This gaggle of girls loves art...markers, glue, paint, glitter... you name it, you might even say we're borderline obsessed! We spend many a minute creating. That being said, in this household exploring, experimenting, and discovering is essential...

Sticker Books (3/9)
How convenient... Grammy's Hallmark store just got in a whole line of Melissa and Doug products and she just so happened to bring some along on our 10 hour drive to North Carolina. We used one kit to make princesses. The other kit made really fun and stylish faces. What you need: Melissa & Doug sticker books, paper
Sydney didn't like the pre-printed noses; she covered them up with the mouth stickers EVERY time!

Trucking Through Play Doh- play date (3/6)
Little Miss Lilliana Mae
We were the only ones that managed to show up for the play date so our friend got out some play doh. The girls were very into mixing the colors. I was a little nervous that we'd be owing them some new play doh since we "ruined" all the colors but she said her son would probably be SO excited to have brown because the ONLY thing he does with the play doh is drive trucks on them and now it looked like mud... an unexpected success! We then used trucks to make tracks. What you need: play doh, trucks
Pizazzy Party Plates (3/6)
We were supposed to have a party play date for one of our mommy friends. We were in charge of plates and napkins. We wanted to add some pizazz to our plates so we added stickers. Unfortunately, the party was cancelled but we fortunately used our plates at another gathering. What you need: paper plates, assortment of stickers
Yogurt Drops (3/6)
We got this idea from Pinterest. Drop spoonfuls of yogurt onto a lined pan and freeze. We only buy vanilla yogurt so to add a little more flavor we blended in frozen strawberries before making our drops. Yummy! NOTE: once out of the freezer, they melt very quickly, so eat up...quickly!!! What you need: yogurt, spoon, (fruit & blender: optional), lined tray, freezer
Carwash (3/4)
The garage was in desperate need of organizing, so while Benny and I were busy building the new shelving unit, Kelsey took it upon herself to fill two empty orange juice containers from our dramatic play kitchen with soap and water. I gave the girls a paintbrush and said they could paint the driveway or wash the car. What you need: soap, water, paintbrush, container
Coloring Cafe (3/4)
The girls begged to have a sleepover downstairs so I
succumbed. We watched a movie, cozied up on the floor, ate popcorn, and
finally went to sleep (after midnight- ugh!) The next morning, I made a
picture menu for breakfast. What you need: paper, pencil What to do: draw and label food items you have available and are willing to make for breakfast. The girls excitedly dined at Mama in Pajamas Cafe. While they awaited their order, they drew on their place mats. What you need:
Crayola Twistables, paper place mats When they were finished eating, I
gave them a picture survey to fill out on the service, food, and
bathrooms What you need: handmade survey on paper, pencils
