Super Hero Dress Ups and Costume

 

A few months ago I hosted a yard sale for a Youth Fundraiser.  One of the donations was a simple super hero cape made by a neighbor who had passed away.  Her family were cleaning out the house and decided to donate the old dress ups.  I was totally intrigues by the simplicity of these capes and just had to recreate them in an updated version.  So I began figure out the designs I wanted and how I would put them together.  So today I will share how I made the basic cape and over the next couple of weeks I will share the individual images I made for each super hero. So First up is Spiderman!

I will start with the basic cape that is used for all versions.

Turkey Crayon Holder

Every year growing up for TThanksgiving we had a kids table.  All the cousins would be there and we would just have fun visiting and playing together for the holiday.  I though for this year I would make something cute and useable for our kids table.  So I came up with this adorable Turkey Crayon holder.  It makes and adorable center piece and holds your kiddos crayons for something to do.  Watch for my kids activity page to go with it in a couple weeks!  Just in time for the Turkey!

Future MacGuyver Kit {Maybe I Will}

Do you have a guy who love gadgets and gizmos?  If so this may be the perfect gift.  Do you remember Mac Guyver from when you were a kid?? My family loved it.  Know you can watch it on Netflix.  So I sat my kids down and showed them a few episodes.  It is a little hokey looking back but if nothing else it brings back the creativity and problem solving kids need. Andie from Maybe I will came up with this adorable kit for her son and he is in love.  I used it as part of my TV segment. He was thrilled when I brought  it back home. Needless to say it was a hit!  So head on over and check it out!

Lacing Boards {I Gotta Try That}

Make your own fun and educational lacing boards for your kids!

These lacing cards will definitely keep little hands busy and entertained in the car, on a plane, at restaurants, church or even while mom's trying to get dinner ready.

Lacing toy's encourage dexterity, fine motor skills, coordination and attention to detail, all while enjoying every minute of it.

I purchased the supplies at the dollar store.

A cardboard puzzle, a foam puzzle and two books with 

the really thick pages.

I started with the Disney book and cut out the board pages.

This one book will give us six lacing cards.

The foam puzzle I left alone, but I took the cardboard puzzle 

and glued the pieces so it would'nt come apart.

Next I took a sharpie and put a dot everywhere 

I wanted a hole to be.

Then we drilled a hole on every dot!

I purchased a few bright colored shoe laces

from the dollar store to lace with.

You will need a long shoelace for each board.

 That's it!

You can let the kids take it from here.

They will have countless hours of fun!

Only time will tell...Valentine Printable

I found these cute candy watches the other day at the dollar store.  I loved these as a kid and begged my mom to buy me one at the store.  Do you remember them?? Candy necklaces, lipstick and bracelets. They were the best.  Well my little miss saw them and wanted them to.  And for only a buck who can say no?  So I came up with this sweet, easy valentine for her to help make. I used one of my favorite things... Washi Tape!
