Arts, Crafts, and Fun Things to Do and Make with your children

Toss any magazine older Work them out. The problem with bad weather is that children don’t get enough exercise. Play “freeze dance” stopping in position when the music goes off. Pile up pillows and encourage the kids to gallop over them on hobbyhorses. Get out the tutus and do a dance show. The storm has hit and you are stuck indoors with small lightening fast children. Kids are bouncing off the walls. You’re just about to go bananas. You take a look, but the pieces to Candyland are missing. Maybe a boardgame can save you?
 
Grab some couch cushions or an large box and drape a sheet over them. Put toys and kitchenware for the kids to play with underneath. They can make a walkway to the structure with blocks. Set it up and hand out the invitations to all of the stuffed friends. It could be your dog or cats birthday, or your child’s favorite stuffed animals birthday. Decorate white paper plates for party invitations by coloring them and personalizing them. Bake up some cookies or have a popcornfest. Stretch out the preparation. Throw a ten minute party. Fill plastic bottles with whatever is on the shelf to make potions. Toothpaste, ketchup, food coloring - the yuckier the better. Add baking soda and vinegar and watch your concoction fizz. Clean out the magazine rack and have your kids clip pictures and paste them on paper. Suggest a theme, such as animals. Toss any magazine older than your toddler. Work them out.

Apple Tree on a Hand me Down jacket

Filed under: Children's Activities,crafts — admin @ 3:29 am

I received this jacket from my SIL. Not sure which of neices or nephew wore it- but I think I shaped it into my own little piece, so our baby can proudly wear it. I have to say it was in very good shape, I just wanted to put a little spin on it. I also embroidered a very simple uppercase “H”. After seeing that Zach realized the name I had chosen. Now we’re working on middles.

Yesterday I spent all day,cutting,ironing,pining and sewing little squares. I don’t think my quilt will be traditional, but I am happy with all of the blocks/squares I’ve created.

Last night our phone went kerplunk and there was no going back. Walmart being the closest, we trudged there to get a new one. I

n the midst of traveling around the store, I noticed a huge line in their fabrics dept. It seems they are either making room for fall/holiday inventory or they are liquidating all fabrics to use the space for something else. Either way everything is 75% off. I grabbed 2 rolls of flannel in lavender and sage for the blanket backing, the washcloths, bibs,changing mats I wanna start making. But the line was so long and of course one person was working who at the moment was walking away saying her scanner wasn’t working and there were 6 people ahead of me who all had at least 5 bolts each. So I put the flannel down and vowed to go back first thing today.

I’ll let you know how that goes! Have a great Friday & Happy Weekend
