    The family garden is adorable. On another blog- can’t remember which one :( – anyways, I saw a plant with photos on sticks in it that looked adorable, too.

    Out of all the crafts on here, of course my pre-schooler would go beserk over the fly swatter painting! How in the world do you keep that in check?? :-)

      If you notice we were outside ;) Also using craft paper will help because it’s thick so even if they swat hard with lots of paint it shouldn’t rip. If you are worried about going off paper I would set a few ground rules, and make a border with tape – explain that they can only swat in the tape, or the swatter goes away. Also you can try giving him numbers – like swat it 5 times, get more paint, then swat it 3 times… keep going . It will keep him more focused if you are worried about it unleashing his destructive side.

      Overall I think you will be surprised by how focused he’ll be… I hope.

  • These are adorable!

    And what a lovely model in that necklace! :)

    I added that in to remind myself of how I used to look ;)

  • Love these!
    I love the ring – I am going to make my kids make a couple for me – o maybe a set – with a necklace :)

  • As always fantastic ideas. I am going to forward this post to my hubby. Any of these would be fabulous ideas for a gift for me. :) I think we’ll work on one for Grandma too!
