Turkey Cookie Display

M had to bring cookies for thanksgiving feast for preschool. Well 12 little cookies looked weak on a paper plate. A little scrap paper and hot glue!

DIY Chalkboard Vinyl

I clothes pinned a sheet of good old contact paper to a piece of cardboard because this stuff rolls. Next I sprayed it with black chalkboard spray paint, two coats. Then I cut it decoratively and stuck it on.

Toddler Snow Day Activity

We were home sick from preschool and got a big snow. Because my son was sick he couldn’t go out and build a snowman. We made this instead.

The hat and scarf is a sick and we used beads and buttons fro decorations. We drew a ruler on the side to measure how much snow we got.

Newborn winter nightgown

This is any easy project, I sewed this one in 30min, pausing to take photos for this tutorial.

Materials:
A 15in x 18in piece of flannel (for a newborn -3 month size, you may need a little more for larger sizes)
A little extra for the bow tie if you choose
A long sleeve onesie
Thread
13in of 1/4 elastic

Step 1:
Fold your fabric in half, making it 9in x 15in. Lay your onesie on top and cut out a skirt of fabric. Leave 1/4in on each side where the skirt will match up with the onesie.

Step 2:
Turn your skirt inside out and stitch up both sides.

Step 3:
Cut your onesie in half. Just under the armpits. Be sure to leave 1/4 in to sew the skirt and onesie together.

Step 4:
Slide your onesie inside the inside out skirt with the neck facing down. Pin and sew.

Step 5:
Turn the bottom edge of the skirt over making a casing. Pull your elastic through and close your casing.

Step 6: optional
Turn right side out and add a bow tie. This was for a little boy so I wanted it to look manly. You could add buttons or leave it plain too.
