Mermaid Tail updated craft demo! + this year in lilac.

Summertime girls in our Tuesday Paper Plate Craft format! 

Choose one detail about each girl which I wanted to help recreate + share (Emma's curls + always wearing her hair down in 90+ heat, Abby) to help capture them just as they are during this summer of being 5 + 2 years old!

Demo on, "How-To" make the curls + other little details will be shared over on Instagram tomorrow!

Firework shakers for s Festive 4th Tuesday Paper Plate Craft! This one requires a glue gun which was fun to create post bedtime for the littles after a morning (and or afternoon?!) of painting paper plates in their favorite colors. We used Cheerios inside ours, though noddles would give it an extra loud crackle.

"How-To" Firecracker Shaker, here!

4th of July Firework Shaker Craft

Firework shakers for the 4th of July! 

In pink, purple + blue colors to let littles delight in most sparkle + noise this holiday. We used cheerios inside, though dry noddles would be just as great I'm sure! + heads up! This craft was almost all put together with my glue gun though my oldest got to paint 2 paper plates in choosing her favorite colors and shaking it when the craft is all done, truly is the best part for my 2 year old though!
