Creative, Crafty Fun: Day Two

Of course, our theme of the day was obviously St. Patrick's Day so Kyle's Creative, Crafty Fun centered around the "green holiday"! Kyle decorated a shamrock with St. Patrick's Day themed stickers including green and yellow shamrocks, leprechaun's, and hats! I attempted over and over again to snap a picture with Kyle holding his shamrock "piece of art", but it just wasn't going to happen, so I eventually gave up! Stay tuned on Wednesday for Day Three's "masterpiece"!

Creative, Crafty Fun: Day One

Since Kyle is on Spring Break this week, each day we will have some "Creative, Crafty Fun"! Today, we made a foam fire engine. Kyle enjoyed his craft, but he seemed to have more fun playing with the glue and wasn't very patient letting the glue dry. In the end it does look like a fire engine...so mission....complete! Stay tuned on Tuesday for Day Two!

Kyle is making sure the ladder is put securely on the truck. Kyle really doesn't want the wheel to fall off the fire truck.

I wanted to take the picture with Kyle holding the fire truck toward the camera,

but he wanted it facing him so he could examine his work.

Creative, Crafty Fun!

Today, was the first official day of Kyle's Spring Break...he is preschool free for ten whole days! Since, we will have a little extra time on our hands next week I thought it would be fun for Kyle and me to have some "Creative, Crafty Fun!". Yesterday, I headed over to Hobby Lobby and picked up some toddler friendly craft items to be used next week. Each day next week Kyle will transform the items pictured below into beautiful toddler "works of art". Be on the look out next week for pictures of his daily accomplishments.

Christmas Crafts

As I've mentioned in the past, I LOVE craft fairs. We have been to several the past few weekends and have found really adorable Christmas decorations. We really enjoy decorating our house for Christmas and craft fairs are a great place to find really unique decorations. I'm getting anxious to put our decorations up, but still need to wait a little bit longer. We usually wait until the weekend after Thanksgiving, but if we have a nice weather day before then we may decorate a little early this year...at least on the outside. I will definitely be posting pictures once everything is in place.

I did want to share a few of our "Christmas Crafts" we have recently found at the craft fairs. Enjoy!

Nutcrackers are one of my favorites...I fell in love with this display A monogrammd candy cane welcome pole
