Hi Shruti – Can you tell me where do you get the foam cutouts and pipe cleaners from. If you know where to buy it in Hyderabad that will be great. Thanks.

Hi Shurti,
I am not a very artsy-craftsy person Shruti and so I admire moms like you who take time out to do all this crafty :p stuff. You website too is very aesthetically designed. 🙂
The yummy tummy feature immediately caught my attention as I too blog about baby and kiddie food recipes. I have guest recipes on my blog too but they’re from my friends/colleagues/relatives (non-blogging moms).
This Vermicelli Upma looks so appealing for the kids. I love how Priya presents her food and this one’s no exception. 🙂
Regards,
Mukta
