I bought a wonderful set by Elena from Avalor with friends today for Anna’s collection of little dolls.

As part of the fight against ocean pollution from plastic waste, the school is holding thematic events on the topic of “Plastic Soup.” My task was to decorate the school hall with a nautical theme using recycled materials. And also remind parents and children about the rules for sorting plastic waste.

Initially, these were two small installations above the trash cans and decorations above the tables in the school hall. But then other parents joined in, and together we decorated the school stage. And during the week, the children made sea-themed crafts out of plastic.

Today at the city-wide sale for the King of the Netherlands’ birthday, I bought a set of wicker doll furniture for Barbie format for next to nothing, two rocking chairs, a wicker chair for Tonner dolls, an antique wooden washing machine, and vintage Sindi and Jem dolls.

Masha and I made such a cute little face for Anya out of a balloon.

Anyuta was gifted two Enchantimals dolls: Cherish Cheetah & Quick-Quick—a leopard girl with her little friend—and Hixly Hedgehog & Pointer—a hedgehog boy with his little hedgehog.

I crocheted a mouse out of velour yarn for Mommy. Made the front paws movable using a wire attachment. And glued eyelashes onto the little eyes. A very sweet lady came out.

Before the Easter holidays, I updated the spring theme on the stage with Easter eggs, and a colleague even brought live chicks.

In a toy shop in Gouda, I came across this lovely curly ginger girl. I’ve wanted a Kristi with curly hair for a long time, so I bought her immediately. Her outfit is also nice and well-made.

At the flea market, I found cute, rare dolls – a boy and a girl from the Mini kids collection by Simba. Unfortunately, I cannot determine their year of manufacture. Together with them, I bought a wooden swing.

Today a package arrived with the last and most important character from the Harry Potter series, with Harry himself in the form of a Quidditch player. It was very difficult to find it in stores, I had to order it online. The boy is adorable and doesn’t differ from other dolls in the series except for his outfit. This is great because I was worried he would be taller than the others.
