When Caroline sets off on her journey to find Papa, she packs everything she'll need for the trip. Your girl can re-create the moment today with this set, including: Five faux gingerbread cakes and two pretend apples. A cloth napkin, special gift from Caroline to Papa—a map of Lake Ontario that hides a secret message! A woven basket to hold it all.
Caroline's travel basket is a very well-made little basket, sturdy and solid and could stand up to play (though maybe not "throw it in the toilet or on the floor then step on it play!) The two little apples are cute, with a sweet blush to them - they look like Pink Lady apples, instead of bright red "traditional" apples. The gingerbread cookies look like blah little round brown discs, I'd like to see either a piece of cheese added down the road, or at least a bit of accent paint on the cookies.
The real star of the show is the embroidered map included. I know some folks were wondering why the heck this should cost what it does. Behold:
The entire thing is embroidered, and could not be sweeter! You can actually read the stitched letters. I love it, and kind of want a second one to frame or put in a tiny embroidery hoop!
