Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss

My daughter and Dr. Seuss share a birthday so we get to celebrate doubly! (:

March 2nd -- we made these:
Green Eggs & Ham!

Sharing Some Fun Projects

I wanted to share these projects with you- maybe you can store the idea away until next holiday season! ☺ Some fun things we did w/ the kids class over the holidays- we made these foam magnet frames and the kids had fun embellishing them and framing their own artwork! Made great gifts too!
Cute Reindeer Cookies:

And here's a great idea from our local bakery (and SO yummy too!)

Kid's Project Idea

My 4yo daughter loves anything crafty and this was a fun project for her-- I let her use some day-old cold coffee (tea works too!) to "dye" her coloring papers and notebook paper! She didn't soak it too long so it was a light yellow-brown shade but she had fun trying different techniques like tearing the paper and crumpling it up and folding it to see the variations.Happy Crafting!
