Kiddy Christmas Fun

Here's some great idea to do with your little ones this year. (As I find more I will update this post, so keep checking it)

Reindeer Pinecones

Noodle Christmas Tree

Personalized Counting Book

I am going to do this. Simple and educational. Just snap some whots of things your kids play with, things you have around the house, or outside things, label them for you specific number and order them to have a personalized counting book.

Halloween Party Invites and Game Ideas

Here you can find cute ways to invite and then play with your party guests. Here's some of my favorites.
Bat Ribbon Invite

Mummy Invite

Mummy Bowling

Books with Felt Foods

I love anytime you can add an activity to a book. These are two favorites that I love the little aactivity you can add to them.

Cupcake Bar

This is my new favorite thing I am going to do for my next party. What an ingenious idea. Everyone loves cupcakes. This way you don't have to do all the work yourself and everyone get to have some fun making their own!

Magnetic Paper Dolls

i have a sons so this would have to take a bit of a different shape, but I love the idea. I would probably make policemen, firemen, constructions workers, clowns....
It is so simple and I love the case they've make to put it in. It is a very quiet activity, compact and great for church, doctor apts, meetings...any place you need the kids quiet and busy.
Check it out here.

Caterpillar Craft

I saw this idea on a blog and I loved it. It was a fun craft to do with my boys. You just cut an egg carton up, paint it, slit holes for straw or pipe cleaner antenea, glue on some eyes and pom-poms. The hardest part about it was waiting for it to dry so they could play with it! :)

I think we are going to make a snake too. I will probably do some glitter diamonds on it and a felt tongue. I will update this post when we make it so check back.

Brown Paper Bag Pinata

So this is a great way to make a pinata, get the kids invovled, and have some fun together. They turn out cute and you can pick your own tissue paper. I'll have to keep this is mind for my next little party!

How to Tie-Dye

I love tie dye. I think it is so fun. Here's a tutorial on how to do it. I did it once when I was little, but forgot all the steps, etc. check it out.

Wooden Spool Dolls

These are soooooo cute. I want to make some of these. It would be fun to start building your own "town people", family, etc. I little something personal for the kids. I look back and always LOVE the things that my mom had made. I want to get back to that. I think we've kind of lost that in our generation!

Ocean Finger Puppets

I LOVE puppets. These are so cute and easy. You could take this idea and go SOOOOOO far with it. Felt is a great medium to work with.

Felt Monster

He is just soooo cute! Check out the how to here.

Family Puzzle

My son is getting more and more into doing puzzles, I should reword that....my son is getting more and more into watching ME do the puzzles. So I thought this would be a fun puzzle to make for him to do.
Here are the steps in picture form. For directions visit here.

GREAT Baby Shower Party Gift

I thought this was such a great and fun thing to do at a baby shower. The result is so cute and original.
You have each guest pick a letter (or 2 or 3), draw a picture that starts with that letter, and then sign it. You put it all together and get the cutest ABC book ever!

Lemonade Stand

I don't know this person, but from the style of the homes in the background she has to live in my neighborhood somewhere. I absolutely LOVE this lemonade stand. I will have to remember something like this for my boys when they get a little older. It is so clever, cute, and fun.

Personal U.S. Flag

What a cute way to get your kids involved, make a keepsake, and decorate for one of my favorite holidays. This is one to remember.

Wodden Spoon Animals

This is a great way to recycle your old wooden spoons. I think these are very creative and very boy, which I love. Have fun creating your ouw animals...horses, hippos, snakes...the list is endless.
