New Ideas, Anyone?

Hi all!  Here at Fiddle & Frog, we are constantly working on new products and updating old ones.  I've said it before, but we both better live to be well over 100 so that we can make all of the fun things we think up!  Here are a few of the new things we're working on these days.

 

 

Games

An update to our MEMORY GAMES makes them less sticky (I used ModPodge as a finish before, but the pieces turned into one huge piece if they got warm).  I'm using a spray-on finish now that works much better.

 

HOPSCOTCH BOARDS are so fun!  I got this idea from a custom order on Etsy, and have since been inspired to make more.  It works best on a carpeted floor (as tile or wood may be slippery).  So fun to be able to play hopscotch all year round!



 

 

Everyone has probably seen the plastic FISHING GAMES with the little pole and fish with a magnet in their mouths.  Our take on it includes felt fish and a little wooden pole and net.  Too cute!


For the Boys

We've had requests to make more items for little boys, so we've come up with a MINI TOOLBOX SET that includes three little tools and carrying box, all made of wood. 

 

 

For the Girls & Grown-ups

To be fair, we added a little something for the girls too.  QUILTY TOTES come in two sizes, small for the little gals and large for the grown-ups.  All of the totes feature a colorful handle and lining, and are embellished with a little quilt patch on the front.  Some have a little message ('G' is for Grandma, 'M' is for Mommy, etc.) or a cute little picture (sunglasses, bugs, etc.) and all are fun and functional! 



 

Home Parties & Craft Bees

In addition to the new products we've been working on, we're adding new events to our repertoire as well.  HOME PARTIES allow you to invite your friends and family to your own home to enjoy our crafts.  (Tupperware can do it, right?)  We bring everything to you, and even provide some snacks! 

 

CRAFT BEES are similar to a Home Party, but include activities for the kiddos to make and take home.  We held our first Bee in July, and had a blast!  Contact us for more info on Home Parties and Craft Bees, and how to host your own!

 

Have a crafty day!

Recently Completed Projects

Ever wonder what we're working on here at Fiddle & Frog?  Well, we're pretty much always busy, and we have so many ideas for new projects that we both better live to be 101 to complete them all!  Here are a few snippets of some of our recently completed projects.

Mini Craft Bee

Hi friends! 

 

Looking for a creative, fun and inexpensive activity for the kiddos? 

 

Fiddle & Frog is hosting a Mini Craft Bee on Saturday, July 20 that promises to be lots of fun, and will let your little crafters flex their artistic muscles.  Kids from age two to ten are welcome to come and decorate a wooden picture frame or dress and embellish a cute wooden doll.  All projects are make-and-take, so your little artists can take home their projects!  Plus, our entire inventory will be set up for your viewing (and purchasing) pleasure!

*A small fee ($5) is required per craft to cover the cost of materials.

 

Shoot us an email if you'd like to attend, and we'll get you all the information you need.  Hope to see you there!
