Fourth of July Star Wand

We made these simple star wands today:

Here is all you will need: Popsicle stick, glue, red, white and blue star shaped construction paper, red and blue ribbon

Glue the white star onto the red star.

Then put the blue star on top of the white.

Glue the stars to a popsicle stick and tie the ribbon around the stick.

Our finished star wands- easy and cute.

Father’s Day Handprint Craft

I saw this cute idea on Pinterest for Father’s Day, and decided that Hailey and Hunter would make this for Rich this year.

First Hailey and Hunter both painted a piece of card stock using water colors.

Then I did their handprints using acrylic paint… it’s a pain to wash off their hands but it just works better than tempra paint.

Then around their hand prints I wrote, “Thank you for always being there to hold my hand.”

Then we glued them onto their water colored card stock:

Super cute 🙂

Father’s Day Interview

A couple of years ago Hailey did a Father’s Day Interview for my dad on Father’s Day.  My dad mentioned that he would like to have another one to see what her new answers would be.  So, we used the same questions and did an interview again.  When she did this 2 years ago I just typed up all the answers.  Now that she is old enough to write, she wrote out her answers, which I think adds to the cuteness.

Our interview questions say:

I really love it when my Pa…
My Pa likes to wear…
My Pa always…
The best thing he does is…
It makes him happy when…
My Pa likes to relax by…
I like when he…
What is your favorite thing about Pa?
What does Pa like to eat?
What does Pa like to do in his free time?
My Pa’s favorite thing to watch on TV is…
If he could go on a trip he would go to…
What do you do at Pa’s house that you can’t do anywhere else?
I love my Pa because…
What does Pa do to show you that he loves you?

I had her write her answers (in pencil, so we could fix mistakes without any frustration) and draw her pictures on a piece of regular paper.  When she was done I copied it onto card stock so that it won’t fade or smear over time.  Then she picked out a piece of scrapbook paper and glued her interview questions onto the scrapbook paper.

Volcano Eruption

We have been learning about dinosaurs, which sparked an interest in volcanos, so we have had some fun doing some things with volcanos.  We made this fun craft:

Spread some yellow, orange and red paint onto a volcano shaped paper.

Cover it with saran wrap, and then let your child spread the paint around.

No mess 🙂

Glue a mountain onto a piece of construction paper.

Add your volcano
