Fruit cards & Bookmarks

       {Toddler Fruit Flash Cards} -Laminate sheets -Paper -Paint -marker -Scissors So inspired by my toddler, and our ABC funky flashcards we made a while back. I decided to make Fruit flash cards! Fun way to learn about a few different fruits. Now since I had some left over laminate sheets, I decided to make some laminated bookmarks. {Laminated Bookmarks} {These would be great as a gift for someone who loves books} 

Diy simple Card packaging

Simple DIY card packaging Materials need: Paper bag Scissors Washi tape Stamps/ink This project is so simple. Start with cutting a paper bag in half. Both sides will have an opening. After doing this fold the bottom half of the paper bag. Once this is done apply your washi tape to the folded end. Now just apply your stamp. I used my flower stamp. It's really that simple. You can also add ribbon, fresh cut flowers to your packaging, or even some painted flowers. Once you are finished you can insert your card. All done! Enjoy!

DIY Spring sewing pin cushion with storage

{DIY SPRING PIN CUSHION} Materials needed: An empty candle jar with a lid Hot glue gun ribbon the fabric of your choice Optional decorative flower Scissors poly-fil Start off by cutting your fabric to place onto your lid. I took a marker and traced a circle a little bigger than the lid Using my poly-fil I glued it onto the lid.  After I  took my fabric and covered the poly-fil and started gluing my fabric to the underside of my lid. I usually have bad luck when doing this and it seems as though the lid won't close completely But I used a thinner fabric and the top actually grips the jar, so it worked out. Your lid should be able to fit securely onto your jar. I then took my hot glue and applied my ribbon around the bottom of my cushion. This is optional, but if you would like, add a flower to add just a little extra cuteness to your  pin cushion. Enjoy!

Learning colors, friendly monsters..and water painting

We had such a busy and fun morning. We have been working on shapes, numbers and colors. Today we did an activity on colors. Using a paper plate, construction paper cut them into squares, and glue them onto the paper plate. I did the same for the clothespins. I made sure to write out each color above each square on the plate. My daughter loved it. We have done something similar to this but with shapes.  Onto our friendly monsters... A few months back we came across this cute book called, "So many monsters". We picked this cute book up at Target in the dollar section. It's about friendly monsters. Monsters who enjoy tea, and those who dress nice :) Our daughter loves when we  read this book to her. She really  likes when daddy changes his voice, and does a silly monster voice. :) With this book we made some popsicle stick monsters. We also enjoyed some water painting. Using food coloring and water. I taped up some ea

The Very Hungry Caterpillar activity

Our daughter loves the book "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle. We did a little interactive learning activity to go along with this book. This activity allowed my daughter to engage and interact with the book as we read through it. As you read through the book with your little one, your child can go through and pick out each item you read out loud. My daughter loved the caterpillar we created, and she even had him eating through each item of food. She made the munching sound and all. She's two and just loves exploring books. We worked on naming each picture, colors, and counting. She's getting so good at saying the days of the week. That's something else we worked on while doing this activity too. I just used construction paper, hole puncher, crayons, laminate, and scissors. Create and then have fun with your little one. :) Each day of our lives we make deposits in the memory banks of our children. -Charles R. Swindol

Hello May~

        Of course we needed one more snow day here in Colorado. :) My daughter was so thrilled to see more snow. As for me I'm ready for some Spring weather. (to actually stay for a while) I must say though, even though it was cold and snowy we stilled enjoyed this lovely day.   Tutu, bracelet, ring and necklace- she was all ready! A little fun with dress up.     One of my favorite things to do with my sweet little one is snuggle and read together. She absolutely loves books! Today we spent a lot of our time reading books.     We did a fun activity with the book "The very hungry Caterpillar"-by Eric Carle. A very interactive, fun, learning activity. I'll be sure to post about that in another post. Today has been wonderful, and I hope the same goes for all of you!
