Disney DIY | Wooden Peg Princess

Filed Under: DIYS, HOME, KIDS, KIDS CLUB // April 25, 2022

AD | this post contains affiliate links

It’s no secret that over here at TMC, we love to create, make and DIY. Whether we’re baking, making fairy potions, very hungry caterpillar recycled play or wooden peg princess…there’s a huge satisfaction when you look at a picture and figure out how to make it with what you have at hand. Whilst I worked for Disney, I worked on a few projects, including writing a ‘Craft Manual’ for Youth Activities. I have no idea if it is still being used at all (I heard from someone a year or so ago that it was still floating around The Lab on the Magic!), but I thought I would share one of my favourites.

What is that favourite? These wooden peg princess – though we also made princes and other characters as well. This “Petite ‘Punzy” (Rapunzel) as we nicknamed her is definitely top of my favs list, but you can certainly mix up the colours, hair and dress styles to make other favourites!

Duration: 15-30 minutes
Age: 5 and up

Supplies

  • Wooden peg
  • Tissue Paper or streamer
  • Sticky foam or card
  • Scissors
  • Glue – we used Elmers glue, but any gel glue (or hot glue with supervision) will work!
  • Embroidery thread or wool
  • Ribbon

Instructions

  • Pleat and glue the tissue paper around the middle of the wooden peg (this makes the skirt). If you’re not sure how to pleat, all you need to do is fold the tissue paper backwards and forwards along one side of the tissue paper, creating an accordion or zig zag shape/pattern. You then glue the pleated side around the middle of the wooden peg princess to make their skirt.
  • Create the bodice of the dress out of sticky foam/card (this also helps to secure the skirt). I literally cut a rectangle strip and cut a small notch out of the top/middle of the strip to create a “sweetheart” neckline in this case.
  • Make hair out of tissue paper, wool or embroidery thread. Tip if making Rapunzel: I halved the length of thread, tying the looped end into a knot whilst I braided it. Once braided, I untied the knot and arranged the loops over the top of the wooden peg. This allowed me to glue it easily, and cover the top of the peg (and ensured she didn’t have any bald spots!)
  • Decorate as desired!

Weekly round up time! We love looking through #o Weekly round up time! 

We love looking through #oursummertimescrapbook posts and seeing what you’re up to. 

I’ve picked these posts from the last week because they show a range of styles I discussed in stories today. You have close ups of hands, wide shots, some with faces, some without. Photos from above and photos at your child’s level. Never be afraid to experiment when capturing memories. It all helps to tell the story of the moment ❤️

One of our lovely TMC followers needs some advice on how to deal with an upsetting situation ❤️

What advice would you have for our follower in regards to setting boundaries without upsetting anyone? 

Have you been in a similar situation? Do you have a strained relationship with a family member? What advice can you share?

❤❤❤❤

TMC always aim to be a supportive and inclusive space, and we often receive messages asking for advice on all sort of things.

As much as we will always try our best to give advice we are only a little admin team and sometimes it may be things we do not know much about.

So therefore we wanted to create a way for you all to ask us (and all followers) for advice, and hopefully get the support you need.

It will always be anonymous  and it can be on any subject. We are an open minded bunch and won't judge anyone.

❤️

And finally, keep the comments kind! ❤️

Let’s talk about different play schemas… Does Let’s talk about different play schemas…

Does your little one show any signs of play schemas in their everyday play? My little boy is currently very much in the rotation schema, he will spin anything and everything he can and I have to say he’s pretty good at it! 

There are lots of Different types of schemas I’ve listed a few below for you, can you spot anyone’s your little ones do? let us know below! 

Trajectory - Exploring movement and forces through throwing, jumping and kicking. Their behaviour can sometimes seem challenging – throwing food and toys, leaping on sofas, or kicking off their shoes.

Transporting - Fascinated by taking things from place to place. They may fill bags, baskets and pockets with tiny objects to carry around it, or load up toy buggies, trucks and ride-ons with things to move about.

Rotation - Obsessed with spinning and turning. Look out for them turning knobs and lids, watching the laundry go round and round in the washing machine, or spinning the wheels on buggies, bikes and toy cars.

Transforming - Mixing their breakfast into a mush or pour their juice into their dinner, it could be part of a transforming schema; a fascination with changing the state of things, painting, making mud pies are all perfect activities to support this schema.

Enveloping - Wrapping themselves up the curtains or put blankets over their head, may be exhibiting an enveloping schema. It may not be just themselves they like to wrap up; children with this schema are also often fascinated with wrapping up objects and putting things inside envelopes and bags.

Enclosing - Love to hide in small spaces – in a laundry basket, under a bush or in a swimming pool locker, for instance.

Connecting - Joining objects, putting together toy train tracks and roadways, tying laces, sticking velcro, or using sticky tape and glue. Some like to disconnect them too – knocking down or pulling apart their creations can be part of their fascination.
Feeling like a failure A failure of a mum... Bec Feeling like a failure

A failure of a mum...

Because I can see people's looks when he is having his crazy tantrums. 

When he is kicking, screaming, shouting....I can see! All the judging looks!

"What a horrible boy" "she can not have raised him properly" "she must have done something wrong" "What is wrong with him?"

Sunday night at the airport was such a low point for me. Kaiden had his biggest ever tantrum and playing up being silly.

I just got to a point where I felt useless. Whatever I said or did he acted up. People were staring at us. 

Some of them muttering something to a friend, others shaking their heads. Others just staring.....

I think that was my low point as a parent...I wanted to just walk away...curl up like a ball and cry.

But there was nowhere to go...because I was there on my own...with two kids.

The last few weeks I have felt so low. Like such a failure! Because no matter what I do or say, he just doesn't listen when he is in his "moods"

And it always ends with me loosing my temper because I just don't know what else to do! I have cried myself to sleep a lot. Wishing my mum ws here to guide me! 

So why am i sharing this? Well this is not a pity post, I just wanted to share that there can be some very low lows in motherhood. 

So whenever you feel like you hit that low point, rest assured that you are not alone! We all feel like we can't take anymore at some point. 

When you do, speak to someone! A partner, parent, friend.....or even us!! Because it does help a little to feel less lonely in it all ❤️❤️❤️

I mean, kitchen....bathroom...living room, bedroom I mean, kitchen....bathroom...living room, bedroom. There is always somewhere to clean. 

And it never feels as if it stays clean for more then a minute with kids around! 🙈

What part of the house is the place you dread the most to clean?
