Bird House

Ok, last post of the day. WE MADE A BIRD HOUSE! Yes, it rocks. We used a Half & Half carton, glue, tissue paper pieces, a popsicle stick, construction paper (covered with contact paper), and a few little confetti shapes.

 So I didn't take step by step directions. Here is what it looks like when it's complete. I love it! All we need now is some bird seed to put in the bottom of it, then we can hang it outside in a tree!

Feet Painting

There's nothing like hanging out outside on a gorgeous day. This idea came straight from Pinterest. We just rolled out some of our IKEA Easel paper, made sure it stayed down with rocks, then dripped paint all over.  Next step, "Stomp like an elephant!". 

 She had so much fun and wanted to do it again. 

Baby girl was watching her toys on her bouncer.

 Here it is! We cut it out nice and it is hanging on the wall in her room.

**EDIT: We used acrylic paint (probably not the best choice) and it does in fact stain your concrete. Months later, we still have little colorful footprints in our driveway. But they are so cute!**

Plastic Egg Painting

OK, so I am a little behind with some of these posts, so today you get 3!

This was our Easter egg painting with plastic eggs. It is pretty self explanatory.

 She takes her art work VERY seriously.

 Finished product!

Q-Tip Painting - Easter Egg

I decided we needed to do something Eastery (yes, I used that made up word). We did q-tip painting on a construction paper egg. No further explanation needed; here are the pictures.

Color Explosion

Apparently I love vinegar and baking soda together; I feel like we do it often! Here's what went down.

 Step 1: Add drops of food coloring onto spoon.

 Step 2: Cover with baking soda... ooo, the mystery!

 Step 3: One spoon at a time, mix into a cup of vinegar, and voila!

 Fizzy bubbles everywhere! I had to help shake the spoon a little to get the color going, but once the color hit the vinegar, it was a color explosion! Words straight from the two year old's mouth, "Wow! I'm making yellow!" (obviously not in this pic, haha)

And that's it!
