Created this fun spot in the yard for the little people. Although, truth be told, the adults will have just as much fun. Fun is the key ingredient. Everything else is just extraneous.
Menu: burgers and fries. Out came the little colanders in vibrant colors. Insert parchment paper and individual ketchup, salt and pepper.
Add a few votives in decorative glass containers. Even little people need to feel special.
Kitchen crystal
Colorful arrangement of flowers in a silver container
Large kitchen towels used as napkins placed under the white plates - fun.
Don't forget to light the candles.
Condiments in a divided tray
Fries in the colander and burger on the plate!
Hope you enjoyed your brief visit with the little people. We sure are glad you came along for the fun!

ReplyDeleteWay too cute, and I love the "kitchen crystal"! I'm sure the kids had fun:@)
ReplyDeleteI know this is supposed to be fun and for KIDS but I would love to sit down at that table myself. I love the colorful colanders for the fries. That is REALLY cute and an idea worth stealing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun table you have set. Love all the elements.
ReplyDeleteHow clever -- now this is one "kids" table that the adults will want to steal.

ReplyDeleteMarlis, what a cute idea using the mini colanders for serving the fries. I love all the unique ideas gleaned from TT bloggers, some I wouldn't have dreamed in a million years. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMarlis, I'm not even a kid, and I would like to be at your table. Who would have thought of using colanders to serve! I just may have to copy that idea. L
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute and fun! I was wanting those colanders from TJM this summer but couldn''t justify owning 4 of the same size colander! I love this idea.
ReplyDeleteDrats...I should have gone to TJ Maxx this summer...those colanders are darling! That's a great tip about the butcher paper table covering. Everything looks like so much fun. Thank you for sharing your charmingd design. Cherry Kay

ReplyDeleteThis table is SO cute....and FUN!!! Those teensy little ketchup bottles are just the bees knees!!! I love it! Glad to see the little people getting their fair share of "glam" on the table! Thank you for stopping by my site earlier. I appreciate it very much! I'll "see" you around! :-)
ReplyDeleteCollanders and crayons make for adult fun too~ Love those fun collanders for serving fries!
ReplyDeleteThat is absolutely the most creative and fun thing I have seen for big or little people! Too cute! My kids would LOVE that. Love the colanders too! THanks for stopping by! I think the snow idea is great, and I will have to try that at Christmas!
ReplyDeleteSo cute, Marlis. I love the bright colanders...what a great idea to use them lined with parchment paper as bowls. Thanks for the great tip on spraying down the edges of the paper to make it drape better. I will remember that.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute and fun table!

What a cute ideal!! Talk about using your imagination! A great ideal for the grandkids when they visit. Thanks so much for visiting and your kind comments. I have been trying to be a little more sensitive to the times and the people around me by using what I have. In doing so I am finding that it is quiet satisfying. It's so easy to run out and and buy all the goodies and ideals waiting in the stores, but I must say I am enjoying using my brain and coming up with my own ideals. I hope you visit again soon.

Those little mini colanders are sooo cute! I would never have thought to use them as containers at each place setting. So clever. Great table. laurie
ReplyDeleteWhat adorable little colanders! I love this fun table for young folks -- although older ones would love it, too -- even the crayons!
