The GO! No Sew Stockings are "snow" much fun to make! The stockings are so easy to personalize! PLUS the stockings do not involve sewing so it's the perfect project to make with young crafters! Kids can easily (and safely) cut the shapes with craft foam and AccuQuilt dies/cutters!
Both GO! No Sew Stockings Patterns are available for FREE on the AccuQuilt website.
The GO! No Sew Floral Magnets are the perfect crafting project to make with your young crafter. My daughter loved creating with me and was able to do the project 100% herself. Yes - she is 7 and she already knows that she just needs to choose her favorite GO! Die and cutting mat and start cutting! I love how safe the AccuQuilt GO! Cutters are ... NO bandaids needed for young fingers (or yourself ;) ). Can you guess which flowers she designed ? Hint...she loves glitter.

We both loved being able to create together! I loved how all the supplies were included in the Make & Play Cafe kit so we could just open the box and start crafting right away - no last minute trips to the store! The included supplies were all high quality, which I appreciated! The metal tins used to hold the felt sewing supplies are so cute and useful! I also loved the adorable packaging because you can decorate the Cafe Box for imaginative play plus store all the items inside so nothing gets lost or damaged! The entire kit is so well thought out!
My daughter is 5 years old and loved all the included crafts - the variety is fabulous! The kit is also perfect for older kids and pre-teens too as all ages love painting, making felt pastries, shrink film, and metallic markers! I'm way past pre-teen age and LOVED it!
When our Make & Play DIY Cafe arrived - my 5 year old daughter decided to create with the Crayola Model Magic first. This was our first time using Crayola Model Magic and it's amazing. It is very easy to mold and not sticky at all. It also dries super light weight - we loved it!
She rolled out the Model Magic and cut out shapes with tiny cookie cutters. Then she decided decided to make snakes (we recently went to the zoo and her brothers liked the giant snakes).
As she kept making different items - she decided on a giant heart cake with sprinkles! I love how she was able to create all these items herself! The heart took about 2 days to dry (it's quite large) and the snakes dried in 1 day. We used the included paints to paint the giant heart cake and snakes after they dried.
Felt Pastries
While my daughter was creating with the Crayola Model Magic, I began the Felt Food Stitching as I love sewing! The Make & Play Cafe contains 6 sheets of felt, which cut very easily with the included scissors. Templates for cupcakes, donuts, and cookies are included - but of course you could create your own. DMC embroidery floss and a plastic needle are included too! I used a regular embroidery needle as I found it easier for stitching through multiple layers of felt. It was so fun to stitch this cute cupcake and donut while my daughter was creating her heart cake with sprinkles!
Decorating Cafe and Play Scenes
My daughter loved the pretend play part of her Cafe! She added the included stickers plus used the included paints and metallic markers to decorate the Cafe (box) exterior. She loved using her imagination and playing with the paper dolls with her custom decorated cafe!
We still have the Shrink Film to create with. My daughter looooves shrink film so this is our next project!
We both loved the variety of included crafts: Crayola Model Magic, felt pastries (hand-stitching), painting, metallic markers, shrink film, and how the Cafe box was prefect for pretend play with the paper dolls and newly created foods!
