As many of you know, I love making things.\u00a0 I would much rather try and make or build something, than go to a store and buy it.\u00a0 The babies “Thank You” cards for their birthday are no exception.\u00a0 It was a great way to introduce the kiddos to the concept of handmade.\u00a0 This was a very easy project.<\/p>\n
I started out with plain thank you cards because I didn’t really have time to cut and fold paper like I had planned.\u00a0 Next came the fun part!\u00a0 I gave each of the babies a piece of bubble wrap and put some globs of finger paints on it.\u00a0 The first thing each baby had to do was stick it in their mouths to taste it.\u00a0 Ella either thought it tasted good, or was really hungry because she kept eating the paint.\u00a0 Jack took a couple tastes and that was it.\u00a0 OK, so the next step was to have the kiddos smear the paints all around the bubble wrap.\u00a0 Ella was really into it.\u00a0 Her piece of bubble wrap was all gooey, and painty, and gorgeous!\u00a0 Jack needed a little encouragement.\u00a0 He wasn’t real sure about the paints.\u00a0 After awhile, he did a little smearing.\u00a0 After the paints was good and mixed, I took the cards and “stamped” them with the bubble wrap.\u00a0 I think they turned out looking awesome!!!<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
