We visited the grandparents who live out of town, and I wanted the girls to make them something since they don't get to see them that often. It's easy for Claire to draw pictures now, but Nora isn't quite there yet. So, I had the girls make these fun art hangers for the fridge.

We love our "stained glass" crafts and made butterflies most recently. You'll need: scissors, tissue paper, clear contact paper, construction paper, tape, and a blank piece of paper.

It's that time of year and our *everything* is covered in maple seeds! Instead of sweeping them all away, I thought we could do a fun craft with them and this is what I came up with - Maple seed flowers! Claire said she had fun making them (painting specifically), so they are toddler approved.

It's spring and we have a family member who loves plants, so what's a better gift than a customized flower pot? To keep costs low, I used a 10" terracotta pot and I coated the outside with a clear coat of polyurethane first. This would seal it and make wiping off any painting mistakes easier. We just used Crayola washable paint for the details and then sprayed another clear coat on when it dried to seal everything.
