Father’s Day Craft – Silly Bookmarks
Happy Father’s Day to all the great fathers out there!
This little craft really made us giggle, so we thought we’d share:
1. Take a picture of your child/children hold their arms up (or in another funny position).
2. Print the images off and cut closely around your child.
3. Laminate, or use clear contact paper, to protect the image and leave space to punch a hole.
4. Punch hole and attach a tassel – either made or bought from craft store.
5. Place inside a good book and wrap it up for June 17th!
Dad is sure to smile every time this little momento shows up in a well-read paperback. He’ll remember this Father’s Day for years
They will bring back fond memories for years to come!
New Year’s Resolutions w/ AmyP
New Year’s Resolutions w/ AmyP
Most everyone have a few resolutions for the New Year.
But, normally, we plan them for just ourselves.
But have you ever had a New Year’s resolution for your family?
After researching them and talking with my family, we have decided to plan a few for our family.
Here are a few that I have found to get you started…
– Get Outside More – unplug from life and be adventureous. Step outside and soak up nature.
– Be a Gracious Family – a grateful family = a happy family
– Record Life – live life but also take photos, capture those memories and share those memories.
– Read Together – I love this one and stole this one. Is there a better bonding time?
– Schedule a weekly game night – speaking of bonding, this is a great way to be silly together and have fun.
– Eat and make healthier food together – healthy families are happier families
Wishing you all a Happy New Year!

December craft w/ AmyP
December is here!
December is a great month for crafts! My month is filled with crafts and baking with my children. I love crafts but my favorite crafts are the ones that I can reflect back on… this has to be one of my favorites:)
Handprint Holidays
You can paint this on anything but I have this on a plate and will you directions for a plate.
You will need the following for this craft:
– acrylic paint
– brushes
– baby wipes
– a glass platter or plate
We used brown paint for our reindeers and green for our trees. So their hands were reindeers who are tangled up in Christmas lights and a little ones foot is perfect for a Christmas tree.
You can definitely change it up. I have seen angels painted using feet and trees made with hands. I just thought this idea was cute.
*remember, if you do not like your design – you can simply wipe it off using water and start again.
Once you finished your ceramic plate – set the paint by baking the plate in the oven at 300° Fahrenheit for 30 minutes. I suggest leaving your plate in the oven, turning it off and allowing the oven to cook down and then removing the plate.
I look at back at this plate and remember when they were this little. Best handmade craft ever. These are also really great gift for family members.
November Crafts w/ Amy P
November Crafts w/ Amy P
Now that November is here – Leaves are changing, the weather has finally cooled off and Thanksgiving is around the corner.
Thanksgiving is one of my most favorite holidays.
Gathering with family around the table and a huge feast.
We want to help make your holidays fun for the kids.
Here are some easy Thanksgiving crafts and tips….
- Kids table – often times, the kids sit at their very own table. Why not put down some butcher paper and give them some crayons.
- Or while at the table, they can create some festive crafts like
– A pinecone ‘I’m thankful for….” turkey – this may require help from a parent to help your child with their thankful things. But I love hearing what my children are thankful for.
– Fun headbands for each child – you can make an Native American headband or a Pilgrim headband. Super easy – you just need construction paper and glue or a stapler.
– Fingerprint Turkey – for those brave parents who want to get paint out, these are great! You can start a tradition and do these every year, and see how much your little ones have grown. Or you can give these out as a gift to your guests.
