Happy Valentine’s Week! 

I enjoy making printable Valentine’s for my girls class parties every year and usually we include some sort of candy as an attached gift.

But this year we did something a little different for my “tweens” Valentine’s cards.

According to my 4th grader Stella, Crocs and Croc charms to decorate them, are popular with all the kids , so we made Croc Valentine’s! 

These fun printable cards ae shaped like colorful Crocs shoes and perfect for gifting to school classmates for Valentine’s Day parties!

You can even attach a Croc charm to the card as a special gift!

Scroll down to download and print the cards.

These cards come two to a page and in 4 colors.

They also have two phrases and plenty of space to add a message and sign your name.

I ordered these Croc charms online in bulk. I got a pack of Stitch and Hello Kitty, Stella’s favorites!

So fun and cute!

I found this bright green Halloween Funfetti frosting that was perfect for this Beetlejuice themed dough.

Scoop the fluffy dough onto a plate or cutting board.

Now the kids can play with it or you can add sprinkles and mix ins.

Happy Earth Day!

Here’s a great way to reuse and upcycle something that would normally be trash! I used broken pieces of Ava and Stella’s crayons and melted them in a silicone tray.

We tried flower shapes first then we made alphabet letters to spell out words and our names.

Not only is this Earth Day inspired craft easy to make but the colorful crayon shapes turn out so pretty and unique. They make fun gifts or party favors too.

With the cool spring weather and sunny days, this was the perfect weekend craft for us to do as a family on the patio!

What you need:

50 or more broken and old crayons in a variety of colors

alphabet letter silicone mold (order via Amazon here)

bowl of warm water, optional

Directions:

1. Start by sorting through your containers of old and broken crayons. We counted out about 50 to fill one full alphabet mold. 

2. Now remove the paper wrappers from all the crayons. We like to soak ours in a bowl of warm water for 10 minutes so they come off easier. 

3. Once all the paper is removed make sure to completely dry off the crayons. 

4. Now add to the molds, breaking into smaller pieces and combining multiple colors for each letter. 

5. Fill each letter completely will crayon pieces.

6. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees.

7. Add the filled mold to a parchment paper lined baking sheet and place in the oven.

8. Bake for 15 minutes until crayons are  fully melted and molds are filled.

9. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before removing (or they will crack). We waited at least 30 minutes. 

10. Carefully pop out and remove the letters from the mold onto a lined tray.

11. Repeat with remaining crayons if you want additional letters to spell certain names and words.

We did extra vowels and “L”, “D”, and “M” so we had enough to spell Mom, Dad, and the girls’ names. 

12. Now you can spell names and wrap up as gifts or simply upcycle and reuse for your own at home coloring projects!

Stella started by gathering her broken and old crayons. We separated about 50 to start. 

Make sure you gather a variety of bright colors.

Now remove the paper wrappers from all the crayons.

We like to soak ours in a bowl of warm water for 10 minutes so they come off easier. 

Once all the paper is removed make sure to completely dry off the crayons. 

I ordered this silicone alphabet mold off Amazon. It works perfectly and I love the style and size of the letters.

Here is my Amazon link if you would like to order one: https://amzn.to/3xYwkgc .

Now add to the molds, breaking into smaller pieces and combining multiple colors for each letter. 

Fill each letter completely will crayon pieces.

Add the filled mold to a parchment paper lined baking sheet and place in the oven.

Bake at 250 degrees for 15 minutes until crayons are fully melted and molds are filled.

Remove carefully from the oven and let cool completely ( about 30 minutes).

You can also place in the fridge to speed up cooling.

Carefully pop out and remove the letters from the mold onto a lined tray.

Look how colorful and pretty they turned out!

Repeat with remaining crayons if you want additional letters to spell certain names and words.

We did extra vowels and “L”, “D”, and “M” so we had enough to spell Mom, Dad, and the girls’ names. 

Now you can spell names and wrap up as gifts or simply upcycle and reuse for your own at home coloring projects!

I have also made these crayons in flower and heart shapes.

These were smaller and worked well for my toddler at the time. The molds are from IKEA.

Happy Earth Day!

These vibrant Easter eggs are naturally dyed blue and inspired by my kiddos favorite Disney cartoon, Bluey. 

Who is Bluey? Set in Australia, Bluey is a Blue Heeler puppy who lives with her mum, dad, and little sister, Bingo.  You can watch this adorable show on Disney+.

Stella loves Bluey and is even having a Bluey themed birthday party next month! Stay tuned for all the party details!

What you need:

6-8 large or XL eggs

1/2 head of purple cabbage, roughly chopped

2 tbsp salt

1 tbsp vinegar

card stock, cut into small strips

Bluey themed decal stickers

tape

Directions:

1. Bring a large pot of water to boil on the stove over medium high heat.

2. Gently add eggs and purple cabbage.

3. Next, add salt and vinegar.

4. Let boil for 10 minutes then remove from heat.

5. Let cool in the pot then place in the fridge for at least 6-8 hours. I like to leave it overnight.

6. Carefully remove eggs from the pot and place on a paper towel lined plate to dry off. Discard water and cabbage. 

7. Tape together small strips of cardstock into circles. They should be smaller than the width of the eggs.

8. Add tape to the back, bottom of the Bluey stickers and attach one to each of the cardstock egg holders.

9. Lastly, slip the dried eggs into the Bluey themed egg holders. 

10. Display your Bluey eggs for Easter or peel and use for egg salad or deviled eggs.

I first saw this Easter egg hack on Instagram and immediately thought of making them Bluey themed. 

All you need to naturally dye the eggs a pretty blue is purple cabbage, vinegar, salt, and boiling water. 

Bring a large pot of water to boil on the stove over medium high heat.

Gently add eggs and purple cabbage.

Next, add salt and vinegar.

Let boil for 10 minutes then remove from heat.

Let cool in the pot then place in the fridge for at least 6-8 hours. I like to leave it overnight.

Carefully remove eggs from the pot.

Place on a paper towel lined plate to dry off. Discard water and cabbage. 

The prettiest blue eggs!

Tape together small strips of cardstock into circles. They should be smaller than the width of the eggs.

Add tape to the back, bottom of the Bluey stickers and attach one to each of the cardstock egg holders.

I leave the backing on the stickers so they are sturdier and stay flat.

Lastly, slip the dried eggs into the Bluey themed egg holders. 

Display your Bluey eggs for Easter or peel and use for egg salad or deviled eggs.
