Painted Pull Back Cars {Kid Craft}

With summer in full swing I often find my kids bored to tears with nothing to do except watch T.V. and play video games.    So I love to find a fun craft for them that fits all ages.  So today I am sharing my painted pull back cars. We made these a while ago and my kids loved it.  They painted for an hour or so then spend the afternoon racing there cars.  A perfect activity when you are trying to beat the heat or stuck inside.

LDS Young Women- August 2013 Lesson Handouts

As a new Young Women's President I found myself looking through the new LDS Youth curriculum and wanted each lesson to have a handout.  I loved getting handouts on Sunday and kept each one.  I still have a few of my favorites.  I think having that little handout is a reminder throughout the week of how we can hold to our teaching and promises. I have tried to make a free printable for each lesson or have a link to someone who did one.  If you have a free printable for the new curriculum I would love to add it to my post.  Please send me an email (cosettescloset{at}gmail.com) with your link!

For the Lesson  Why is Family Important?

Why is a Temple Marriage Important?

Princess play Capes {Riley Blake Designs}

With Christmas in July at an end I wanted to share a product from one of my favorite companies.  Riley Blake Designs. They sent me there new Super Hero and Princess cape panels to try  out and share. My little Miss is obsessed with blue right now so of course I had to make the turquoise princess cape panel.

Dinosaur Quiet Time Playmat

Yesterday I posted my Lil' Traveler Race Track.  Today is the Lil' Traveler Dinosaur Play mat.  I found this post with Serving Pink Lemonade.  I love the little mat she made for traveling on the airplane or car and wanted to make one for my little guy.  I just never got around to it until I had my Race Car Mat idea.  Both of these mats are the perfect size for carrying around. Not Bulky and will keep your lil' guy occupied. Here is how I did it.  

Quiet Time Play Mat Tutorial

For the Vinyl version I used the layout from Serving Pink Lemonade but used iron on transfer vinyl from Expressions Vinyl. I just picked a few colors and went for it. (Note: When buying vinyl make sure you have a piece long enough to work.) I love this method.  I just cut everything out one night while watching my favorite show and the next morning I put it together. For the back ground I use 2 fabrics. One for the sky and one for the ground using equal parts.  Just sew them together and Iron.  Then finish the instructions in the play mat tutorial.

Vinyl Version

For the felt version I followed the same method except I really like having my felt sewn on.  So I sewed mine into place instead of ironing

Felt Version

Fold them up and you are ready to go!
