I know that summer is coming to an end, but I just had to review some of our favorite crafts that we did last summer. We had a lot of fun doing a beach theme and here are 2 of the crafts that Hailey made:

A fun seahorse

And this cute hermit crab.

We are looking forward to a fall trip to Disney World and everyday Hailey asks me, “Do we have 2 more days?”  It’s hard to explain how long a couple more months will be, so we made a count down today.

I started the countdown at 50- I made 50 Mickey Mouse shaped heads and numbered them.  Hailey and I glued them onto cardboard and then she added some Disney stickers to the countdown.

I put contact paper over the countdown (we’ll reuse it every time we go).  Mickey Mouse (over on the left) will be moved each day.  At the end of the countdown is the castle since that’s where we’ll be!

A simple Father’s Day idea:

Hailey painted a picture frame with acrylic paint.  Then we picked something that he likes to do and set Hailey up doing one of Rich’s favorite activities- golfing.  I took her picture and we put it in the frame.  Then we used foam letters to write “Daddy’s Girl” on the frame.

Or you can just pick a favorite picture and write whatever you want on the frame.  So, simple and so cute!

Hailey glued some sequence onto the Letter L template.

For Hailey’s alphabet book she made a Ladybug.  She cut out a big red circle for the body, added some spots, a head, eyes and antenna.  Then she added some green paint for grass.

Ll is for Ladybug.
