Sint Maarten/ St. Martin's Day

I am ready for Sint Maarten!

Well what is that, you may ask:

It is a typicalDutch childrens holiday

and not even everywhere in the Netherlands.

This is what wikipedia says:

St. Martin's Day.

It is a little bit like Halloween,

only kds don't dress up.

They come by your house and they sing 

a song and after this you give them a treat.

On Saturday my dd and I started

to make the treat boxes together.

Punching and

 

cutting was the beginning.

 and a lot of folding and glueing.

I got the idea for these boxes here:

I just changes the size of the box to a 

little bigger one to fit the candy.

The pictures that are on the boxes

are color pages i found of figures with

lanterns. I resized them to make them fit here.

Now I have everything ready for the kids to come 

this evening when it starts getting dark.

Wonder if I will hav enough...you never know!

It was a wonderful evening.

Lots of children came by and 

not one of my treat boxes are left!

Have a creative day!
