Bath Mosaic

 

 

Super fast and simple - cut pieces of craft foam into basic shapes - they stick to most smooth surfaces when wet. If you really want to get fancy cut out the parts and pieces to build monsters or make a game of Tic Tac Toe - http://spoonful.com/crafts/tic-tac-tub

 

 



Magic Site Words

It's been a while since I last posted, it's not that we haven't been doing projects, but that we now have a kindergartner in the house. I think the transition into school is harder on the parents than the kids. All the meetings, site words, and field trips. I figure the only way I can post is if I keep it fast and simple.

Magically appearing site words!

I don't want site words to be a chore, and there is only so much site word bingo one little girl can play before she figures out it's really home work. Since A enjoys art so much, lately I've been trying to use more art inspired activities. White crayon and some water colors make identifying site words a lot more fun. So easy and fast!

How do you  keep site words from being a chore?

Rainbow Bug Art Party

I haven't posted in a while - a combination of beautiful spring weekends too nice to spend at the computer and preparing for A's 5th birthday. For the last 4 years Miss A has celebrated her birthday with a bug party, but there are only so many variations you can do on a theme, so this year I chose the theme - Rainbow Art Party, Miss A managed to convince me to add the bug in at the last minute. Hey what can you do - the girl really likes bugs.

Rainbow Ribbon Garland

Rainbow Birthday Banner

It's hard to capture this one in a picture since is stretch at least 10', but trust me it's cute.

I'll put up instructions later this week.

Rainbow Tutus

More on these later.

Rainbow Punch Box

(You can get the instructions from Pink and Green Mama)

Rainbow Fruit Kabobs

Rainbow Cereal Necklaces.

I also found this idea on Pink and Green Mama - they were so cute I had add them to the party table even though it was last minute. The kids absolutely loved them.

Rainbow Cupcakes

Whew, that's enough for now and we haven't even gotten to the art yet - I'll put our Rainbow Bug Art in a separate post.
