Crafty Kidlets

What You Need:
Coffee/Hot Chocolate lid (like from Starbucks)
Scissors
Glue
Holiday Stamps or stickers
Glitter
Ribbon
White paper

1.Finish your yummy hot Chocolate and then wash and dry lid.
2. Cut a circle from the white paper that will fit inside the indented part on the top of the lid.
3. Decorate the paper circle with holiday stamps, stickers, or draw a picture.
4. Glue the decorated paper circle to the indented part on the top of the lid. I used a good amount of glue because I wanted it to come out around the sides so the glitter would stick.
5. Sprinkle glitter on the edges so it covers all the excess glue.
6. Let dry...then tie on your ribbon and hang it from the tree.

This would be cute to do with pictures of your family members for the circle part. Or you could cut up old Christmas card and use that for the center as well. Be creative the possibilities are endless.

Here are the envelopes I came up with to go with the previous posts mail bag. They are just from sheets of white felt.

I wanted to make a mail bag for a little boy who has a birthday coming up. The plan was to sew it from scratch but today I found this blue bag at Michaels....It is made out of the same material as reusable shopping bags. I decided to save time and stress that I could just dress this bag up. So I got some ribbon and red felt and got to work. I also made a button of an old Post Office Logo to make it look super offcial :) I hope the little boy will love it, I am filling the inside with real envelopes and paper so he can write lots and lots of letters. I was also thinking of making some felt reusable envelopes for playing pretend.

My girls love these tiny little animals and babies...they call them Fuzz Buddies, because the animals are fuzzy. Well they decided their fuzz buddies needed some beds.
These are the super easy beds I came up with...

What you will need:

Can Sensitive Skin Shaving cream
Table or other hard surface that needs some cleaning :)
Bucket of water (for rinsing hands)
Towels (for clean-up)

How to:
Give each kid a glob of shaving cream to play with . Once it is all over you can practice writing letters and drawing pictures. My kids LOVED this and ask to do it often. You can also play with shaving cream in the bathtub!

My 3 year old and I did this project last week and it was super easy. My daughter did hers all by herself except for twisting the wire at the end!
