I love having the kids home from school. Normally on a January day home from school, we would spend all day inside crafting, snuggling and watching movies. Well, that is exactly what we did most of the morning. There was still a bit of snow on the ground so I didn't think it could possibly be in the mid 60's.
First we colored and just drew random fun pictures
Then we got out some construction paper and our trusty stapler and made these fun heart wreaths. These were so quick and easy, we may need to make more :-)
Seriously, all we did was cut 2 inch strips of paper, fold them in half, fold the other ends in to form a heart and then staple. Once we had as many as we wanted, we stapled them together and used string to hang them. Easy Peasy :-)
While we still had the construction paper out, we decided to make a few woven heart bags. These are actually really easy, they look harder then they really are. We had so much fun making these that we are going to make some for all their classmates for Valentines Day!
We are going to use thinner strips of the paper and add a little strap. Aren't they adorable!?
You can find the tutorial we used to make these HERE
You can find different versions of these all over pinterest!
We also painted paper plates and rocks but I didn't take any pictures of that. We just did it! lol
In the midst of working on all of this, we discovered how nice it was outside. We stopped everything and ran out to play. We road bikes, played in the melting snow and jumped on the trampoline.
It was a pretty great day :-)
