Have the kids hand paint him a banner! Grab your smocks, roll of paper and finger paint and get to work on a World's Greatest Daddy banner to welcome him to breakfast tomorrow morning! Kids love finger painting and their dad so putting two and two together seemed like a no brainer. The setup was also super simple as we already had all our favorite art supplies on hand. I grabbed a marker and wrote out "World's Greatest Daddy" with a mix of script and block print. Honestly, if you watched my Instagram stories yesterday you saw that my first thought was that this was going to be a disaster. I gave each girl a bowl of paint, a paintbrush and put on their smocks and thought they'd get paint everywhere. I mean, they haven't done too much stand up free form painting yet so I wasn't sure what to expect. Plus toddlers with a bowl of paint ready to flip or spill was the ... Continue Reading...

Today I'm sharing another cute Valentine design my girls and I did using painted footprints and handprints! Download my bugs and kisses free printable to create your own! Brielle is in daycare 3 days a week and Hailey is in 2. It makes those Mondays and Fridays when they're both home a perfect time to squeeze in a craft project. I designed a quick Love Bugs and Kisses printable and tried out another handprint/footprint craft with them. Supplies: Fingerpaint Foam Brush and paper plate Love Bugs and Kisses printable (Note: I designed 2 different sheets. Page 1 has 4 to a page and the other has 2 to a page, depending on their hand/foot size!) Crayons First we set up our tripod and wireless remote shutter and started with Hailey's adorable little feet. If you can't tell she was NOT in the mood to craft this time around, mostly since it was creeping up on naptime. ... Continue Reading...

To learn more about my affiliates, please review my disclosure policy here. This was a craft done LAST December that I completely forgot to share here! This is a simple handmade element kids can do for their teachers to wrap up any gift, big or little you are gifting them. Teachers already have their fair share of mugs, candles and soap so I decided to get something most women want: a gift card to Target! A gift card for any amount is a welcomed gift I'm sure, but not substantial in physical size. I paired ours with some cute journals found in Target's dollar spot and one personalized notepad from Tiny Prints for Miss Valeri, Brielle's head teacher. To dress these up, Brielle got involved in a fun craft activity - making wrapping paper by painting with corks! The concept was simple - give her 2 plates with paint, 2 corks and a sheet of paper and let her create as she wanted. (Ya gotta love that tongue sticking out while creating!) Did we care about mixing colors on the plate or paper? NOPE, we did not! Did we start making music with ... Continue Reading...
