Dinner Balls.

Look! I inadvertently made a dinner where each food was in the shape of a ball! Couscous, peas and meatballs.

Shamrock Light Catcher.


Look at how cool this turned out! My 5 yo daughter and I made a bunch of these Shamrock Light Catchers. We kind of made it up as we went along: First, I grated different shades of green crayons with a cheese grater. Then my daughter used a hole puncher to get a bunch of tiny green circles. We spread out a piece of wax paper, and she sprinkled on the crayon bits with the tiny circles and added some glitter glue too. I put another piece of wax paper on top and with a low heat iron setting, ironed/melted it all together. After it cooled, she traced and cut out shamrock shapes, punched a hole in the tops and stung a ribbon through to hang them. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
