This post is dedicated to Tawny.. my awesome sister (in law). She gave Katelyn this present for Christmas and Katelyn spent hours and hours playing with it. If you look closely at the picture you will notice that there are 600 stickers... that's right... 600. And there are 10 different themes (ummmm.... I think Katelyn invented this). So... you dress each girl in a different theme (choosing from the 600 stickers). This takes awhile (maybe 3 days) because there aren't just clothing items... you also add accessories and the accessories HAVE to match the outfit and the theme. When that is done... you cut them out (this takes a whole day or more... THERE ARE 80, REMEMBER)... then attach each girl to a large popsicle stick (because they are going to be puppets... of course). So... after a few days... we have 80 puppets. She wants to give some to her friends so we have to attach a special ribbon to these ones and then make a card to go along with the puppet explaining what it is and how it is to be used. These puppets she gives away must match her friends' personalities (which really isn't a problem because there are 80 to choose from). Well... she decides she can only part with 4 (count yourself lucky if you got one). The rest must be named and the name must be written on the popsicle stick. This takes about a day and a half to come up with 76 girl names (some were quite inventive)... Tayo, Labi... Then they must divided up into group and laid on the floor ( not too hard because there are already 10 themes). Once this is done, a backdrop must be created for each grouping.. so 10 backdrops were drawn and colored. Then we need a STAGE to put the backdrops in... I knew a kept that shoe box for a reason. Then she proceeds to rehearse a play for each group and then perform each play. WOW! It's like the book: If you give a pig a pancake (which I love)! I truly love Katelyn's creativity. She is amazing and smart and a little exhausting!
