Today you can find me over on my friend Steph’s blog: A Grande Life. I’m showing you how to
make cute Coffee Filter Butterflies with your little ones!
Thanks to Steph, for letting me part of her awesome blog!
With Mother’s Day right around the corner (uh.. this weekend actually, better hurry and figure out what you’re doing!) I thought I would pull together some cute mother’s day toddler craft projects. Although, they may not be able to do any of these by themselves, and just maybe Dad isn’t too into crafts either – they would still all be fun projects to do with your child while spending the day together this Mother’s Day!
While searching Pinterest (of course!) the theme is very obvious for Mother’s Day — FLOWERS.
How about a cute and easy Pipe Cleaner Bouquet? Every little kid loves to play with them!
Try our handprint flower bouquet we sent to Lennox’s great grandma!
I love these painted mother’s day flower pots – Super easy and cheap and they can actually be put to good use around the house or on a porch!
Based on Picasso’s Hands with Bouquet, try this alternative to flowers!
Shannon over at Baby Shmizz made this cute Handprint Bouquet
Send a hug! Check out this easy mother’s day craft on Never a Dull Moment!
A hand decorated tote bag is always cute. Use a reusable tote bag you already have around the home and let your child decorate it for you!
If you just aren’t that crafty and want a pretty mother’s day printable to frame, try this one that Sweet Stella’s is sharing today!
And for the little bit older children, this is a super cute idea – I remember doing something just like this when I was in grade school for my mom (but it was a Time magazine cover!)
Mom’s Gazette World’s Best Mom
I hope everyone has a fabulous mother’s day either with their children or with their own mother!

Hey guys, I’m Amber. I wanna say thanks real quick to Heather for letting me be a blog hog for the day, so thanks!! I’m a mom of three all under the age of 4. Basically my life gets pretty crazy sometimes. (Like daily!, like 43076029438 times a day)
So today I thought I’d show you a few things I do to entertain my crazies.
Sometimes we go to the park!
Sometimes we play in the snow!
Sometimes we see colorful poodles. (Weird, right?!)
Sometimes we make monsters. (Glue, fluff balls, crazy eyes and construction paper)
But today I thought I’d show you how to make some playdough! So here we go:
You’ll need:
Go on and mix up your dry ingredients.
Then add the oil and water.
Cook over medium heat until mixture forms a ball.
Then dump onto counter or wax paper and knead, knead, knead the kool-aid into it.
Then watch little hands play.

And sometimes your kid will be so grateful that he’ll make you a playdough heart and melt your heart!
Thanks so much for reading. Feel free to come visit me over on my blog! And again, thanks so much Heather for letting me be a blog hog. (saying that just makes me giggle)
