I love, love your doll. I meant to tell you, and I apologize if you already found this book, but while I was at the library this past week I found a book called, “Fairy Tale Feasts” by Jane Yolen and Heidi Stemple. There are some unusual fairy tales and each one is paired with some various kid friendly recipes. I thought of you when I saw it! Thanks for linking up to AfterSchool and I hope to see you back tomorrow.Little Wonders' Dayshttp://www.littlewondersdays.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2059561141951442196.post-41604936207074218502012-02-06T16:48:39.347-08:002012-02-06T16:48:39.347-08:00Brenna~ Some of the original Grimm's are fine ...Brenna~ Some of the original Grimm's are fine for young kids and some aren't. The best age for a child to be told a more frightening Grimm tale would really vary based on the child, and their personality, some of them I would even wait on until the child is a teen, and can study it from an adult viewpoint. When my kids were younger, I would read the tale first, and make a few appropriate changes when needed. There are a lot of versions that are very close to the original but changed just enough to be great for kids. <br /><br />Thanks for the question :) <br /><br />Eddie~ Thanks for stopping by, your castle craft and Princess and the Pea activity sound fun, I am really looking forward to crafting Princess and the Pea. :)April's Homemakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03839044050318217592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2059561141951442196.post-75925973503815806412012-02-06T16:28:44.190-08:002012-02-06T16:28:44.190-08:00Oh, I love this idea!

I tend to look at it as a moral lesson about not not boasting (as the miller did to the King), Not being greedy (the king and the miller) and not taking advantage of someone in an awful situation as Rumpelstiltskin did to the Miller's daughter. It is frustrating that the Miller and the King didn't have some consequence. <br /><br />Interesting discussion point for sure. :) I will be sharing The Three Spinners next month, a fairly similar plot, but a different outcome, that I tend to like a bit more. Thanks for your comment.<br /><br />Hope everyone had a nice Sunday, we had another beautiful sunshiny day!April's Homemakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03839044050318217592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2059561141951442196.post-78748063617685438402012-02-05T19:47:57.361-08:002012-02-05T19:47:57.361-08:00This story has always left me confused.

I started writing down ideas, and decided it would make a really fun blog project for the year. :)<br /><br />Carrie~ Thank you! I had a lot of fun making this little guy, and setting his scene.
