Angry birds Easter eggs – DIY

Posted on April 15, 2017 | Leave a comment

Following my last few posts, i am sure you were expecting angry birds Easter eggs. And yes it is. If your kids are fan of angry birds too, it’s a very easy to do. Kids can do it all from A to Z.

Color your eggs in red for red, black for bomb, green for pigs, yellow for chuck and blue for jay , jake and jim. Click here to download a printable sheet of angry birds faces to cut out and paste on the eggs after the colors are completely dry. It’s A3 size paper, and you can adjust it since it’s a vector one.

After the eggs are ready, get a white sheet serving as a table cloth, draw sun and clouds, lay a tree branch and build your nest to put the eggs inside. The nest is a ready made wreath i bought form a shop that sells tools for gardening.

You can also add gadgets of angry birds if you have them among your kids toys, like TNT boxes, catapult….

All i can say Nady and Joud are extremely happy to have the eggs they wished for. Happy Easter to all of you المسيح قام حقاً قام

Fun straw painting

Posted on May 18, 2016 | Leave a comment

Blow the paint with a straw to make spiky hair! Super fun art, doesn’t require brush skills but a straw and lots of enjoyment. It’s an activity that involves humor, your kids will love blowing spiky hair on their own head (image).

All you need is watercolors, straw and a picture of your kid’s face. Drop small amounts of watered paint and let your kid enjoy blowing it into different directions.

The more they blow the longer the line is. Turn the paper in all directions so the hair looks crazy. Use all the colors you have for a beautiful outcome.

There is no time or end for this activity, the more they blow colors the bigger the hair is. Leave them the freedom to choose when to stop. It was really a fun play, there was lots of laughs and giggles. Nady really enjoyed it and loved how his hair looked at the end.

Magazine flowers & food jar vase – recycling craft

Posted on April 25, 2016 | 2 comments

Like i said before, the earlier you teach good habits to your children, the easier they are incorporated into daily life and routine. Recycling crafts became our routine, Nady is getting more and more aware about waste and more than that he is concerned about preserving natural resources.

For instance, he turns off the water while brushing his teeth because this is a waste for water “c’est du gaspillage maman!”(gaspillage=waste). I can’t but be proud of you Nady ❤

Today we are recycling food jars into a vase and magazine papers into flowers.

First start by peeling off the packaging paper, spray it with white so your little ones can paint later with acrylic colors after completely dry. Better leave it for overnight.

Frogs Easter eggs – DIY

Posted on March 26, 2016 | 2 comments

This year is Joud’s first Easter. There was no way not to make for him exclusive eggs, cute just like him; frogs Easter eggs!

Start by coloring the hard boiled eggs with green color. If you have different shades of colors it will be perfect to make it more realistic, or simply leave some eggs in the dye for longer and shorter time to get different hues of green.

After the eggs are well dry, stick the frog’s cutout face, that you can download it if you click on frogs file.

To make it look realistic, put them on a glass tray with some pebbles, an artificial lily to look as if they are floating in a lake.

Aren’t cute and so real? i am in love with them and Joud is as well 🙂

He was so attracted to the colors, he even tasted them 🙂

Happy Easter to all المسيح قام حقاً قام

Wish you all happy holidays and lots of new beginnings and blessings and of course children. They make you look at the celebrations from a new perspective and give Easter a boost of joy.

Posted on March 26, 2016 | 2 comments

We’ve been talking about the superheroes eggs since last week, non stop! Nady can’t wait to decorate them. The excitement is invading his heart, so thrilled and happy, he is up today at 6:00 am and ready to start coloring the eggs.

We can’t be late to start, he is jumping up and down uncontrollably, it’s one of the Easters i will never forget! The house is full of children joy, we are blessed!

We started to color the hard boiled eggs with red, blue, yellow, purple and we left some white. After they are dry and ready to work with, we cut out the shapes we want to stick on each egg. Batman on yellow eggs, superman on blue, red and yellow, hulk on green and purple, captain america on white and blue and finally spiderman on red.

Nady is enjoying so much coloring,cutting and pasting. I was proudly watching him doing things by himself and asking me not to interfere because he is a big boy now. Can’t express my feelings, i am overwhelmed!

Can you imagine how happy Nady is? I am even more happy to see him that over excited. Give your children this pleasure if they are fan of superheroes, and don’t hesitate to decorate your Easter eggs if you didn’t start yet.

Now we are totally living in superheroes world at home.

Happy Easter to all المسيح قام حقاً قام
