Toddler Time Thursday - Spider Craft

We've been working on getting out all of the Halloween and Fall decorations today, so for craft time I decided to break out the paint and let Molly make some decorations.

We made these simple handprint spiders. I just used a sponge to rub black paint on her hand and four of her fingers, then helped her make two overlapping hand prints. After it dried, we glued these huge googly eyes on. :) Quick, easy, and fun!

Tip Tuesday!

How to make a Princess Wand:

This weeks tip I found at Zakka Life. They have a great tutorial on how to make a Princess Wand. As soon as I saw this project, I knew it would be perfect for my daughter who loves playing dress up and pretending. I think this project turns out adorable, and is fun to make. I think I'm still going to tie some cute ribbon to it in the morning.

I can't wait for Molly to try it out, she was sleeping when I made it tonight, so she'll get a chance to play with it in the morning. It will go perfect with the adorable costumes she got for her birthday. (Thanks Marsh's)

Sew Something Saturday!

It seems like I'm always grabbing a tissue these days. Whether it's a cold, or two year old tantrum, or cutting teeth, my daughters nose is always running lately.

I saw this adorable tutorial at Stardust Shoes for a Tissue Holder. I just knew I had to give it a try, and I am so glad I did. I absolutely love how these turn out. I made this cute flower one to throw in my daughters diaper bag. But I am definitely going to have to make some to match all my purses for the winter.

Bottom: Tissues in old plasic holder = Not So Cute

Toddler Time Thursday!

For Molly's birthday, she got a playdoh set with scissors in it. She was so excited to have more playdoh, and I was SO excited to have some scissors for her to start practicing with.

This is a really hard skill, I really thought she would get frustrated with it, but she was really enjoying working on cutting the "hot dogs" I made out of playdoh. This is going to take a lot of practice, but I am so excited that she is getting to work on so many new skills.

ABC & 123 has a lot of great cutting activities, and pre-cutting activities on there site. Check them out, they have really helped give me ideas on how to work on fine motor skills.

Wordless Wednesday!

Happy 2nd Birthday Molly!


Enjoying her favorite, ICE CREAM!!!
