What is it about girls and princesses? Is it all of those beautiful dresses? Or, the wonderful castles, and the birds that land on their fingers and sing just for them?
Maybe it's all the love and attention they get?
I suspect it's a little bit of everything; but I think it goes deeper than a
superficial desire to be fussy and frilly; it is the ingrained desire to be loved and cherished. It's a hunger that we have for GOD, King of the universe. He is the only One Who can meet all of our needs, and treat us like the princesses we were created to be.
The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: "I have loved you with an everlasting love;
I have drawn you with loving-kindness.
Jer. 31:3
My Selah has totally tapped into her princess gene. She loves all things
princessy!
Here's the movie that started it all. Cinderella is her very favorite.
I picked up a set of Princess cookie cutters, which I use all the time. She has had princess
french toast, pancakes, and modeling chocolate. I recently pressed
out sandwiches for her tea party dolly luncheon.
Dolled up
She love to get her toes all pretty!
Her Princess Creations
I have a permanent set of Selah lip prints preserved in lipstick on her froggy craft.
Selah really loved putting together this 3D foam castle that we found at Michaels craft store.
I'm posting this because it kept her busy for an hour and a half! The pieces fit together like a puzzle, and was easy enough for her to do independently, which made her feel very proud! But *be aware, Mama! You will need to assist in the assembly of the minarets. And since the kit doesn't come with glue, you will need to have some handy. Also, if you don't feel like standing there holding the cone shapes in place while the glue dries, you might want use a few rubber bands or laundry clips to help hold the shape.
Basically, my kiddo is up for anything crafty. Here's a little birdhouse castle for princesses
of the feathered variety.
This is a wonderful book for the little princesses in your life.
I love books that encourage character development, the core of true beauty.
