Princess Craft

While we were at the BX the other day, Steven and I were looking for small stickers for the girls' sticker charts. We didn't see any one small enough in the sticker section, so we went to the book section. Sometimes they will have sticker books there so we were hoping they'd have some. Unfortunately no stickers could be found, but we did find some Disney and American Girl magazines. They are pretty good so far. They have lots of craft ideas and in the Disney ones they even have learning activities and stories. In the Disney Princess magazine they had an idea for a necklace and it was pretty simple so I figured I would let the girls make one when Daddy was sleeping to distract them from trying to wake him up. All you have to do to make them is cut out two crown shapes out of construction paper or card stock. Then glue the two shapes together to make them thicker, punch out a whole for the string, and decorate. After the decorating is down, thread a piece of string or yarn through the whole, and voila!  The girls had fun and I am thinking that I could get some scrapbook paper and embellishments for next time. Maybe even try different shapes. I am trying to find more craft ideas so that we can hang the girls artwork and crafts all over the living room. They are pretty creative and they love displaying their creations for everyone (especially Daddy) to see.
And Ruby just played happily on the floor :)
