Is Your Child Ready?

As one school year gets closer to the close, it is time to think of the next.  My 3rd child will be starting Kindergarten in the Fall. It is such a sad, yet exciting time!  I just can't believe how big she is getting. Time flies!  

Here is an awesome website The Measured Mom that has 500+  free printables for various ages on a variety of subjects.  Everything from Alphabet books with pictures, sight word readers, math activities, handwriting & spelling, just to name a few. This site is definitely worth taking a peek at!

Adorable Jelly Bean Butterflies

WHAT YOU NEED:

• Clothes Pins
• Paint markers
• Wiggly eyes
• Pipe cleaners
• Sandwich bags (I used snack size)
• Candy ( I used SweeTART jellybeans)
• Hot glue

WHAT TO DO:

1.  Make dots down the clothes pin. You can either make a variety of colored butterflies or one single color 

 2. Glue wiggly eyes to the top of each clothes pin

3. Using the pipe cleaner - fold in half, roll ends ( I rolled mine around pencils) then hot glue in place on the side with the wiggly eyes.

4. Pour 1/3 Cup of candy into the snack bag

5.  Remove air before sealing the bag, fold top over once, gather in the center from top to bottom and clip the clothes pin to make your butterfly.

Valentine's day card ideas

I wanted to share an awesome site that has an adorable non-candy Valentine's Day card option. Check out Kinzie's Kreations Valentine's Ideas. My kids loved this idea and will be sharing them with their classmates this year.

Kinzie's creations has tons of great ideas for a variety of other occasions.
