Ok- so here are a couple of crafts that I have done lately. The first one is called salt dough. It is like playdough- only when you are done making what you want- you put it in the microwave for about 2 minutes or until it is hard- let it cool and then you can color your creation with markers, paint, or anything else you can think of. It was alot of fun and WAY easy.
So- for those of you who might want to do this with your own kids- here is the recipe:
1 cup salt
1 cup flour
1/2 cup water
combine the flour and salt. Mix together, then make a well in the center and add water until it is smooth and not sticky. Then create!!!
We made pumpkins, witches, and ghosts for halloween!
Next- I made a tutu for Macie. It was sooo easy and only took me about 2 hours to make. All you do for this is get a piece of elastic, cut the tulle into strips and tie the tulle aroung the elastic- then just tie the elastic around your child's waste and you can slip it on and off as often as you like. Again- super easy and way cute and fun!!!
I was so excited for Macie to see this and I could only imagine how excited she was going to be- well when I showed it to her- she looked at me like I was crazy and won't even try it on- yes- she still has yet to wear it or play in it. So sad- maybe one day she will decide that it is cool.
