Turkey Craft

Here is our Thanksgiving handprint/footprint turkey. Emmett had a lot of fun making it this time!

Halloween Crafts

On my day off, I really wanted to have fun with the kids. So we baked, crafted, and played all day. Here are the handprint crafts we did that day:

Birthday Card

It was my grandma's 85th birthday on Sunday, and I wanted to make her something special from E. Thanks to pinterest, I found some cute hand and footprint ideas that fit things he does with Maw Maw. She loved it!

I used washi tape to connect the pages, and it just folds like an accordian!

Valentine's Day Cards

One of my goals for this year is to use the craft supplies that I have. I've had a box of blank cards in the closet for about 6 years now, and I've never had motivation to use them. Then I saw a cute idea for valentines on pinterest, and I remembered these cute pink striped cards with the white strip, ready to go and perfect for this project because it would hide the picture underneath the white strip. I used all supplies that I already had except the photos! Woohoo! I made 15 cards in all for daddy, cousins, grandparents, and great-grandparents. So cute.

The hardest part of this project was getting E to give me his hand to trace. For some reason he decided it was fun to run away every time I tried. The cutting wasn't a problem - I'm a teacher. I'm used to cutting things out in bulk!

Can't wait to get these in the mail!

Art time - summer handprints

I saw this on pinterest and knew I had to do it after our beach vacation. Those shells are from our sunrise walk on the beach at Hilton Head! E is getting MUCH better about letting me do handprints!
