10 numa cama / 10 in the bed

A minha filha adora este livro! Recebeu-o quando tinha 2 anos, dos avós, e nessa altura, durante dois meses foi a história que ela queria que lesse todas as noites antes de dormir. Depois disso, é um livro que ela revisita sempre com muito agrado.
O livro é, de facto, muito divertido, as ilustrações são magníficas e consegue-se explorá-lo de diversas formas (como já devem ter reparado, não é só a miúda que se diverte com ele! ).

My daughter loves this book! She received it, when she was 2, from her grandparents, and then, for two months, it was the story she wanted to read every night before bed. After that, it’s a book that we read always with great pleasure.
The book is in fact a lot of fun, the illustrations are magnificent and it’s possible to exploit it in different ways (as you have noticed isn’t only the little girl who has fun with it!).

Ora, este foi um dos livros seleccionados pela pequena Papgena para o calendário de advento de livros e foi desembrulhado uma semana e meia antes do Natal. E quando estava a lê-lo, subitamente lembrei-me que seria muito fixe conseguir transportar o conjunto cama, bonecos, cobertores e almofadas do papel para as 3 dimensões.
Nasceu assim, a ideia para o presente de Natal da pequena Papgena (o único presente artesanal que este ano fiz) e apraz-me dizer que foi um sucesso!!!

Now, this was one of the books selected by little Papgena for our book’s advent calendar and it was unwrapped one week before Christmas. And when I was reading it, I suddenly remembered that it would be really cool to be able to transport the bed, dolls, blankets and pads from paper to 3 dimensions.
And so little Papgena’s Christmas gift, the only handmade Christmas’ gift that I made this year, was born. And I can say with great pleasure that the gift was greatly appreciated!!!!


livro e bonecos

Não tenho um tutorial para os fantoches de dedo (foram feitos á noite, às escondidas) mas posso dizer-vos que para as figuras bases usei este link (como neste post). Para a personalização de cada boneco utilizei como inspiração as imagens do livro e as imagens deste link para o ouriço, deste para a ovelha e deste para o crocodilo. Utilizei feltro para os fantoches e bordei os pormenores dos rostos/focinhos.
Mas se tiverem alguma dúvida, estou cá para ajudar!

I don’t have a tutorial for the finger puppets (they were made ​​at night, in secret) but I can tell you that for the basic shapes I used this link (as in this post). For customization of each doll, I inspired myself in the pictures of the book and the ones on these links: the hedgehog, the sheep and the crocodile. I use felt and I embroidery the face’s details.
If you have any doubts please feel free to ask!

Começamos com o rapazinho /So we start with the little boy:

No próximo post mostro como fiz a cama!
Next post I’ll show how I make the bed!

PS1 – Dados do livro: ‘Dez numa cama’ – titulo original: ‘ Ten in the bed’ – autor: Penny Dale – Edições ASA – ISBN: 972-41-1109-1

PS2 – obrigada por todos os votos pelo nascimento do pequeno Panda. Estamos óptimos, eu a recuperar e ele a tratar de crescer!
A única coisa que o pode preocupar é conseguir ‘aturar’ tanto mimo e beijos da mana mais velha e dos papás! / Thanks for all the votes for the birth of the little Panda. We are great, I’m recovering and he is growing!
The only thing that may worry him is to 'put up' so much kisses and hugs from the older sister and parents!

  1. Oh, this is an amazing project! There was an identical project going on in the blogosphere, about crafting something from favorite books. I think you've done a fantastic job and that reading the book is a totally new and exciting experience!

  3. What a great idea, I love this. It can be done with any children's book. This is a very cool gift for a little one. They'll love the book even more.

    It's so nice to be back to Blogland, after I've been gone for so long. You were gone a while too, I'm glad you're back.

    You are actually right about it being harder to take care of parents, I just didn't want to upset any of my brothers and sisters so I kept it very minimal. But the truth is, yes it's extremely hard because we are having to deal with things like alzheimer's and diabetes, along with other things.

    1. Yes, I think it can be done with any book, and it's also a lot of fun come up with the puppets to the 3 dimension! ;)
      My pregnancie was so stressful that in the first 6 months I was allways really down!
      Depression doesn't do good for inspiration! or productivity or comunication either! :P
      Fortunatly, little panda is a really healthy and perfect little baby so, I will get my good mood again! :)
      I'm so sorry for your parents' health problems, they are really distressful especially alzheimer's!!
