walls with velcro. i aim to make them almost camoflaged into the walls so that the item is not immediately obvious. The cups and saucers, teapots, cakes etc will encourage pretend, imitative and imaginative play.

Play Dens

This is a very rough image of what i'm trying to acheive, from the outside the playhouse will look like the birdhouses but inside will be like a teahouse.


Whilst looking for Emily Dysons shop Couverture i came across a few beautiful childrens shop's on Kensington Road. One had gorgeous hand appliqued play dens in the window. I keep looking but still no digitally printed ones.
