I'm always looking for fun ways to make gifts for teachers or family members. Last year we made these handmade sunflowers for Michael's teachers during Teacher's Appreciation week. You could make these for pretty much anything and is such a great keepsake. Here's how I made the flowers (look for a post about how to make the vases soon).
Since it's supposed to be Spring, even though the weather doesn't seem to feel like it, the birds should be starting to show back up. We actually had some birds that were hanging around the neighborhood back in January and decided to make them some feeders so they'd be able to survive. Here's how we made them.
With the season finally changing to Fall and the leaves slowly falling from the trees, how about making this simple piece of art with your kids.
Within the past year, Michael had gone from playing with Mega Blocs to regular LEGOs. Since he's grown to love LEGOs, Jon and I decided that we would make him a LEGO table. The thing is, we didn't want it to be a permanent LEGO table. Here's how we did just that.
I've always been about decorating the house for the different holidays, but Thanksgiving is one of the holidays I don't have a lot of decorations for. Last year we made turkey decorations for the family and I wanted to try and make something different. I've been wanting to do hand and feet prints with Michael for the past few years, but he has hated getting paint on his hands. This year he was excited to get paint on his hands and feet (thank you preschool)!
A Water Balloon Fight Alternative
I found this on Pinterest a year or two ago and finally got around to buying the supplies to make them.
