A Spoonful of Love

Well this is exciting - Disney asked me to be a contributing blogger to their site, Spoonful. From now on you can find me 3 days a week at Spoonful. I hope to add lots of crafts and fun projects for kids to make and do.

My first craft is up on Spoonful - it is a fairy tea set. I'm all about tea parties this week. I made Nola and Kira each an acorn tea set and gave it to them for Valentine's (the one pictured is Nola's.) The girls, of course, loved their tea sets and immediately started pouring their little jars of love into the acorn tea cups.

 

I hope you're feeling very loved today. Yesterday, Eric and I had a date morning at our art museum - it was perfect.

Happy Valentine’s to you!

A Quick Craft #5: How To Make A Pretty Place Card Holder

Every kid LOVES seeing their now name! These pretty place card holders make the table look festive and each little girl feel loved. 

A Quick Craft #4: How To Make Pretty Tea Bags

At the girls' Valentine's Tea Party last week, I decorated the tea pot with pretty hearts.

Paint red hearts on a piece of watercolor paper or card stock. While you are waiting for the hearts to dry, fill a linen tea bag with yummy berry tea. Punch a hole in the hearts and attach the hearts to the bag. You are ready for a tea party.

To make this craft even quicker and simpler: use pre-made berry tea bags.

(Pretty tea bags also make great gifts)

Preparing for Tea - An Artsy Heartsy Party

Last Friday the girls had a special 'Artsy Heartsy Party' for two of their friends. It was so twee!

We made the invitation out of a painted heart and hand-delivered it the day before the party.

Simple painted hearts created a pretty scene and after a tea party, the girls all painted their own hearts.

Give a Little Love

Encoraging children to give: Fill a little jar with love, attach a cord to wear on Valentines. All day long your child can give love to everyone they meet.
