Fun for the Kids!
This super simple wrapping craft is easy for the kids and easy for you! Set up is simple as you only need to make a few cut-outs for each child and they can wrap and decorate their llama themselves! i have found this craft to be best for my three year old and my five year old to do together. Sometimes the age difference makes it difficult to do things together, but this craft kept their attention and kept them entertained together for a while. You can also change the cut out to better fit your child's interest.
You can find the kit shown on amazon at this link: www.amazon.com for $19.53 and free shipping if you are an Amazon Prime member!
Or, if you are feeling Crafty my Mamma Llamas, you can easily cut your own cardboard cutouts for the little ones and save that $ for the weekend!

3 Ingredient Puffy Sidewalk Chalk! Super Easy!
This puffy sidewalk chalk is fun to make with the kids and also keeps them entertained for a while after you are done making it! To make this you will need:
1.Shaving Cream
2. Food coloring
3. Flour
4. Water
5. Squirt bottles
6. Gallon Freezer bags
I know its called 3 ingredient puffy sidewalk chalk but you actually need all six things mentioned above to make it. It is totally worth watching the kids try to paint with the squirt bottles instead of just draw with the sidewalk chalk! Be sure to rinse any paintings off your driveway though as the food coloring may stain if left on for too long! Check out the website hip2save.com for more information!
