My girl and I will be taking a small break from this blog because other pressing matters require our attention: school work and basic day-to-day activities. I will still post about our crafting adventures here, but this blog will be silent until we have more free time.
Thank you for dropping by!
My biggest struggle in spending time with my kids is selfishness: I want to do what I want to do when I want to do it. It is that simple.
Sometimes I have to force myself to put away my project and go play, but as my kids have grown bigger (and bigger and bigger), I realize that every moment I spend with them is worth it.
Here are some fun ways to play together on a snow-day:
--build a snow fort
--make snow angels
--have a snow ball fight
--spray a snow sculpture with colored water (use food coloring)
--write messages in the snow
--take photographs together
--sled down a hill
--be birdwatchers
--make snow slushes:
Snow slushes are so easy! They are also tasty and they have no fat!
Gather juice (any flavor) and some cups (don't use glasses, I just used them for the photographs):
Pack clean, white snow into your cup:
Slowly pour the juice into the cup:
Use a spoon or a straw to eat/drink your slush:
Enjoy!
Here is a tutorial for your girl, aged 10 and up, to make with your guidance. For a beginner I would suggest making the outside of the bag out of one piece of fabric, but if you choose to piece the fabrics together, take your time and all will be well.
The last step of the tutorial has tips on making the bag bigger (up to adult-sized), and the one shown will work for 5-10 year old girls.
You can access the tutorial here, and it will also remain in my sidebar.
Happy sewing!
***If you make one of these, you may post a picture here!
