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.

Haircuts, Onesies & Baby Kicks

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

Last night I decided to go with my inner Shear Genius vibe and cut my hair into a little bob. I’ve always been able to do this, just go for it, grab my scissors and cut. Like Tim Gunn- I make it work. OK enough Bravo references- my husband’s ears are probably ringing (he works at Bravo). But for reals, at this time of year I just needed the hair off my neck- besides I was just wearing it in a pony tail- so what really is the point?!
It is a little flapperish- which I adore.

Saturday I went crazy with creating new onesies, here are a few shots of our new merch for babes in the shop.



I just think the squawking bird is hysterical!

Last night, during my night time snack (which was a vanilla soy pudding by Cozy Shack- Yes, they make soy pudding!!!) I noticed a little butterfly feeling in my tummy. When I actually realized it was the baby moving! I lifted my shirt and actually saw my stomach moving! The baby was kicking- which felt more like a butterfly, which is just a sweet feeling. Zach was on his way home, so I called my mom at 11pm to tell her my news. It was pretty exciting and now I’m anticipating & waiting for more- come on baby!

We have new onesies
in our shop- check them out!
