FAVORITE EASTER CRAFTS. SO FAR.

With Easter well on the way, there are things that must be made for your little ones! Here's a little round up of some fun and easy Easter projects you and your littles can work on over the next few weeks. It's hard to pick favorites, but in case you were wondering, these are they! It's near impossible to choose one favorite, but if I had to choose, my absolute favorite (so far) are the egg hunt eggs. They were so much fun to make and even more fun to use! Of course, there are more super fun projects coming up over the next few weeks to get you pumped for Easter. We're pretty excited about them and I am pretty sure you will love them too. So check back often (ahem -  like tomorrow).

EASTER STICKER BUCKETS

Can you believe Easter will be here in just a few weeks? Crazy! I wanted to make something really simple to make your Easter special. If you don't do big elaborate baskets (I don't blame you) then these are perfect for filling with a few eggs and some candy. They are also great for gifting to friends or neighbors. We are planning on filling these with special treats for Elliott and his cousins, as a little surprise for Easter. I found the little buckets in one of my favorite places on earth. The Target dollar isle! But you could use the stickers for anything. Paper bags, baskets, buckets, you name it. You can download the sticker designs here. Just download, print them out onto sticker paper and cut them out. If you want to get real crafty, you can have your little ones color the images. Fancy, right? No matter what you use the stickers for, I am pretty sure your little ones will love them. So do them a solid and print them out, would ya?

Birthday Girl
Jump!
Lego love

The last few days have been non-stop for us. We went on a couple of fun outings with family, had a birthday party, a sleepover with the cousins and a lot of fun on a trampoline. Those things scare me to death when I'm watching the kids jump away on them. But they love them! Luckily this trampoline is an in-ground one, so it puts my nerves at ease. A little. With the cousins over here for a sleepover, they pretty much just played with legos. They took occasional breaks to sleep and eat, but other than that it was build, build, build. I can't complain! Made my job of keeping them entertained a lot easier. After a weekend like this one, I feel like I need another weekend. You know those? It was a lot of fun though! Hope your weekend was a blast as well! Happy Monday!

A RAINCLOUD FOR YOUR WALL

It's officially Spring and boy are we happy about it. What better way to welcome Spring than with a fun DIY? I am a little bit obsessed with this one. It was so fun to make with Elliott, he has been asking to make more! You can download the cloud print here and print it out at your local staples for under $2. It prints out to 18x24 inches. Or you can make your own cloud easily with a sharpie marker. Whatever floats your boat! You can see the full tutorial we did over here, and if you make one of your own, I would love to see it!

WE LOVE: DRAWNIMAL

Awesome learning and drawing app for kids
Awesome app for kids
Great app for kids

I love finding apps that are fun, educational and well designed. It's so rare! Drawnimal meets the requirements. It teaches the alphabet with some pretty adorable animals that prompt you to draw around the phone to complete the design. Genius, right? We love it! It's really easy to use and a lot of fun. And if you don't feel like using up an entire stack of paper, you could laminate a piece of paper and let them use that with some washable dry erase markers. They can draw again and again and your printer will still have paper. The illustrations are so cute. After they draw what is prompted, they can click on the play button for a little animated surprise. It's pretty fun stuff. I hope they continue to come out with more animals for the letters to give a little variety so the kids will keep going through the alphabet again and again. Just a thought! If you don't have it already, we really recommend it. Your kids will love it! It really comes in handy at any moment you need to keep the kiddos occupied. Which we all know is often.
