The toys are upset
and they're muttering a lot,
summer is ending
but it's still very hot.
Everyone else has
a lot of time off,
but when they want a break -
these children just scoff.
They work so hard
and they do work cheap,
they don't get meals
and they hardly sleep.
If they don't get a vacation,
whatever the cost,
they're off on a strike
and the kids can get lost.

That's so cute. What a great idea.

How lucky they are to have such a creative and fun aunt. Lovely game and very cute poem. xx
How fun and cute!
A delightful poem and cute toy.
That looks like great fun:)
The egg cartons look amazing. They were always a premium as a child. Great for small toy environments and storing small pieces.
That is so beautiful!!! How did you make this?
I painted an egg carton, each cup a different color, and glued pom poms on top. We've been collecting these tiny dolls for a while and put them in the cups. Really simple.
Amalia! Você e muito criativa, gostei muito da sua ideia! Abraço
LOL Lovely poem ... and very creative art/craft work.
All the best Jan
Oh dear! I hope they get a long vacation soon now that summer is ending. I would have never thought of toys playing hide-and-seek in an egg carton.

Your whimsical poem made me smile. I also love that you're fostering your children's creativity. Visiting via Mosaic Monday.
How clever and so adorable! I love this Amalia.
Aw. So cute! 🤗
Such a cute toy!
I can imagine this keeping little ones occupied for hours. I know my little grandson would love it, I must start collecting little characters.
It is adorable!
How delightful! I thought I spotted Eeyore in the bottom right of the first photo.

How much do I love this egg carton with characters? A LOT! Your poem is perfect. xx
So imaginative. Lovely to see kids playing/creating rather than on screens.
Such a clever poem and adorable idea! The toys definitely deserve a break after all that hard work.
What a fun, colorful egg-carton landscape, dear Amalia! The toys certainly don't need to be upset about spending time in such a lovely setting! And HELLO—their job is PLAYING. Not many are lucky enough to have that.
All the best from Austria 🤗
