What fun for all ,‘Sinterklaas’ is back.For most people in the world an on none figure but for the Dutch and Belgium kids it means a lot of fun and excitement!!Times of presents,chocolate milk, poems ,fun and joy.And do my kids don’t believe in ‘Sinterklaas’ anymore it still is a very special time of the  year.We’ve  unpacked the ‘Sinterklaas’ box with all the things to give the living room a ‘Sinterklaas’ make-over!

And of course the ‘Sinterklaas’books.The first one is an old story but a new book, the second you could call brocante because it’s an old one it’s falling apart as well!

I’ve copied some pictures from a book on transfer paper  and then made these ‘Sinterklaas’cones.There’s a little white bag in it for some candy and some tulle fabric for fun completed  it with a stamped label and a nice ribbon.
