At the park

The weather has been kind of blah this week so when the sun came out today we just had to get outside. We went for a walk through the park, visited with the ducks, played on the swings, collected leaves and came across some puddles that were just waiting to be explored.

 

DIY valentine stamps

These heart shaped stamps are quick and simple to make.  All you need are lids from juice or water bottles. The wider the lid the easier it is for little hands to use. Next you'll need foam hearts. I bought mine from the dollar store. It came with an assortment of 3 different sizes of hearts so you could do a variety of stamps. I glued two hearts onto each lid. Let them dry and then they are ready to use. You can stamp with ink or paint. We used ink. 

 

E's Birthday

E was real excited about his birthday this year.  

In the Snow

  This winter the weather has been so all over the place. One day it snows and then the next day it rains. Sometimes it snows blizzard like snow covering everything and by lunch it rains and all the snows gone again. L is in love with the snow this year and has been real excited everytime there's new snow to play in.

Snowy day art

Simple art that you can add your own creativity to. E liked stamping circles all over his paper and L turned her circles into snowmen which she later drew faces on and added arms and belly buttons:) We used paper towel rolls cut in half (you can use tolit paper rolls too) dipped in white paint mixed with white glitter to give it a snowy effect.
