Block Printing Wall Art

Children's art projects, I am learning, can quickly pile up in stacks leaving you with the great debate; do I keep this or slyly throw it away. 

I'll admit, I am guilty of slyly throwing away some of Grace's art...though, if ever she discovers something in the recycle bin, I throw the blame on Mr. While Wearing Heels.  'I have no idea how that got in there, your dad must have accidentally thrown it away'. 

This block printing project, though, is one that was not destined for the recycle bin, instead, it became prominently featured and framed.

Block printing is so easy.  So, go grab some yarn and a block of wood and your own little artist.  Wrap the yarn around the block and, from the back, tape the yarn into place.

 

Pour some paint, in whatever color you like, onto some scrap paper.  Have your little artist dip the block of wood into the paint.

Then let them get creative and stamp an entire piece of card stock paper in whatever pattern or design that inspires them.

When it's done, I am sure you'd agree, it's worthy of being put on display. 

What do you do with your children's artwork? 

Bunny Favor Bags

Beside for cake, a birthday party is not complete without goodie bags.

What kind of goodie bags do you need for a bunny birthday party?  Bunny party favor bags, of course.

To make your own, gather the following supplies:  brown paper lunch bags, glue stick, bunny silhouettes {cut out of black cardstock} and white pom poms.

These are so easy to make, you could even put your little one to work making them.

Glue the bunny silhouette onto the front of the paper bag.  Then glue the white pom pom onto the 'tail' of the bunny silhouette.

The only thing left to do...fill them.

Each of our guests went home with one of the following a homemade cotton ball bunny tail, bunny ears and a bunny shaped silly straw. 

Thank goodness we had our bunny theme picked out early, we were able to take advantage of after Easter sales!
