Happy Wednesday! My kids actually lucked out today, because they are having three friends stay the night. And yes, I do have a couple of projects up my sleeve for them to create. 😉 You can check out my Girls Sleepover Craft Ideas from previous sleepover projects. I will also be busy the next couple days, getting ready for our road trip…(you can read a little more about that here.)
So, if you know me, I’m all about making homemade gifts and creating. I am also one of those people that saves gift bags to re-use. I have no shame in re-using, and I don’t think I’ve had to buy a gift bag in YEARS. Anyways, so for this Father’s Day this year we decided to ‘create’ a gift box, filled with homemade cookies, and all sorts of ‘daddy’ snacks, and then we decorated it. I allowed my kids to use their imagination as much as possible. I had an old cake box we saved that was in good condition. I let the kids pick out the different scrapbooking papers that we glued to the box. Then I painted the kid’s hands and let them make handprints on top. The sides then became covered with drawings and colors (and some Dora stickers!) Believe me, the kids had a lot more fun decorating this than just buying some wrapping paper.
We ended up taping the edges so the paper wouldn’t ‘accidentally’ get ripped up by my two year old 😉
