I was looking for a quick project for the girls to do on a boring morning. I told them to go pick their favorite book and they could re-write/re-illustrate it in their own way. Abby picked one of those Pigeon Books by Mo Willems. Funny thing is Abby’s frustration came out through her book. She […]
Now this project has even cooler results if you buy little craft squeeze bottles or even empty ketchup/mustard type bottles so you can squeeze the puffy paint out of them. I am just trying to use up everything in my house and not buy anything new–so we did it with different types of paintbrushes. Still […]
I used to do “official” art day groups where I would have a schedule, message the Moms, try to invite new people. Now I just text a couple of kid’s Moms about an hour before we start and ask them if they would like to come on over. Either way is fun, this is just […]
We do these “date nights with the girls” a few times a year, usually they are most excited if it is their turn to go with Dad. Because Dad usually takes them out somewhere fun and then the other one stays home with me. But this time I decided it was *MY* time to go […]
This is such a simple idea that has been on my to do list for awhile. I love art projects where you don’t have to buy anything special, everyone has saran wrap! Supplies: Brushes Saran Wrap Tempura Paint OR Watercolor Paint (in this post I use tempura paint) Instructions: 1. Have the kids paint their […]
I told the girl’s for an art project to color the CRAZIEST things they could think of: This is what they came up with: A zombie driving the float in the sky, baby Shae throwing oranges at everyone, random zebras hanging off chandeliers, horses tap dancing, a party with confetti and blue birds eating popcorn. […]
We did it again this year (dying easter eggs with spices, vegetables, juices, etc.) but we turned it into a science experiment and switched up the directions a bit. This is what we did all day, I ignored everything else, poor poor house is a disaster. First we had to bug our chickens for all […]
How fast are you going through yours? I am loving this weather! Feels so good to spend the days outside. I thought I would “re-run” two posts of mine for you in celebration. Homemade Sidewalk Chalk AND France’s Version of Hopscotch—Escargot (Snail), enjoy! Homemade Sidewalk Chalk April 29th, 2010 in Crafts | Edit So this is something I would NOT do […]
You guys, it is hard to find a cute Valentines Day felt board story out there. I looked forever to find one to use at Abby’s kintergarden party. Finally I found one and made felt pieces to go along with it: Here is the story that goes along with it: The Valentine Tree I know […]
Abby has been a doll lately — so well-behaved, helpful, patient and caring. I just have felt so lucky to have her as my oldest the past few weeks. So I secretly made her this poster. It reads: Hey BABY (RUTH), thank you for being my LIFESAVER. Seriously, you are a SKOR and I’d give […]
