The Very Preppy Caterpillar

In my pre-school class we have been learning all about spring, and reading Eric Carle's "The Very Hungry Caterpillar." So for our craft, naturally, we made caterpillars! Imagine my delight when my daughter chose to do hers pink and green! (It was a very proud moment for me!) When I asked her why she chose those colors, she responded "because they are Lilly colors!" So instead of a very hungry Caterpillar, we made a very "preppy" Caterpillar!

Sock Bunnies!

Last night my daughter and I whipped up these adorable little sock bunnies! They were super easy to make, and most of the things you need to make them are already at your house. I saw this idea in a Family Fun magazine the last time at was at the pediatrician and knew I wanted to try it. We just adore Easter in our household, it's right on up there with Christmas! Not to mention I collect bunnies! So all you need to make these are an old sock, some uncooked rice or beans, a small piece of ribbon, and a rubber band. We also used googly eyes and some white felt for the teeth. Fill the sock up with rice or beans about up to around the heel. Tie that area off with a ribbon (this is the bunnies neck). Pour more rice in to make the head, then tie that off with a rubber band. The rest of the sock that is left, cut it into ear shapes (you really can't do it wrong.) You can decorate the face however you like, we hot-glued googly eyes on and small white felt pieces for the teeth. We then used a dot of black paint for the nose. I'm going to get a white pom-pom ball for the tail, but I haven't made it to the craft store yet. These are so cute and so so easy to make! My daughter had a blast making a sock Bunnie for her and her baby brother!

Glitter Galore!!!!

I recently discovered this Martha Stewart glitter set from Micheal's Arts and Crafts, and fell in love! It comes in twelve different shades that are absolutely beautiful! The set retails for $19.99, but I had a 50% off coupon and got it for $10! It is wonderful for all kinds of crafts and projects, or anything you can imagine! Miss Priss and I are currently working on a Easter project with it, I'll post pictures and instructions as soon as we are done. You can also find it on Martha's website. Did I mention I'm in love?!
