Sticker Fun

Here is one of our favorite paper creative activities. I found some of these Melissa and Doug stickers.

And some of these.

They have them in boy blue also.

I let the girls pick out a 'scene' from the pink sticker collection. They have zoo animals, pets, unicorns, fairies, tea parties, etc. They create their scene with the stickers and then add some little girl stickers from the fashion set of stickers. They get to dress up the little girls and we love all the options. There are fancy dresses, fairy costumes, beach attire, pajamas and more.

They finish their papers with their colored pencils to fill in any other details. Here are a few examples.

Here's Big Sister's Ballet picture.

Here is Munchkin's tea party with a fairy godmother on the top.

A great gift idea and lots of fun to play with!

Our Favorite Kid Magazine

I wanted to share our favorite kid magazine. The High Five Magazine from Highlights is awesome for the younger crowd.

We received it as a gift for Christmas this past year and I'm going to be sure to renew our subscription.  The girls feel so grownup getting their own magazine.

I like the simple hidden pictures pages. They aren't so difficult to bamboozle my 3 year old but still enough fun for my 5 year old. Another great feature is their build it and make it articles.

The build it gives the kids ideas on what to use their blocks to build (like a post office, race track, or grocery store). The make it section gives a cute craft and a food item to make. Lots of fun and easy to do!
