Funny Bunny Faces Game

Easter is right around the corner, so I decided to create a fun bunny drawing game. I was inspired by this game. My kiddos love drawing, although I often hear “I don’t know how to draw a…”. This silly game is designed to be fun and help kids realize that there is not just one way to draw bunnies. All you need is the Funny Bunny Faces PDF, a dice, paper and a pencil.

Each player takes turns rolling the dice. Start by rolling to decide which style of bunnies cheeks you will be drawing. Once everyone has drawn their cheeks, roll again to decide which face, then nose etc until you have a complete silly bunny face.

The kids struggled a bit to visualize where all the bunnies noses, cheeks etc should be placed, but quickly got the hang of it.

Each bunny is a bit silly, but the kids giggled as their drawing came together.

Hope you enjoy this simple, silly bunny game.

How to Draw a Dog

How to Draw a Dog in 6 Easy Steps

I love when my kids learn something new, they can’t wait to share it with us and everyone that stops by:) They have a crazy amount of enthusiasm, and it is SO contagious. There are so many days I am in giggles because of something that they did or said.

My kids love drawing and telling stories. So when a friend taught them this little trick, they were super excited and had to share it with all you!

Steps 1 and 2

Steps 4 and 5

Steps 5 and 6

How to Draw a Dog Story:

Once there was a little boy and he had no face and no arms.

He went for a walk and got chased by 6 bees.

So he jumped into a lake.

Where there were 2 caves, and each cave had one bear in it.

The boy walked around the forest.

While walking he came across 2 lakes.

What a cute story and I love how the dog turns out. Bree also wanted to make a little video as well. Too fun!

Spring Photo Hunt

The weather is absolutely beautiful!!! The kids have been running around in shorts and flip flops and they started noticing little signs of spring in our backyard. It’s a bit early to really dig into the garden, so we decided to go on a hunt for spring. A green spring photo hunt is perfect to help celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.

We went on a short walk around the neighborhood. Kaleb was in charge of snapping photos. I think it is fun to hand over the camera and see life from your child’s perspective. They have a unique perspective and often capture things that we miss. Our kids have a camera that is theirs to use, but they love taking pictures on my SLR.

I love this time of year. There is something so special about observing nature “come alive” again after being dormant. It was fun watching the kids run around in search of green leaves. There was lots of squeals when they found little plants peeking out. I’m sure the neighbors were wondering what we were up to. We probably did look a bit silly running around, but more than that Bree brought one of our chickens(Chip) on the walk with us. Ha! I’m not sure if Chip enjoyed the Spring hunt as much as the kids did, but she was a great sport.

I hope you are taking time with your kiddos to enjoy spring. Grab your camera and head outside.

St. Patrick’s Day

I am so ready for spring to be here. Nothing is better than jumping in puddles and watching everything turn green once again. With spring comes our favorite green holiday…St. Patrick’s Day. To celebrate, here is a quick post highlighting some of my favorite past St. Patrick’s Day Activities.

These sparkly Shamrock Crystals were a HUGE hit in our house. I love how they shimmer in the sun. This was our first attempt at making these fun crystals. Since then we have made them for almost every holiday.

Credit Card Art

Scraping paint with credit cards is a fun twist on painting that your kids will love. We used a rainbow of colors for St. Patrick’s Day.

Shamrock Sprouts

The kids loved tending to their mini sprout garden. We were amazed that the sprouts grew without any soil! We were surprised at how quickly they sprouted on the damp shamrock sponge.

St. Patrick’s Day School Lunch

Festive school lunches are always a hit in our house. My kids love the corny jokes! Your kids will get a kick out of few festive jokes on simple Shamrock shapes.

Stamping with cookie cutters is a simple way for little ones to paint. Cookie cutter painting is one of my go to holiday painting projects for little ones. This is one of my favorite cookie cutters.

Racing Balloon Leprechauns

Racing balloon leprechauns was a HUGE hit! There was a bit of set up, but totally worth it. The kids favorite part was watching their leprechauns fly to the rainbow.

Fix Barbies Hair

103

How to tame doll hair with one simple trick.

I grew up playing with Barbies, but mostly just when friends came over. I remember my mom spending hours sewing special outfits for my dolls. The sad thing was, I never really played with them. Now with two young girls in my house, you would think that I would be sewing the special outfits and tripping over well loved barbies. It must be genetic because the girls play with them some, but like me only occasionally. Barbie hair always seems to be out of control. We set up this simple indoor play salon to help fix Barbies hair, and the girls loved it.

Did you know that on March 9, 1959, Barbie (Barbra Millicent Roberts) debuted at the American Toy Fair in New York City. Who knew Barbie had a full name. Happy Birthday Barbie.

How to Fix Barbie Hair ~ Set up a Doll Hair Salon

As you can tell from one look at Ariel (decked out in Belle’s Dress), the barbies in our house are in need of some love. After some quick research on line about how to care for barbie hair, we set up a little salon.

My girls love this simple trick , and it totally works!

You will need:

A Barbie ~ or similar doll or my little pony
Barbie Hair Brush
Hot water (but not boiling)
Towel

First, brush your barbies hair the best that you can. Then simply “dunk” her hair in really hot water for about 30 seconds and towel dry. Now all you need to do is give your barbie a new hair style.

Brush and style your barbies hair. Once the hair is dry, the frizz and snarls will be gone. OK, it’s not that magical but it will leave your barbies hair looking much, much better.
