Me and Mama artwork

Artful collaborations & quality time painting and creating with my little one. We utilized many different objects in our create box - rice, pine cones, toothpicks, sand, confetti, glitter, straws, and beads among other things. Anything goes.

Gingerbread Girls ... and boys

The little elves left out our gingerbread cookie cutters and our book with the gingerbread cookie recipe. Little A was only interested in making & decorating her gingerbread girls with sprinkles and lots of icing. Yum

Tomorrow, the elves will leave out a tiny candy cane and some pipe cleaners and beads to make candy cane ornaments.

Making paper snowflakes

The little elves left some paper and scissors in my little one's Advent cone for making paper snowflakes. My little one could not have had more fun this evening. She was so amazed that when she carefully unfolded the paper, a beautiful snowflake was revealed. She was so proud of herself and kept asking to make more. We hung them on our decorated archway "so everyone who comes in our house could see them." 

It's wonderful to decorate the house with our family creations.
