Marble Racetrack

I saw this idea a while ago and thought it looked like fun. Later when I found pool noodles at the dollar store I had no excuse.

To make the race track I took my pool noodle and cut it in half. I found that a serrated knife made a much cleaner cut than a regular knife. I then used toothpicks to secure each half of the noodle side by side.

We then made a starting line . . .

And a finish.

Don't forget to put something at the bottom of the track to catch all your marbles.

My kids have raced marbles for hours. They love this. It's a perfect rainy day activity.

Picture Scavenger Hunt

I sent my daughter on a scavenger hunt the other day to keep her busy.  I handed her the camera and a list of things to take pictures of.  I told her to come back and show me her pictures when she was done.

Her list told her to find the following:

Something:

Red

Orange

Yellow

Green 

Blue

Purple

Pink

Black

Brown

Gray

Something that starts with the letter:

A

B

C

D

Something:

Happy 

Sad 

Scary

But because she's just learning to read her list looked like this:

She had a great time scouting out the items on her list and she loved showing me her finds when she was done.  I think it was a success.

Spring Headband

I'm so glad spring is here . . . and all the darling spring clothes that I get to buy for my kids now.

Here's an idea for a hair accessory to add to your cute spring outfits . . .

I started by cutting my lace fabric into a six inch circle.  Your finished flower will be half the size that you start with, so my finished flower is three inches in diameter.

I then folded and pressed a quarter of an inch edge all the way around my fabric.  Once that was done I hand stitched all the way around the folded edge (for more detailed instructions look here) and then pulled my gathered thread to create a three inch flower.

Then chose a button for the center and stitch it on.

Cut a small circle out of felt and hand stitch to the back of the flower.

Cut two slits in your felt so you can slip in a hair clip or headband.  Some people like to glue their fabric flowers to their headbands, but by making them removable you can use the same headband with multiple fabric flowers.

All done.  Enjoy Spring!
