Add doll bedding to the bed. To make the nightstand, sit your doll up in the bed.  Mark where your doll can reach it. Cut off the excess tube. Cut a two inch square of recycled cardboard. Tape it to the tube.

Now it is time to make the food. Use recycled cardboard for a tray. Bend the sides up. Cut Heart shapes out of cardboard to make heart pancakes. Use A lid to an ipod shuffle container as a plate, or use card stock. To make Berries, mix red and blue pompoms. Use white pompoms as whipped cream. Serve in a food sample cup.  To butter the pancakes, use little squares of computer paper colored yellow.
