My crafty sweet Daughter

My Sweet almost 11 year old has been creating crafts for her little sisters to do this week!

 I of course wanted to share her creativity with you!! 

 

Here are some pics of the crafts she did with them!

 

 She had them add felt, yarn, googly eyes, sequence, and pompoms to make these!

(Little Bitty had some help writing her name)

These cute cats are painted with felt noses and ears, yarn for the mouth, bristles for the whiskers and of course googly eyes!

 Decorating crowns is always a favorite for little girls!

Paper snowcone cups with tissue paper glued on are the dresses.

 She had them make pop stick puppets with tissue paper, drawn faces and the same sparkly sticky foam board I used for the Hello Kitty Birthday for the crowns!

 

I think she did an excellent job and in a little over a year will be the best babysitter in town!



4th of July hair bands and bows!!

 

These are really simple and fun to make!!

 

I found this fun, sparkly, tubing at Michaels.

 

 

I bought some plastic hairbands.

 

I just slid the hair band into the tube.

 

Once you get all the way around hot glue the ends.

 

Let it cool for a couple seconds and then squeeze it!

 

I cut some felt.

 

And glued it over the ends so that they wouldn't be scratchy on the little ears.

 

You could even glue felt all the way around if you have a sensitive one.

 

 

 

 

How to make the bow...

 

then tie a knot around the middle...

 

You can hot glue this to the hair band...

 

or glue it on a clip!

 

Happy 4th of July!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Heading out west! YeeHaw!

 

 

This is something we did a few months back with some friends!

 

We have been reading the Little House books and used the Prairie Primer book this year for fun ideas to go along with them!

 

One of the suggestions is to measure out an area and have it be your covered wagon...

 

I flipped our dinning room table upside down and turned it into a covered wagon!!

The kids had a blast packing the wagon and pretending they were heading out west!

Of course we had corn bread and beans to eat too!
