We saw this giant eye spy at our local kids museum. Isn't it great? What a great idea for a pre school class or playroom! This would be easy to do with a bunch of those photo laser stickers and a large thrifted tray. Spray paint the tray white, add stickers and hang. Awesome!</div>Mama Kinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10286811333081238266noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828907640138776622.post-36145827602763970272012-07-13T13:48:00.000-04:002012-07-13T13:48:25.398-04:00Kids Craft: Bow & Arrow Set<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The girls are Merida crazy despite the fact we haven't seen Brave. We are almost to the end of the junior novelization of the story and of course you can not miss all the advertisements and product hawking that goes into any movie these days. Lu has been asking me to make her a bow and arrow set for a while so...here it is! To my surprise it actually works. This was the lazy mommies attempt at making a bow and arrow set. I am sure I will be amazed when I bother to google homemade bow and arrow sets. This took about 10 minutes from start to finish. The paper towel tube is by far her favorite part of the set. She is walking around with it on now! </div>

Tomorrow is our last Daisy meeting of the school year. Our last activity will be autographing hats. I just finished ironing the daisies on! These should turn out cute and remind the girls of Daisies over the summer. The two baseball hats are leader hats.</div>

The Strolling of the Heifers in Brattleboro, Vermont was everything a small town parade should be. There were a cast of characters, local clubs, homemade floats, marching bands and...cows! Approximately 100 of them. Not to mention donkeys, miniature horses and alpacas. The steady rain didn't put a damper on any ones spirits as the Fairy Cow-Mother and her Dairy Princesses started off the parade with tutus, umbrellas and rain boots. My girls were thrilled by the baby cows, stilt walkers, music and of course the treats being handed out along the parade route. Being Vermont, Dum-Dum lollipops and Tootsie Rolls were being handed out alongside packets of baby carrots and organic fruit snacks. </div>

Recently we went to a Korean Cultural Celebration at our local college. They had several craft stations set up...calligraphy, book marks, and this, paper hat making. This was the girls favorite activity. They had the hats folded and ready for the kids to decorate with dot paints and tissue flowers.</div>

We are totally felt crazy here at the 4 Crazy Kings.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have made felted <a href="http://4crazykings.blogspot.com/2011/12/homemade-holiday-gift-felted-soap.html">soap</a>, <a href="http://4crazykings.blogspot.com/2011/12/homemade-holidays-ornament-crazy.html">ornaments</a>, beads, art pieces, <a href="http://4crazykings.blogspot.com/2011/07/my-new-obsession.html">fairy crowns</a>, flower barrettes, and change purses. Quickly running out of things to felt we heard you could wet felt a rock. A rock? You might be asking yourself why? Well, with summer almost here we have been eating outside almost every night. We found a small felted rock makes the perfect napkin weight. A larger rock makes an excellent doorstop. We even made a few "hamster" rocks for the kids friends. They have actually been a big hit. Who knows, maybe we could single handily bring back the pet rock!</div>
<br />

They are pretty fun to make and Michael's craft store recently started selling wool roving. Although you will get a better selection of colors on line or if you are lucky enough to live near a store like New England Felting in Massachusetts. Wool and sheep shows are also a great source.</div>

The small rocks are easy for little kids to felt. There are plenty of YouTube videos on how to wet felt. With kids I would help them layout the felt and wrap around the rock. Several layers are necessary to get good coverage. Place rock wrapped in felt into a knee high pantie hose. Tie off pantie hose and then have them start the felting process.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can see the smaller rock needs to be felted better. Depending on the age and attention span of your child you may end up with some partially felted rocks. No worries. You can always have them go back and continue felting another time. Just add soap, warm water and continue rubbing.</div>

</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
Hello Readers! I have a great giveaway for you - Digital Scrapbooking Software from <a href="http://mymemories.com/">My Memories</a>. The software is valued at $40.00. The winner will receive a code which can be used on the My Memories website upon checkout. <br />
<br />
Now, I should begin by telling you I am not a scrapbooker. I know...it is shocking! I am probably the craftiest person you will meet, but I do not scrapbook. I have tried the traditional method. I just find it too time consuming and a bit overwhelming. I could spend all night on one layout. In the end I just have a bunch of supplies, a lot of half finished albums, and boxes of disorganized photos. I really wish I could commit to scrapbooking. I am always in awe of the beautiful albums and ideas I see on other blogs.<br />
<br />
I didn't know anything about digital scrapbooking before I started using the <a href="http://mymemories.com/">My Memories</a> digital scrapbooking software. I wasn't sure exactly how to use it, let alone install the software. I didn't have to worry at all. It was really intuitive. The download was simple and starting my first album was as simple as choosing an album design I liked. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB_l3wfBHmtA4xbS9XhggrACGWZfTZR8lcDeaZId8kQRgRkUTB5NNz8wPEGDvTB2HsQvPDmJOdSIb63s3lnCo5Fd-lZ24s3b0PenlzwolvxvVAUvOApl9aAI5TiTGGiibggdP9p2KI1t0/s1600/test-001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB_l3wfBHmtA4xbS9XhggrACGWZfTZR8lcDeaZId8kQRgRkUTB5NNz8wPEGDvTB2HsQvPDmJOdSIb63s3lnCo5Fd-lZ24s3b0PenlzwolvxvVAUvOApl9aAI5TiTGGiibggdP9p2KI1t0/s320/test-001.jpg" width="320" yda="true" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Being the minimalist that I am, I chose a simple layout to start with. I wanted to figure out how to upload, drag and drop and size the images. For me this was the easiest way to learn. You can watch youtube videos on how to use the software (see below). </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">If you are like me and are seriously behind on your family photo albums, you have to try digital scrapbooking. It is a great option. Fast, easy and fun! Plus, once you get started you will see how many ways you can customize your layouts.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I included this layout to show you how simple the software is to use. Areas are designated for journaling. Everything is pretty self explanitory. You can move the frames around and adjust the sizes on the premade templates, or you can build your own pages from scratch. There really are so many cool features to this software. Next up I am going to try out the feature that allows you to create a photo dvd with music.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I volunteered in Em's class this week. I read a book and provided this craft.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGUV2QBnY9qiE1LxOiiYk7jf5OWXSSK292ixNsFibU1hIVdaSia841AYeAfiUWbQFCQG0ao_AprEAb6KUARhZNZjZK6e9d2xkIKr7qVx_ImI54t-UXANfHjIHC62W1R58ahxtEVf3aOsU/s1600/001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" sda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGUV2QBnY9qiE1LxOiiYk7jf5OWXSSK292ixNsFibU1hIVdaSia841AYeAfiUWbQFCQG0ao_AprEAb6KUARhZNZjZK6e9d2xkIKr7qVx_ImI54t-UXANfHjIHC62W1R58ahxtEVf3aOsU/s320/001.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I started with 4 packages of bulletin board border paper in red, silver and gold. 2 packs were wide and 2 were thin. I was able to make 23 crowns with lots of paper left over.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBzDflf5rY6T7OyU7_zMeQo_fG40xYfxiqr9kvAT-fi6xKitJAazMLEOkw9__jLwVh09KFbrhCVG-eh6OpQQ_iPfFEOEiHWo0JuVEZUIi5fpveqyakjnbOyomkd8E1iwyAbo2DCu23SE0/s1600/003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" sda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBzDflf5rY6T7OyU7_zMeQo_fG40xYfxiqr9kvAT-fi6xKitJAazMLEOkw9__jLwVh09KFbrhCVG-eh6OpQQ_iPfFEOEiHWo0JuVEZUIi5fpveqyakjnbOyomkd8E1iwyAbo2DCu23SE0/s320/003.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Fold the thin border paper in half. Cut. This will be your dragon's body.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The top of the paper is already wavy. Mimic the wave on the body along the bottom. Notice the tail narrows. It was very quick to do. Don't worry about making them identical or perfect.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I stapled the body onto the premeasured (hold up to your child's head and wrap around their head allowing for overlap to accommodate kids with larger heads) wide border paper. Line up the end of the tail to the end of the wide paper and staple.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifxCJ7izOXwXR1MJz2blpgj6Y4k7G3O70AB_fh80tsLUBE_1JEwSua13iTlRzZUCu-X6RuaUWuiYdHJXXE1Id7w1XBnYd6HDMql4YSKGdOGg7UFVy6a_pZtlcE8-tS4IC14KTAsWSveDA/s1600/004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" sda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifxCJ7izOXwXR1MJz2blpgj6Y4k7G3O70AB_fh80tsLUBE_1JEwSua13iTlRzZUCu-X6RuaUWuiYdHJXXE1Id7w1XBnYd6HDMql4YSKGdOGg7UFVy6a_pZtlcE8-tS4IC14KTAsWSveDA/s320/004.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I used white coffee filters to give the dragon some flair. You can cut them to make them fancier or just fold them in half and glue them on. The head is made from the wider border paper scraps. Fold in half the long way. Cut out <span style="font-size: large;">8</span> shaped head adding as much or as little detail as you want. I glued all the heads onto the crowns since Em's preschool class was going to be making them. Older kids could do this step.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I also added curling ribbon for the whiskers.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Cut out and accordion fold strips for legs. Make sure you cut out extras. Several kids in Em's class glued on 8-10 legs on their dragons.</div><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Do you use Pinterest? </span><br />
<br />
I am still trying to figure it all out. I am behind the times and technically thick. My nearest and dearest are honestly amazed I even figured out how to create a blog. (There is a reason my blog layout is so simple!)<br />
<br />
I am trying to decide if I need to go back and place pin it buttons on old posts? If you use Pinterest can you please leave a comment and let me know if you prefer the pin it button on each post? Any advice is welcome. Thanks so much, Mama King<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This Christmas, Lulu's Grandma bought her an American Girl Doll. Needless to say, she has been obsessed with her doll Kanani. Just when life couldn't get any better for this 6 year old her Auntie in Hawaii sends her a "real Hawaiian" outfit. Those are her words. The icing on the cake...the outfit came with a doll hanger. This prompted the question, "Where am I going to hang her new dress?!" Followed by, "I need an American Girl Doll Closet."</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After I finished laughing in my head knowing there was no chance we would be buying a $$ AGD closet. I told her we could make one. So...I had to think quick. This is what I came up with on the fly. I used an old box but am thinking that we would eventually upgrade to a nice new white box and a dowel.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I used the inside heavy craft paper found at the end of some wrapping paper rolls. Trim the paper roll. Make sure the rod is longer than the width of the box. Wind the paper roll tightly to make it smaller in diameter and stronger.Tape in place (use packing tape) to make sure it doesn't unroll.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Next measure and cut openings on the sides of your box for the rod. I just made an * (like an X shape but with a few more cuts) with a kitchen knife and bent the tabs in. Thread your rod through the openings. Use rubber bands on either side to secure into place. Lu likes to use these side bits to hang her doll's beach bag and bathing suit from.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For Lulu's Girl Scout Daisy Investiture Ceremony I made a flower box with the GS Promise on the side. Each girl decorated a craft foam flower to "plant" in our troop garden. They "planted" the flower before they recieved their vests.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The stems were made from a bamboo skewer wrapped with green pipe cleaners. I added a foam leafe by unching the leaf onto the skewer then wrapping securely in place with the pipe cleaner.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The flowers were precut flower shapes bought from Michael's. I sandwiched the two together on the end of the skewer using hot glue to secure them in place. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We took photos of the girls with their vests on. I will add their pictures to the other side of the flowers using my circle punch.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It is so easy to add a little ooh la la to a holiday pencil! All you need is a pack of holiday pencils, a feather boa* from the craft or party store, a glue gun and some craft gems (optional.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*Make sure you use the fuzzier boa style not the long feather kind.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEfGrYEAOQmsvDjhM16G6KYlAeyiqLv8xsA9k6qJQnBiHrWTs2mT5mbIEdox-U_Xch5qnGPMqcuC-XzgXSY_BBGHyMXrM0B6XM0xGZoGo7ZLyrT0S5PPH_qsJmycR1b0EUrL0FKczZt64/s1600/040.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" nfa="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEfGrYEAOQmsvDjhM16G6KYlAeyiqLv8xsA9k6qJQnBiHrWTs2mT5mbIEdox-U_Xch5qnGPMqcuC-XzgXSY_BBGHyMXrM0B6XM0xGZoGo7ZLyrT0S5PPH_qsJmycR1b0EUrL0FKczZt64/s320/040.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Wrap the boa around your pencil 2x loosely - cut. This will be your measurement. Before you cut the whole boa up glue down using hot glue to see if you like the look. Adjust the measurement to your liking. I placed glue just under the metal eraser collar then took one end of the boa and held it down until secure. Next wrap the rest of the boa bit around 2x loosely - glue end in place.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I made 14 pencils with one boa.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This was a homework assignment for Lu. She had to count everyone in the families hands then trace their fingers on a page and number them. I thought it would be fun to take it a step further. I had Lu use watercolor paper. She traced every ones hands, overlapping each hand as she went along. I traced them with a Sharpie and Lu numbered them. Then I gave her some watercolors and let her paint them any way she wanted. I think it came out beautiful! What a great family "portrait." I am definitely framing this one! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">This would make a great gift for a Mom, Dad or Grandparent!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Tip: I highly recommend you use water color paper. Water color paper won't buckle as much and will hold up better. Also outlining the hands using a permanent marker will make sure the hands don't get lost under all the paint. You don't need to have your little one number each finger unless you want to reinforce counting.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">As many of you know, my eldest daughter, Lu, is allergic to milk and tree nuts. I have never attempted baking Spritz Cookies until this Christmas. I was so pleased the Fleischman's Unsalted Margarine worked as an excellent substitute for butter. I was worried it would either jam up the spritz gun and/or taste odd. Luckily they came out beautifully! Chilling the dough a bit helped. I used the America's Test Kitchen Recipe substituting 1 tbs. Soy Creamer for Cream and 2 sticks Fleischman's Unsalted Margarine for butter. I did one batch using vanilla extract and one with orange extract.

I cut an 8x10 blank Shrinky Dink page in half to make 2 ornaments. Have the kids write their must haves from their Santa list on the page, decorate, punch holes and bake. We used sparkly pipe cleaners to create the hanger. It will be fun to look back on these ornaments years from now. We may do this every year!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I am fortunate to have a Co-leader who is super organized and detail oriented. That leaves all the fun and craft planning to me! Our first meeting is this week. To reinforce learning the Girl Scout Pledge I created a coloring sheet for the girls. It is a great activity for the girls who finish the main activity quickly and for the girls who don't get to it can take it home to color. I know my blogging buddy Katie from Katie's Nesting Spot will appreciate this since she just signed on as a Co-leader for her daughter's Daisy Troop. So here you go all you Daisy Leaders out there!

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have been a bit obsessed with needle felting these last few weeks. I have been making 100% wool ornaments by repeatedly sticking a special needle into the wool. I begin by making the ball then I freehand the design onto the ball. There is something so relaxing and creative about the process. I am just a beginner so I would recommend checking out the web for instructions.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The wool roving for wet felting is available on line. The roving comes in an array of colors. You only need an ounce each of 3 or 4 colors to cover several bars. I just ordered some Ecosoft Roving from <a href="http://www.weirdollsandcrafts.com/">Weir Crafts</a> for $2.25 an ounce. There are many other options available on line.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Check out YouTube to get started. I haven't found one that uses my particular method. See the tips I have below.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Tips:</div><ul><li><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">When making felted soap with kids I suggest dipping the soap in the very warm water first. Then wrap the wool roving around the soap. This helps the roving stick better.</div></li>
<li><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Wrap in several layers of the roving until you cant see any soap peeking through.</div></li>
<li><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">I like to have the roving ready to go in small "sheets" so I can lay them out for my kids. They lay the wet soap on top of one "sheet" then wrap around the sides of the soap. Then we carefully pick up the soap and flip it over so the top of the soap is now face down on the next sheet. Continue until completely covered.</div></li>
<li><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Next, hold open a nylon stocking very wide and have your child carefully place inside. You can tie off the stocking or just wrap it around.</div></li>
<li><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Have your child dip the soap in very warm water.</div></li>
<li><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Begin rubbing very gently at first. You want to create a lather. As the soap starts to felt they can get more aggressive with the rubbing. </div></li>
</ul><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Good luck! It is a great handmade gift. When the soap is used up you are left with a wool pouch. I have heard it makes a nice pot scrubber. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
