So, last week, the weather was pretty crummy and when the weather gets crummy, this mama gets crafty! Before I forget, Happy Birthday to my gorgeous mama and role model, Dori Garza! She makes 50something look GOOD!
While searching the web, I came across a couple of cute craft ideas that I thought I would share.
First, “A Very Hungry {and Colorful} Caterpillar”
Supplies Needed:
- Paper
- Paint
- Precious Hands
How To Create Your Very Hungry Caterpillar:
- Strip your kid to a diaper or undies
- If you still have a high chair, I would recommend strappin’ that little body in to avoid some mess. If not, prepare yourself for some paint drippage.
- I grabbed Caroline’s hands and painted them for her to make sure they were even. If you have an older kiddo, you can let them slap their hand into the paint.
- Then I placed them on the white computer paper. Again, with an older kiddo they can do the hand-on-paper placement, too.
- Let the cute caterpillar dry!
- Give the kiddo a blank piece of paper and give them some FREE REIGN!
Supplies Needed:
- Yellow paint
- Green paint
- Paintbrushes
- Scissors
- Glue
- Black beads
- Paper
- Green construction paper
- Precious hands
How To Create Your Sunflower:
- Same first two instructions as above 🙂
- Paint your child’s palm yellow and either stamp it for them or have them stamp it 4 times in a circle at the top of your paper
- Paint a green stem
- Cut 2 leaves out of your green construction paper and glue them to the stem
- When the yellow paint is dry, put some glue in the middle of the sunflower in a circular shape and sprinkle with black beads
- Allow to dry
We made a sunflower for the birthday girl and here’s the finished product…not too shabby!
Enjoy!
