I suspect it was done over a couple of days - I always rather do projects whilst the enthusiasm is there rather than force a completion in one go. That said I'm sure the stickers were all done in one go - the girls LOVE using stickers! Hi Rachel, I did this some time ago now and can’t quite remember.

I don't think my 5yo (and certainly not my 2yo) would have the focus or energy to do all of this on the same day. A question – did you do this project all at once?

Have you seen Maisy Takes a Bath and then Tallulah comes over and gets in the bath with her? LOL! The kids I used to nanny for adored Maisy and she kinda grew on me. I like Maisy Makes Lemonade... we made a lemon tree from that book by cutting a big tree from construction paper and taping it to the wall. We cut and laminated little paper lemons and then velcroed them in different spots to the tree. We hung it up by their play kitchen and then they pretended to pick lemons from the lemon tree and make lemonade. We also went for a walk to pick some lemons and make real lemonade. haha I always thought Maisy was so strange.
