Aren’t these darling. I can’t wait to make them with my 8 year old granddaughter when we have our special sleepover. They would also be fun to make at a birthday party. Thanks to Hope at Going Sew Crazy for letting me share her idea. She has detailed directions so they’re easy to make.

This is a fun and decorative way to serve fruit at a party or picnic. WATCH VIDEO for directions.

This could be a fun activity for a summer project, family reunion or birthday party.

This would be a great Mother’s Day gift, teacher gift , or a “thank you” to someone special. Just trace & cut-out your handprint, write a short note them glue or tape around a tube of lotion.

I’m featuring my friend Martha today. She had a fun “Tea Party” with her 2 granddaughters. She did it for Valentine’s Day but you could do it anytime during the year.
Thanks Martha for sharing your great ideas.

I hadn’t seen my two granddaughters for over a month, so I decided to “make an appointment” with my son to have him drop them off on the Saturday before Valentine’s Day for a Valentine Tea Party with Grandma. I recruited my youngest daughter to come and help “entertain” my 20 month old granddaughter, when she lost interest in making cookies, which was about 10 minutes! My older granddaughter stuck to it, however, and did a great job of decorating all her cookies. While they were in the oven, we made heart crowns and colored Valentine pictures for Mom and Dad. For lunch, we used our cookie cutters, and made heart shaped sandwiches.
We had a great time, and I got some cute pictures of “grandma’s darlings” to put in my scrapbook. Every time I see them, they put a smile on my face as I remember our fun Valentine Tea Party. I think I’ll make it a tradition!

This would be a fun game to play with a lot of kids or just a few. You can do it in your home, backyard, a park or anywhere there are places to hide.
To Play Sardines:
The person who is “it” hides while everyone else counts to 30. Each player then tries to find the person who is “it” and quietly hides with that person. The last person to find everyone must be “it” in the next game.
