My sweet girl has been a fan of Nickelodeon Nick Jr's "Bubble Guppies" for quite some time. However, recently, it has become somewhat of an obsession for her. She loves this show! It is so funny to have conversations with her when she randomly throws in a comment about Molly, Gil, Deema, Oona, Nonny, Goby, and even Mr. Grouper! She had been going on and on about wanting a "Guppies party" for days. I thought she was talking about her birthday party (which is 9 months away) so I was like, "Okay, honey...if you want a Bubble Guppies party, that's what we'll have." Well, little did I know she meant NOW! My best response was, "If you are good at Nene's tomorrow, we will have our own Bubble Guppies party." Can I just tell you, she woke up at 3:30 AM and would NOT go back to sleep! I guess she thought the earlier she got up the faster she could get through the day!
Her favorite female character on the show is Molly. So, when I picked her up from daycare after work, we went to Hobby Lobby and bought a white t-shirt and all of the colors of felt needed to recreate Molly. Then we went home and printed tons of fun stuff from the Nick Jr. website (typically used for birthday parties)...things like decorations, party hats, and cupcake toppers. We made "Guppies pizzas" served with Goldfish. We also made cupcakes together. We enjoyed all of this in our living room floor...our "picnic" area as Alice calls it, while watching our very own Bubble Guppies marathon (THANK YOU LORD FOR DVR!).
The following day, I set to work creating Alice's very own Molly t-shirt. I printed a large picture of her and used it as a template. Then I had to hand sew many of the parts together. Once she was together, I was able to use interfacing on both Molly and the shirt. After about 10 minutes of machine sewing, the shirt was done and Alice was ECSTATIC! She was the talk of the daycare that Monday!
Since she loved the Molly shirt so much, I decided to make her a second shirt by recycling an old onesie that my mom had gotten her and she had since grown out of. I cut the design out, gave it a felt backing with interfacing and simply sewed it onto a t-shirt. SO EASY! And once again, Alice was tickled!
My next Bubble Guppies project will probably be a comforter for her bed...maybe that will encourage her to sleep in her own room! Agh!
