Celebrate First Day of Spring The Very Hungry Caterpillar Day #kidcrafts #funforkids

this is an up-dated re-post

The Very Hungry Caterpillar Day, March 20th, is a celebration of this beloved character and story as well as the first day of spring.

This year it is the 50th Anniversary of the beloved book!

Here are a few crafts I've done (or will do) that were inspired by The Very Hungry Caterpillar. The character and all the yummy food in the book.

Caterpillar to Butterfly Craft

Supplies:

Clothespin
Pom poms
Glue
Small wiggly eyes/beads
Coffee filter
Markers
Toilet paper tube
Streamer
Tape

1) Glue pom poms onto a clothespin to make a caterpillar

2) Glue on eyes...I had to add a small piece of paper to attach the eyes to the top of the clothespin

3) Use markers or watercolor paints to color a coffee filter

4) Slide colored filter into the pin

POOF

Paint Blot Butterfly

The is a very fun craft and turns out differently every time

You need

white paper

paint&brushes

black marker

First step is to fold the paper in half and draw a butterfly body-you can leave the middle blank if you want to add pipe cleaners as the body later.

next let your lil one go to town on one side of the body with paints

the last step is to fold the paper again and let the paint make the same pattern on the other side

REPEAT

Soon you have a whole cluster of butterflies all around

A delicious-looking ice cream cone that won't melt all over this ideal is from Parents.com

This one is going on the make it list!!!!

you will need brown card-stock,tissue paper, colorful paper, red button, brad, hemp string.

Make It: Roll textured brown card-stock into a cone shape and secure with a brown brad.
Crumble a piece of tissue paper into a ball, and help your child tape strips of colorful patterned paper around it. Attach to the cone.
Use red buttons and thread on top with little hemp string for a perfect cherry topper.

Paper Watermelon shared by The Chirping Moms

You will need white paper, pink or red paper, green paper, black paper, glue and scissors.

This is a very simple craft, but it entertains for a while because of the time to rip/cut up all of the paper pieces first.

Have the child get larger pieces of green and pink/red paper. Then have them rip up the black paper in smaller pieces for making little seeds

On the white paper, have them draw the shape of a watermelon. Have them arrange the ripped pieces of green and pink paper inside the slice to form a watermelon and glue. Then glue the black pieces on top as seeds.

OK you have some ideals & there are many more on my pinterest boards.

Ready SET CELEBRATE!!!

L'Oreal Paris Mascara ` #Review @ BzzCampaign

Ready to hack your way to longer lashes? Inspired by the makeup artist hack of bending the mascara wand for added control and ease of application, NEW L’Oreal Paris Unlimited Mascara’s unique two-position wand can be used two ways: Straight to stretch and lengthen, and Bent to lift and intensify hard-to-reach inner, corner and smaller bottom lashes

Definitely see a lift!
CHECK OUT THAT BEFORE & AFTER!
REALLY GIVE THE EYES A POP!!

Some clumping on lash
wand is EZ to use that bend really makes getting all the
way to the corners of the eye simple.

That 24 hour lift time was put to the test all through school
& soccer after. It stayed on all day and was very easy to remove.

Check them out for yourself - look for the cool
display at Walgreens!

Great DIY Toilet Cleaning Hack.

How often do you open up the water tank
of your toilet? Not often I bet.

But if you take a look at the depths....it's a breeding
ground for hard water stains, mold,
mildew and bacteria.

NASTY!!

So now when I start my DEEP toilet cleaning
venture, I start with the water tank to help keep
my toilet bowl cleaner
between uses. Pour 1 cup of vinegar into the
tank. Allow to sit while you clean.
Then flush 2-3 times to rinse out the tank.
**You definitely do not want to leave vinegar in your
tank for a long period of time. It will start eroding
your metal components.

This EASY DIY Lemon Rosemary Toilet Cleaner really
works.

Only 4 ingredients too.
For the bowl -

Vinegar
Baking Soda
Essential oil - Rosemary
Essential oil -Lemon

Mix ½to 1 cup of baking soda with 1 cup of vinegar
plus a few drops of each oil into the toilet bowl then
scrub with your toilet brush.

Spotless & smells pretty fantastic too.

Having a routine cleaning schedule for the toilet
tank can help keep your bathroom fresh and your
toilet in working order. Cleaning the tank at
least twice a year will dramatically reduce the
buildup of debris and stop the production
of mold.
