Snow Candy!

We are reading the Little House in the Prairie Series right now for school and decided to try out some Snow candy!




Unfortunately it ended up being the last snow of the season that we tried this with, but we will definitely be making more next year! It was yummy!

Valentines Day banner

This idea came from Martha Stewart I believe...

This is the biggest heart banner (the medium one didn't get a picture...)


And then because we still haven't taken down our Thankful Tree, we decided to decorate it with the littlest hearts!

Valentines Day Cards

We got this fun little idea from Pinterest! So cute and very simple. The older boys did this without a problem.

melted crayon hearts

This week for our art project we sharpened lots of crayons, laid them between wax paper, covered it with a towel, and laid an iron on top of it. Later I traced a heart on top, cut them our and hung them on the windows. The boys loved to see the crayons when they were only half melted! They had a lot of fun with this project. Idea found here.

sorry, it was late when I remembered to take a picture...

Constellations

In science the boys were learning about stars, so we took a break from the textbook and dived into a little star 'gazing'! We looked up a few constellations, learned a little about them, then 'charted' them onto paper. Idea found here.

Pumpkins

I had my husband draw a pumpkin for me on a paper (I'm no artist) and I then copied the pumpkin 4 times. The kids then had fun coloring and cutting out faces for them! Easy yet fun art project.

Bats!

The boys and I had a ton of fun making these bats for all. over. the. house. Really, I think there are four walls that are covered in bats throughout my house! I really like them! I'm sad to have to take them down soon...
