Repurposed Bubble Wrap: Valentine Craft

Turn old bubble wrap into cute Valentines. 

Simply trace and cut out hearts to make a stamp. 

Rub the stamp in some washable paint and press it on paper bubble side down.

Livi liked to mix her colors then place her stamp in the paint.

Voilà!

Emily used her stamp and added flourishes with fingerpaint.

Crafty Cuties

Handwriting made easy

Olivia likes to practice writing her name, her sisters' names and other words. To make it quick and easy, I write the word with a highlighter and she traces it.

O-l-i-v-i-a

Olivia draws herself to celebrate.

Birds & Branches Faux "TOMs"

I made myself a pair of Faux TOMs with a stencil & paint pen so it only took 10 minutes.

Hands on Painting

The girls received a bunch of crafty stuff from Nana at Christmas. We've spent the last 2 days playing with paint and brushes. Since they had so much fun, we're going to try to paint at least once a week. We need to create a gallery wall for all their creations.

Don't worry it's washable.

Annie's first painting

Annie had fun getting messy and we were impressed that she didn't try to eat any paint.

Emily has lots of ideas and loves to paint.

Livi is so patient and selective with her paint.

Livi spent 2 days on her handprint pony. 

She wanted to make a momma and baby bird.

Lexi sketched and painted this horse in less than an hour.

Mummy Candy Holder

With four girls who have discriminating taste for fine candies, we made mummy candy holders to keep their favorites out of the community candy bowl.

First, we gathered our supplies. We had all this junk around the house. 
Plastic cups, Mod Podge, paintbrush, scissors, medical gauze, 
green Play-Doh, googly eyes, and girlie trimmings.

Next, they painted on the Mod Podge and wrapped their cups.
After it dried, they pressed on green Play-Doh and added googly eyes,
gauze and teeth to make a face. Finally, they added cute bows.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
