Year Of The Dog

Our town is having a parade to celebrate Chinese New Year! I thought it would be fun to make something to wave while we watch the parade, and I came up with this easy dog maraca!

We just made it out of 2 bowls, with a paper towel roll for a handle and pasta inside to shake and make noise. 

 I let Jude paint the pieces and then I assembled it with a hot glue gun. He ate his lunch in his high chair and watched me put it together. I thought it was important for him to see it go together so that he understood better that we made it. He was very excited with the finished product and had to show his dad when he came home!

Can't wait to take him to the parade! Happy New Year!!!

Christmas Red Truck Footprint Craft

Just wanted to share the Christmas footprint craft I made with Jude. Our holiday card photos were taken in a red truck so I thought this twist on the Christmas tree footprint was perfect!
