Toddler Craft- Sheep Hands!

I do so many little crafts with my son, I thought I would start sharing them on my blog! So here's a new segment on my blog, Toddler Craft.

This is probably one of the easiest crafts we have done, and probably one of Jydan's favourites. I had all these wonderful ideas when he was younger and have learnt that the simplest crafts with minimal steps are usually the winners!

All you'll need is cotton balls, glue, a pen, card and scissors!

It's this easy:

• Get some card. This is the sheeps body, so whatever colour you would like the sheep.
• Trace around hand.
• Cut out traced hand.
• Rub glue on the palm of the hand.
• Stick on cotton balls to the palm.

Send me a photo of your sheep on my Facebook Page.

Make Your Own Easter Baskets.

 

First of, HAPPY GOOD FRIDAY!!

This year I decided to make my own Easter baskets for everyone and put their Easter chocolates in! I haven't finished them all (Still have two more to make) but here is the ones I've done so far!

 

I used formula tins...

 

Wrapped them with pretty paper...

 

 

And decorated them to suit whoever they were going to.

 

 

Filled them with deliciousness & cuteness.

 

 

 

 

And here they are! Handmade Easter baskets they were actually really easy!!

 

 

Crafts For Babies Under One!

Every Sunday we have a craft day! We started just before 8 months and have had such a super fun time!  It can be hard to find an easy, quick craft that little bubbas can do, ESPECIALLY if they have a short attention span.. but you're never too young for craft time! So I thought I would share some of our fabulous crafts and how to do them!

-Pasta Necklaces.
To die the pasta we put a handful of pasta in a zip lock bag, a tablespoon of vinegar and a couple of drops of food die. We got Jydan to shake the zip lock baggy and die the pasta! Some we had to double bag so he didn't get food die all over him - he can be rough ;).
After putting the pasta on some newspaper up high to dry for a couple of hours we put all the pasta in front of Jydan and got him to pick out the pasta's for mum to thread on the necklaces. Jydan probably had the most fun playing with the pasta!

-Finger Paint and Painters Tape.
I'm going to do this again soon, I want to do the painters tape neater. But I wrote his name with painters tape and then got Jydan to finger paint all on the paper. When it was dry, I took the painters tape off and this was the result. Super cute!

-Vegetable Paint.
Babies put EVERYTHING in their mouth so why not make paint they can actually eat?
Boil carrot for orange.
Beets or cranberries for red.
Lemon peels for yellow.
Blueberries for blue... ect ect
Boil them up really, really, really well and put them into containers.. yey!

-Paint Cookie Cutter Stamps.
With your favourite paint get your cookie cutters out and dip them in the paint.. Mummy needs to help with this one, but if you use the vegetable paint, it really doesn't matter. Teach bub how to stamp!

-Ice Cube Water Colours.
This was really fun! Pop some food die into ice cubes and freeze. After frozen, put them into a zip lock bag with some paper and get baby to shake it away. When you take the paper out of the zip back it's a water colour painting! I passed this onto a friend and she put some fabric in and then framed the fabric! So cute.
This is really good for those that have short attention spans. Was over and done with within about 5 minutes :).

BUSY BAG IDEAS!

WHAT IS A BUSY BAG?

You get a group of creative fun people together,

Make enough of  the exactly the same creative activities.
Everyone does a set of activities each.

Then you swap bags around!

... so you end up with all different bags of creative activities.

Here's an example of what you might end up with:

 Looks fun huh!!
