Last night's craft was so easy, cheap but F-U-N :)

It's easy to make my kids happy as long as I use my imagination...that reminds me of Spongebob on a

episode where he keeps saying "Imagination" LOL Me and my Sponge Fever LOL I just love him.

Now back to the craft ;)

Last night the kids learned that Egg Carton is not garbage, is a special material that if you use your

 "imagination" it can become a Bug or a Cute Monster, or anything...


First Ariana got her scissors and cut it up the egg carton...



We just used two pieces, one for her and one for Anthony. It was late (hey Summer vacation).



This is how they look with eyes....




Decorate, decorate and...

Please say Hi to Mr. and Mrs. Bug :)




This is so simple and fast, but you'll get lots of smiles and laughs from your kids :)


Right now Ariana and Anthony are doing some more... We had a big egg carton :)

Here is a Link where you can get some more ideas.

Thanks for reading.

Last night's Craft with my kids

July 18, 2011

"GoPlaySleep", my beautiful daughter named our craft of today.


I did not plan this one, but I love it!


It all started when I saw one of Ariana's doll sitting in the kitchen looking really sad :(




This is how it went...


Me: "Ariana,why is your doll so sad?"


Ariana: "Awww I know, she was watching TV with me and saw a baby all happy playing on a

playpen."


Me:"So....???"


Ariana:"Mommy! So she started to cry because she doesn't have one, she said she is tired of sitting

around on hard floor or table."


Me: "hum mm...Hey!Look at that! A box! We can make one!"


Ariana:"Yes we can!"

The PlayGoSleep is a car seat, playpen and can also be a bed (that's our  next project,blankets and

pillow).

The materials are so simple and easy.


First you go to your pantry and grab a box of Maruchan Ramen (I know you got some).



Now don't eat it all in  one day (my kids would, they love it, not me).


Take all out.


Using a hole punch make two holes for the handle. I used ribbon, but you and your little Princess can

 use whatever you like :)


And now all you need is some materials and imagination to decorate your GoPlaySleep.


This is Our GoPlaySleep...So sorry for the poor pictures...long story...

On one side Ariana did a beautiful coloring, I love it!






Inside is also learning time with big pictures of animals on 4 sides.




Go!Take anywhere you Go!




And if you are busy on the phone talking to your girlfriend about the book you are reading it's OK,

your baby will be very happy next to you because she is chilling on  her "GoPlaySleep" :)



That's it.


You can see this project and many more right at Skip to my Lou Blog

I had so much fun making this with Ariana, I hope you all have a great crafty week!

HERE , came to me with it and we did it together because we used hot glue.
She sew all around ...it took her a while because I told her to try to do her best :)
