Time for Tots/ Tots School over at Beautiful Girlhood!

Hi everyone! 

I decided to take part in Kelly’s Time for Tots/Tots School draw again. My friend Kelly-Anne is having a draw on activities for toddlers. She posts a post every week with an activity for toddlers and if you have an idea, post it on your blog and stand a chance to be one of the top five favorite tots activities! 

I took part in this a while ago. Recently my little brothers and sister made crashed rainbow eggs the other day I thought it would work well for another time for tots entry!

 Crashed Rainbow Eggs!!

What you need:

Old egg shells

Food coloring - all the colors you like!

Ziplock bags 

Wooden rolling pin 

White card stock 

Glue

Give each little one, a Ziplock bag filled with a few eggs shells. Let them crash it with their hands or a rolling pin.

Add the food coloring. Be sure to wear gloves or else your hands will be stained with food coloring!

Let them shake it, so that all the egg shells are colored.

There’s your crushed colored egg shells.

Draw an egg shape on a piece of white card stock. Put glue all over the egg shape.

Let your tots make patterns with all the different egg shells colors on the egg shape. 

Like this. Leave it to dry and then throw off the loose egg pieces.

There you are!

Please hop over to Beautiful Girlhood and take a look at her Time for Tots activities! 

Have a blessed week

Crafty Greeting

Have A Blessed Easter!

Hello everyone, just a short post to say............

I hope you all have a blessed Easter!!!

Here is a card I made for Easter with a model of three crosses we made in the background.

I used a digi stamp from Sweet N Sassy stamps and printed John 3:16 as sentiment.

The little ones (Danika 7yrs, Andrew 5yrs, David 4yrs and Daniel 2yrs) did two Easter activities the past few weeks. 

Three crosses, symbolizing Jesus’s crucifixion and an Easter Garden, to represent the garden were Jesus was buried in the new tomb and was raised from on the third day.

Danika planting her plant.

(left to right) Josua (age 10) the assistant, Daniel (age 2), David (age 4), Danika (age 7) and Andrew (age 5) at there garden.

The crosses and the garden.

Do remember that Easter is not just about bunnies and eggs, BUT most important about Jesus!! He died on the cross for all our sins and that is what Easter is all about! I’m not saying we should not have any easter eggs or bunnies, I’m only saying, do you know what it is really about? You can go and read some more on my mothers blog here.

I hope you all have a very blessed Easter weekend!

Time for Tots Activity At Beautiful Girlhood

Hello everyone! 

Today I’m posting a “Time for Tots Activity” post to enter the draw at Beautiful Girlhood blog! My dear friend Kelly-Anne is having a draw on activities for toddlers. She posts a post every week with an activity for toddlers and if you have an idea, post it on your blog and stand a chance to be one of the top five favorite tots activities! 

Since I also have many little siblings, I thought to give it a shot!

Painting eggs for Easter! 

What you will need:

Real eggs as many as you like

A needle or something thin and sharp to make holes in the eggs without breaking the egg. 

Different colors of crafting paint.

A paint brush 

Preparations 

You need to make two holes in the egg. One at the top and one at the bottom with a needle.

Now you must blow on the one hole in the egg. Egg will come out at the other side.

Then the little ones can get started! (let them wear an apron or old clothes)

Give every one a paint brush and egg and some paint and let them paint!

The older toddlers from about age 4 and up can paint patterns with different colours and the younger ones only one or two colors. You still need to supervise and help the younger ones! Here are some pictures:

Daniel (age 2) painting his egg! 

David (age 4) He isn’t board here, he just always likes to pull funny faces when we take pictures of him!!

Andrew (age 5) painting his egg.

Danika (age 7)

Josua (age 10) also wanted to try it out! 

From left to right Danika, David, Daniel and Andrew enjoying themselves!

Please do hop over to my dear friends’ blog and give her a few ideas of the tots activity you do with your little ones! For more information go here. 

Have a blessed week
