The surprise

 -Hi Rebecca, that's nice! Can we play together?
-I am very busy at the moment Hannah, why don't you watch some cartoon on TV..!




-Will you play with me mum?
-Sorry honey, I have to finish this, maybe you can play with your toys for a while!



-Hi dad! What are you doing?
-I am cutting this plywood with the saw!
-Can I help you?
-I am afraid this is not a task for you little one!



-Can I help with whatever you are doing Oliver?
-I don't think you can Hannah, you need some skill to use these paints without making a mess!



-Nobody wants to play with me grandma!
-Don't worry dear, well... , I can only say that they are preparing a surprise for you!
-For me? What? When?
-I cannot say that! But very soon you will know! Until then you can help me with the cookies!



-SURPRISE!
-It's a puppet theatre! With curtains, and puppets and everything...! I've always wanted one! Thank you all! Can I show it to my friends? 
-Of course you can dear! 



Hannah gave her first performance and it was a great success! Her friends enjoyed both the show and grandma's cookies too! 




-Thank you so much everyone!

 For the puppets I used tiny bits of plush fabric from old dolls. I had to make them twice to achieve the right size. For the theatre I used foam board and acrylics. Here are some pics of the procedure (the puppets in the photo are the big ones).

  1. What a sweet surprise, Rebecca must be overjoyed! The puppets are adorable, especially the rabbit's fuzzy ears. I like the scene with all the babies watching, how cute!

    I am in awe of your creativity and skills, happy holidays!

  2. The narrative follows Hannah, a young Sylvanian character, as she seeks companionship while her family members are occupied with their tasks. Her grandmother, noticing Hannah's longing, hints at a surprise being prepared for her. The climax reveals a delightful puppet theater, a gift from her family, which brings immense joy to Hannah and becomes a source of entertainment for her friends. The post not only highlights the charm of Sylvanian Families but also emphasizes themes of family bonding and thoughtful gestures. The accompanying photographs, especially those featuring the adorable plush puppets, enhance the storytelling, making it a heartwarming read for enthusiasts of miniature artistry and storytelling.
