Super Capes

Hi all! I wanted to share our super capes with you all. I saw these on Pinterest but my friend Jessie over at Play Create Explore made some adorable ones as well. I made mine a bit different especially around the neck. You see, my kids like to pull on the back of each others shirts and sometimes choke each other. So I cut the neck and used Velcro to hold them closed. Much safer for my kids





















I went to a secondhand shop and tried to find as many t-shirts that have a logo that seemed Super Powerish lol Amazingly I found 6 pretty cool ones. Some are doubles but that's o.k.



















The kids adore the capes and it only took a few minutes to cut them out of large men's t-shirts. Thanks for looking and please see my sidebar for all the great blogs I link up to:)

No Mess Finger Painting

again another great idea from Pinterest! Pinned From Here I'm not sure I could like without it now that I have become addicted to it lol. Anyway the pics are pretty self explanatory. Put some paint into a zip lock bag, take all air out of bag and seal shut, put paper on table and place bag on top and tape it all down to the table. Let your child explore the bags, mixing the colors, drawing shapes, letters, numbers etc.































So simple
















drawing hearts with our fingers. Reminds me of some Montessori work, sand drawing.





so much fun!

Valentine Prints

Good old Pinterest has the best ideas! idea pinned from here Our Celery expired before I got to use it which was a total bummer but I just cut the old parts off and was left with this cool design. So no wasted money after all.

Another Pinterest idea. Just a toilet paper tube bent and taped in place to shape a heart

Valentine Lunch

Jada caught me looking at bento lunches on Pinterest and automatically wanted me to make her one. I'm no expert and have only messed around with making bento lunches so I did my best.

strawberry jam and cream cheese rollups sandwiches, grapes, yogurt with strawberries and sprinkles, and jelly beans, smarties and hot lips.

Valentine Muffins

I made the kids some chocolate peanut butter chip oatmeal muffins in the shape of hearts
Easy icing: sprinkle some red candy sprinkles into each heart well and then add your batter. Once cooked and cooled off pop out each muffin. Turn upside down and you will have pre-iced muffins.

I ran out of sprinkles with the last batch and I made them a bit bigger. Thanks for looking and I love reading your comments. Please see my sidebar for all the great blogs I link up to:)

February Play Dough and Sensory Bin

We took a LONG break from play dough and boy have we all missed it. Absence makes the heart grow fonder

Valentines themed cookie cutters. I actually put in cherry jello into our favorite play dough recipe found on my right sidebar:) smells delicious! no worries no one has tried to eat it as of yet.

Valentines Sensory bin has red and pink fake petals, a few green petals for contrast and two heart containers, and some heart gems hidden among all those petals, oh and some white pompoms.

Valentine bird love

Valentines bird feeders

First I cut out the hearts from cardboard and hole punched a hole on the top. Then threaded it with a pretty red and white twine

Next Jada used a bread knife to spread on some peanut butter.

Then spooned on some bird seed. We waited for the peanut butter to dry

Once dry we hung them in the trees for our bird friends

We just hope our food driven beagle will stay away from them long enough for the birds to eat some seeds.
