The kids have been off school for Christmas break since last Friday. We have been busy getting ready for Christmas & have been doing lots of fun things! Here are two things that we have done:
Christmas lights ornaments:
We needed white bulbs, paint, and sharpies:
The kids all stuck their fingers into the paint and made finger prints on the bulbs in different colors all around the bulb.
After the paint was dry, I drew lines to connect them:
I think they turned out pretty cute!!
Another fun activity we did was making rice krispie treat trees.
We cheated and bought ready made treats, and cut them into triangles:
Then we added a Hershey kisses for the tree trunk.
Then the fun began! They frosted and decorated their trees!
They were very fun and easy to make, and the kids loved eating them afterwards!
This is Emma:
Emma is 11 months old.
This is Emma's ABC book, made out of her hand prints:
This took several days to make and it was easier when Lily was home to help me by taking the papers after I pressed Emma's hand down and to entertain her or give her more crackers in between. :0)
Hopefully Emma will enjoy this book as she gets older & forgets all of the torture I put her through to make it. ;0)
Today, we did St. Patrick's Day crafts! The first thing we made were hand print shamrocks. The kids painted their hands green:
Then pressed 4 prints onto the paper:
And added a stem. They all turned out cute! (Even Emma got to do crafts today!)
The second thing we made was a hand print rainbow with a pot of gold. Each of their fingers was a different color of the rainbow. (except purple, there are only five fingers & six colors!) Then they pressed their print onto paper....
and added a black pot and glitter for gold!
Here is Emma putting her glitter on.....what she really wanted to do was eat it. ;0)
Here are their rainbows:
Now we just have to wait for the leprechauns to come on St. Patrick's Day!
