Hand Christmas tree craft

Ben has really been stuck on "tees" after the craft we did Sunday and then getting our Christmas tree so we decided to try another one.  Not only was it a tree, but we had to trace his hands also, so he thoroughly enjoyed it.

What you'll need:
construction paper
scissors
glue
crayons



















1.  Trace your little ones hands on green paper.


















2.  Cut out the hand prints (you'll need about 12 of them) and a good sized triangle.
























3.  While I was cutting the hand prints, I had Ben color some other colored sheets of paper.




















4.  Glue the hand prints to the triangle.  (This might have been Ben's favorite part.)




















































5.  I cut out circles from the paper he had colored for ornaments, a star for the top, and a brown rectangle for the bottom.


















6.  Glue all the extra pieces/decorations on and you're done.


















He was so proud of it that when Shawn came home, he met him at the top of the stairs, pointing at the fridge and yelling "TEE!  TEE!"  As a matter of fact, he was so happy about it, he talked about it in his sleep multiple times, last night.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

Happy Homemaker Monday

   As I look outside my window::: So far today, it is cold and gloomy! Right now I am:::  Sitting on the couch under my crocheted afghan. Thinking and pondering::: On Thanksgiving!  What to fix.  I think I'm getting carried away, but I love it.  On my bedside table::: I haven't been doing much reading lately and I should. Duck Commander Family by Willie and Korie Robertson Frozen by Sarah Nathan and Sela Roman On my tv tonight::: American Horror Story Some Doctor Who specials Playing on the radio::: I don't have anything playing right now, but I'm obsessed with James Blunt's new song, Bonfire Heart. The video is amazing too.  I love the story behind the video.  The people in it are NOT actors.  The wedding scene towards the end, he actually crashed a wedding and captured the bride and grooms first dance.  Amazing.  And, not only is his voice and music wonderful, he's a total hottie. On the menu for ...

Blogmas 2014 - Day 13 How Are You Counting Down To Christmas

Ok, honestly....  I'm not.  I have this gorgeous advent calendar that is 3 building with little numbered doors all over them.  I haven't gotten it out for lack of space and really small children.  Maybe next year.  Also, Ben has been all over the lego ones and stuff so I figure, I'll pick up some next year or as I see them now this year, so each kid can have their own next year.  I don't know maybe I'll just make them if I'm feeling crafty and find the time.  It actually hit us all at once on Saturday that Christmas was less than 2 weeks away.
