The Greatest Show On Earth! 🎪 What an adorable theme! The circus bear's outfit reminds me of a clown outfit! Lol I need a shirt like that! Our house is for sure a circus! 😆 🤣 Great idea to use velcro for the horse and little girl! Enjoyed your shoebox so much! Love your ribbon dancers! 🎀 💃 what a cute idea to put on a scrunchie and laminating the dolls ! Adorable coloring pages and stickers! Thanks for sharing 💖
Val, I really like the foam balls, but my heart leaped when you showed Jiminy Cricket. That was my mom’s favorite Disney character. I tried several times to get that Happy Meal toy to no avail. I sure hope this child enjoys them all. I also really like the decorated box to play with afterwards. You did great. 👍🏻
Cute box. My first child's room was decorated in a circus theme. It was adorable. I'm sure she'll enjoy the circus box.🤓such a great idea to use the box as a playset.
This box is fantastic! I was never a fan of the circus, as a child, but I love this box. There are so many treasures to keep this little girl happy for hours on end☺
This goes on my list as another favorite! Where to start. The bear and outfit are so cute and perfect for this theme. And how fun are the ribbon dancers. Excellent idea on giving her three balls. I bought those doll clothes too. And now I know to do the paper dolls as well! What an awesome idea!
Val, I love this box! Ms 2-4 is going to love playing at the circus! I love how you decorated her box so she can use it to play circus! Great idea! Her outfit, TY bear, figurines, etc…. are perfect for the theme! Thanks so much for sharing!💜💜💜 PS….I love the idea of using scrunches for “ribbon dancers”. I will definitely be box lifting that idea😊😊😊
I hope Miss 2-4 has as much fun as I did gathering and packing the box and playing with it myself 😂 think the scrunchie said work pretty well for making the “ribbon dancers” and I usually have a few on hand. Thanks for watching, Dawne and for your kind comments. 🥰 I love our shoebox community!
Hi Val, This is a real fun box for Miss 2-4. I love the outfit - so festive. The toy characters and play scene are a great idea. I love how you recycled the paper doll cut outs. The Little Train that Could is a great choice for this box. I may just do the same. 🚂
Oh yay! I haven’t been to the Circus in close to 30 years. Ringling brothers has nothing on you, girl. The shirt is fantastic! I see why you paid up for it. I did the same for a shoebox that will publish tomorrow. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do 😆. I’m in love with the bear. He definitely looks like a circus bear. He’s perfect! This little one is going to go nuts over all the little toys in her cup that she can play with in her circus box. Adorable! Lucky, lucky little girl!
Thanks, Trish! I haven’t been to a circus either in many years. I may have gone once when my girls were little but I definitely remember going when I was a kid. I grew up in a very small town and it was a big deal when the circus came to town. We even got out of school early to attend lol. I can’t wait to see your video! You know how much I love your outfits ❤️💚❤️
Those foam balls look like they'll be a lot of fun. Great way to modify the little toy horse. The mini beach ball is really cute. The way you decorated the inside of your box is really great. Lovely collab you two did!
Hi Val, I just watched Denise video of the Circus theme unboxing!! Such a fun theme and collaboration!! It so fun to see wat you both added to your boxes!! Wonderful and colorful box!! TFS and Crafty hugs ❤️🤗!!
I know I have had to told you this before and I hate to sound redundant but I I'm always so impressed at how much you fit in your shoe boxes! It's so wonderful. This was such a fun shoebox. I love the collab! Thank you so much for sharing 🥰
I love the idea of making ribbon dancers with hair scrunchies. I've been using the toy bracelets from Dollar Tree but I like your idea much better. I also saved the doll figures that the Lalaloopsie clothes came on to somehow use in a box. Now I know what to do with them. Thanks for the great ideas.
Yes! I had some sticker dolls that had different clothing/outfit stickers. They were a little small for those lalaloopsie paper dolls, but I made it work somehow. Maureen, I think you requested to follow me on a Instagram, but I overlooked your follow request and now I can’t find it again. If you request again, I promise I will confirm this time ☺️
Love this collab, Val! My favorites are the circus TY beanie baby bear, and Dumbo mini stuffy. Great idea adding mini Dumbo! The shirt is perfect. I like that you included 2 different packages of crayons - neon and regular. Great idea is add juggling balls! Very cool you added a lot of figurines in the cup for her to play with. Clever to add the beach ball. So awesome you included ribbon dancers just like Denise! Great minds think a like. I like that you used hair scrunchies for the ribbon dancers. LOL, also the same circus Dollar Tree stickers. Great coloring print outs. Love that you included the Little Engine book. I agree it's perfect because the circus characters riding the train. So wonderful you decorated the box as a circus. Colorful and fun shoebox. Great collab and theme! Thanks for sharing! Another favorite of yours! 🚂🐘
Thanks, Sharon! I was new to YT unboxings last year and I had never seen a collaboration until I saw the one you did with Diana Ruth. I have wanted to do one ever since then! I thought it seemed like a lot of fun 🤩 and it was fun!
Are you sure we didn’t talk about this ahead of time? Oh my goodness… we really do think alike! Girl 2 - 4…hairbrush…headband with bow…Dumbo… spoon…ribbon dancers…underwear in organza bag…stickers! This was sooo fun to see! I loved your box decoration so this little girl can play with her characters and pretend circus! That’s amazing!!! Loved her shirt and matching skirt. I can just see her now! My favorite is also the hand crocheted washcloth… what beautiful colors! You are so creative… the paper dolls turned out adorable! I will boxlift that idea! Loved the dancing bear beanie too.. just perfect! I still can’t believe we did this… no one will believe that we didn’t discuss the contents ahead of time! 😂🤣😂. I am still chuckling and smiling away! Love you friend! 💕
I know, right! I had two coloring books and I went with the one I like the least because I thought you might be packing that coloring and sticker book from DT. And I thought we might have the same stickers. Your Train and Circus set, though!! Oh my gosh, so cute. And the dress! When your circus gets to that little girl’s town, she will jump for joy! Love you too, friend 🥰
'Roll up for the greatest show(box) on earth!' Love how you made the box into a circus playset. Miss 2-4 will have lots of fun with all the mini figures. Cute outfit that perfectly matches the theme too.
“Barnum and Bailey” couldn’t have done it better! The TY Clown Bear is super adorable. Can’t keep my eyes off him. Clever idea….juggling balls! Will be box-lifting this one for sure! Love her little outfit and dancing ribbons. You were able to include so much into this box. Love the idea of the inter-active box. Another idea to box-lift! Congrats on a great fun box. 🎪 🤡 🎪🤡🎪🤡🎪🤡❤️❤️❤️
This is wonderful!! I love the collaboration! I’ve never been to a real circus but I think you did a great job capturing the FUN and colorful joy that a circus should bring. 🎪 I also happen to hate clowns 😅 but I didn’t have a clown themed nursery, so that’s it something you did with the decor 😅😅 I love how you used the Lalaloopsy die cuts as paper dolls. I thought about doing that too! And I love the book!! I totally see that as a circus type of train!
Such a fun idea to do a collaboration. I love it. Beautiful outfit so bright and colorful. The beanie is perfect. That wash cloth is beautiful I love the colors. Those foam balls are so cute. WOW those ribbon dancers are gorgeous. What a fantastic job with the pouch and coloring pages. Those Lalaloopsy paper dolls are a fantastic idea, you are so creative Val. Very cute activity box. Such a fun and fantastic box. Thank you for sharing.
This is such an awesome box! I love the bear, the neon crayons and the balls as well! you are so lucky to still have plastic toys in Mcdolands, in Israel they changed to paper :( I'm all for the enviomrent but cardboards are not toys XD if they want to use paper, just make a cool coloring book or something And yes, I am kinda scared of clowns XD non of those that are in your box scares me but I won't want to meet a clown in real life so much XD the scary clowns thing is mostly a US thing (and Israel, every US thing eventualy come to Israel XDD), so I won't stress about it in another country :)
Little paper coloring books would be great too, but I sure would miss all the Disney toys and kid movie character toys in Happy Meals 😉 Thanks so much for watching and for your kind comments ❤️
