Valentine’s Day cupcake toppers
(Made Jan 7, 2012) I was looking for an easy craft Nico could do with glitter for Valentine’s Day, since he loves muffins so much, I came up with easy to make toppers. While I got the material, he decided to pour out the heart confetti and put them back into little containers. All I needed for this one was two sizes of self-sticking hearts (one is felt, one is foam in my case, it doesn’t matter … Read entire article »

A bunch of blogging moms decided to have their kids exchange Valentines (see Valentines Day swap) and it turns out this was Nico’s firsts Valentines he got.

Quick Lady Bug Café sign
This was our quick sign for our quickly improvised Lady Bug Café for Valentines Day dinner. I didn’t have a big poster board and couldn’t go buy one as Nico was sleeping. So I took 4 pink cardstocks and taped them together. Then I penciled the letters for the name, free handed. Don’t press to hard or it’ll be hard to erase, but I erased just enough to not have it show through the paint and … Read entire article »

Heart coffee filter zipper pull
As part of our Valentines Day snail mail swap, I wanted Nico to make something for the kids to use. He enjoys coloring on coffee filters, so I thought suncatcher… nah not “useful” enough. Ok what else could we do using those laminated coffee filters…well they do become waterproof. Kids like things hanging off their zippers. Zipper pulls! So I had him do a few red coffee filters. I figured we’d get a really nice red going … Read entire article »

Suncatcher rainbow hearts
This early afternoon Nico was getting restless, it had been raining (more like pouring) all morning, so I figured ok quick craft, suncatchers! So I got the coffee filters and the Rainbow Art Kit again and I got deserted! When getting the stuff upstairs in the “craft room”, he saw the bin of cloud dough and refused to come down without it. So I set him up on his little table (about a meter from me) … Read entire article »

So we waited for Monday to do this. One of our missions was “Write a real letter or card (on paper, email does not count) to someone just to say hello and share something positive.” And as I realized, I know … Read entire article »
