xmas ornaments.

today for crafts we did snowmen and reindeer ornaments :)

A has snowmen with hats.

S has snowmen with scarves.

and then S did a reindeer one -- (aidan's fell and shattered lol we'll make her another one this weekend, im sure)



i cant decide if i want to tackle this with reese or not! haha

1. paint their hands.
2. put the ornament in their hands and have them "hold" the ornament (hobby lobby has cheap empty ornaments right now)
3. add detail -- i want to get glitter for the next set to put inside :)

handprint craft.

today we went to the park (pics from that later) and then came home to do a fun craft!

i figured since it is the start to a new school year, id do a "keepsake" craft. and kids love paint so... ;)

the only thing not pictured or listed is FABRIC GLUE! :) thats how everything is secured.



easy peasy:

paint hands, stamp them onto the canvas.

paint the wood letters - let dry.

measure out fun ribbon, attach with fabric glue.

add buttons to corners.

secure the letter on.

let all dry :)

and dont forget to date it on the back!!

we may add to these later, but we'll see - live and learn and get more creative next time! but for now, i love them!

catching up again.

gah. i feel like this week has been busy, but i cant think of much that i did. LOL
