I found some colorful mini-frisbees on the Easter isle. There are 8 in a package for $1.50. They are too large to make good frisbees for the girls, but when you flip them over, they are just the right size for little plastic pic-nic plates.We have been pic-nicing all day. (Sorry, I tend to be a little too thrifty sometimes..)

What is EAster Isle?
Also your food is really cute, did you make that or find it somewhere? I'm looking for more food items for my kitchen.

I am sorry, the Easter isle at Walmart, with the little toys and stuff for Easter baskets.
Thanks, the food is just homemade Sculpy food.

American Mommy you so inspire me. I love the picture and am going to look for the "picnic plates" when I'm at Walmart. I love the food you've done. I wish I had 1/4 of your creativity. I am going to try it myself. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
How cute! Dolls love spring picnics. [img]biggrin.gif[/img] [img]biggrin.gif[/img] [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
Your food is great!!! Can you post a little bigger pics so I can copy the great ideas!?
Thanks.
Savannahsmom- Thank you for your kind words.You have really made my day.It is not so much creativity as trying to find inexpensive ways to have dolly fun [img]wink.gif[/img]
Mae and I have a lot of fun feeding our dolls.My hubby says pretty soon all of our girls will outgrow all of their clothes, eating at this rate. [img]wink.gif[/img]
Great idea, Anna.
I love the colors for summertime play for the girls. Your food looks so realistic. Such talent.

You have inspiered us. My DD loves to play tea party with her dolls, and when she saw this cannot wait to to to WalMart and Michaels to buy the "ingredients" for our own picnic. Thanks for sharing! I love your food ideas.
Aw shucks....No place to go Easter Isle shopping around here. Still waiting for my Sculpey order. I've been trying to "figure" a scale size for various items. ie: If doll = 18" and actual nine year old = 4.5'(?) then scale everything by /3. 4" cookie = aprox. 1.25"?
Is this how you figure your sizes? I'm very curious as to what dimensions you would use for a two layer round cake. Do you scale from AG foods? We don't have anything but dolls and clothes. Hoping to make some party treats in the near future. I appreciate any additional info you have. I loved your previous food posts and am really getting in the mood to "bake". Thanks ~Bugs
What is Sculpy food? Is it like PlayDoh? It sounds fun!! Do tell!!! I'm with Rusty, Anna. Marisol better lay off the fritos in our house or her tankini is going to pop off!! [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
Sculpy for FIMO is two brands of clay that can be baked and they turn hard, almost like resin. You can easily mold it, then bake it, then keep it!
Yes, it is just an oven bake clay that is available in many colors.You can find it at most craft and hobby stores. It is easy to mold, and nice and sturdy once it has been baked.
As far as scale goes- I have no idea! I am all over the place with my scale.It is laughable! My kids still giggle about the GIANT BACON mishap.
I try to base the scale off of a combination of the only real lunch I have, which is Kit's lunch, and what looks okay next to a doll's hand.The "real" lunches seem a bit small to me, but even so, that is the size I usually go with.
It is really a fun way to play with your dolls. I always enjoy making stuff for my dolls and kids. This play food is for both. [img]smile.gif[/img]
I am not great at it, it is just pretty easy to do. Anybody with just a little time on their hands can do a lot better than me. Now, we do have a couple of ladies on here I consider to be FIMO Artist.I am just a hobbyist, but I sure have a lot of fun!
I have added more photos to my album: http://www.imagestation.com/album/pi...8600728&idx=26
Here is a photo to show the scale next to Kit's lunch.Kit's lunch box and the food that came with her lunchbox is circled. On the tablecloth fabric, three squares = 1".

AG foods are typically on a scale of 3:1.

Oops, I mean 1:3

I found the picnic plates at Walmart last night. I bought 2 packages as we are going to have an AG party for my daughter and her friends. I think we may have just found the craft project I was looking for, for them to do. Now they can make something for their dolls to eat and have plates to take them home on. I loved the rest of your photos American Mommy. We'll be baking today. Thanks again for sharing your ideas.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Thank you. I know the dolls are 1:3, but the offical AG food seems smaller than that to me. Kit's lunch and waffels seem so small. If I was not looking at the AG food for size reference, I would probably make my food about twice as big as I do.I think it might look better if it was a little bigger.Quote:

I am so blown away by your talents. This is the cutest stuff I have ever seen. I was in WM last night and found the frisbees and I saw the sculpy in the fabric area. I do not have that kind of patience but I have younger friends that would love to do this, and I'm going to share if thats okay with you? [img]graemlins/rose.gif[/img]
