Easter Art & Crafts Project for Baby

So the other day I realized I have never really done an arts and craft project with my baby! Considering I love my arts and crafts I was slightly disappointed with myself. Granted she is only 7.5 months old but still.

So I went to Pinterest for some ideas and found this one! I thought this looked pretty simple and really cute!

Here is how my attempt came out!

This was super simple to do!

Supplies needed: Picture of child's face, Crayola Washable paint, poster board, Elmers glue and sponge paint brush.

Directions:

1.) Paint your childs foot with paint and stamp on poster board. This took me a few tries since my daughter only like to stand on her tippy toes. Make sure to do one foot at a time and have those wipes ready to clean after. The last thing you need is paint all over your floors. Also paint a little extra of the poster board so you can use it to cut out the ears and bow.

2.) I drew the bunny freehand. But I am sure you can find a bunny template online. Make sure that the bunny you draw and the picture are relative in size so it looks like a bunny head. Then cut out.

3.) Once paint is dry cut around the feet, cut strips for ears and cut out a bow.

4.) Glue face on bunny and pink strips on ears.

5.) Apply glue and cotton balls to the bunny template. I started in the middle and then moved in a circle outwards.

6.) Glue bunny feet and bow onto the bunny. Make sure to use lots of glue so it stays on.

Voila! Pinterest Win!!

What type of Easter Arts and Crafts do you do with your kids?

Cheers!

Five on Friday - Valentines Day Inspiration for Kids

Yes, I know Valentines day is over 3 weeks away but these days my boss (lil A) is keeping me quite busy. So I need to start prepping in advance for the holiday! Here are 5 of my favorite Valentines inspirations. 

1. Yoda Best Valentine

Again, I know a few of A's older friends that would thinks this is the best, not to mention this might be what she makes her Daddy! source

2. I "Wheelie" like you!

For A's Boyfriends! How adorable! I really don't want to give candy to kids so a lil matchbox car is perfect.  source

3. Your "Purrrfect" to me

For A's Girlfriends! Not to mention I have so much leftover craft paper from her birth announcements that I can reuse. All I need to do is buy some googlie eyes! source

4. Monogramed Heart Napkins

Did I tell you that I got a monograming machine from Santa? I am still practicing but this looks like the perfect opportunity to test it out and make monogramed heart napkins. source But then again I will have to price it out, it might be easier to buy them at PB. But then again that wouldn't be any fun! Haha!

5. TuTu skirt

I made something similar for A for Christmas. Thinking I can repurpose what I made and add some valentines day tulle. I will do a blog post on how to make the tutu skirts later (SO SIMPLE!!). We also already have the heart sunglasses which I picked up at Target before she was born!

So as you can see I will be busy for the next few weeks working on my projects! Today after the gym I will be hitting up Michael's! WOO HOO!!!

Hope y'all have a great weekend!

Happing Pinning!

Try New Things Tuesday - Arts & Crafts!

So today I woke up and realized I didn't have any projects to work on. I mean we always have cleaning and housekeeping, but that isn't any fun. So I have been exploring Pinterest for some new arts and crafts ideas to work on. What are your favorites?

I thought these would be cute for someone who has a toddler! A way to make fancy refrigerator letters, but with stainless refrigerators not sure how many people still use magnets! Basically all you need is magnet letters, spray paint and some painters tape to cover the magnet while painting.

For the backyard I thought this could be a cute hostess gift! I love the way they used the antique chalk paint to give the ring toss game more charm. I love how they added sparkles to the rings. Not sure how long they would last but definitely gives it some flair!

And last but not least I am running out of my Bliss Super Minty Soap & Scrub, and considering all the beauty purchases I made last week I need to be good and not buy a new one since they are pricey. However, definitely curious to try out this recipe for homemade bath salts. I would use peppermint essential oil to mimic the smell of my Bliss Minty Scrub. Considering this is just for me I will eliminate the gel coloring! If these work out well they could be cute stocking stuffers for the holidays!

I would love to hear your thoughts on if you have made any of these, or any tips if you have done anything similar!

Happy Pinning!
