while shopping at the whaler’s village in maui,
i discovered the most adorable shop, ‘cinnamon girl.’
i found the most charming things to bring home to my girls.
but, what caught my eye for future family arts & craft time
were ‘the little experience’ kits.
.....
my girls both came home with treats from their seperate activity days today.
myla made these cute fruit-snowmen, using kabob sticks + bananas, chocolate chips, pretzel sticks, a slice of carrot, apples, and blueberries…
kiana’s group made white-chocolate covered pretzels as a valentine’s treat. i forced myself to only have two, they were really good!
{trying very hard to be healthy & not eat sugar.}
.....
check out sublime stitching; stitchable stationary here.
i am LOVING this company. creative geniuses, i tell you.
the activity day girls, they kinda liked it too!

an even more affordable alternative –
card board sewing, idea from here.
“Just cut out simple shapes from cardboard and punch holes in it. (In and of itself a fun activity.) Wrap tape around a piece of yarn or ribbon to make it easier to thread and ta-da! Toddler sewing. ”
have sew much fun!!!

thank you, thank you, thank you
to everyone who came and supported the rhodes ballerinas…
i took the activity day girls for an activity to see the ballet and they were a darling cheering section for myla.

this week the girls made their own kaleidoscopes. they had a really good time putting them together. A few months ago, I lucked out and found these little kits at 1/2 price because the store I was shopping at {due to the economy} was going out of business. The pictures below don’t do them justice, these kits are adorable! If you are interested, the best price I found online is here.
“seeing stars: build your own kaleidoscope kit.”
