I was doing my morning blog surfing & came across this website. It is called Busy Bee Kids Crafts & they have some really cute ideas to do with your munchkins. I love the daffodils.

Muffin Tin Monday

Today we did our first Muffin Tin Monday. Over the weekend, I took the boys to the store & let them pick out their muffin tins. Kaden has been asking for the last 3 days if it is Monday yet. He has been so excited! The theme for today was Easter/Spring. I found a few really cute ideas from family fun. They LOVED everything & ate it all. This will be a weekly thing for us now! Here is the website that does the Muffin Tin Mondays.

Egg Animals

How cute are these? The directions are on family fun in the Easter Egg Menagerie section. I love the pipe cleaner egg stands.

Handprint bunnies

I found this today from a fun blog called just for fun. She is one of the "Muffin Tin Monday" ladies. The boys loved it!

First you paint your little one's hand with white paint. You only paint the palm, the ring finger, & the index finger. Then have them put their hand on the paper.


Then they stick their thumb in pink paint & put it on the bunny for the nose.


After the nose, then they draw some eyes, a mouth, & some whiskers.

The finished product. Kaden had me retake his original picture because he wanted to stick his tongue out. Aunt Amy, if you are reading this...the boys both want to send their bunnies to you for your birthday...so we are mailing them out with your cute cards they made!

Muffin Tin Monday

I ran across this blog
today & it had the cutest idea. I think meals (especially lunch) can get boring, but there is a group of moms that does "Muffin Tin Monday". They do themes...colors, holidays, shapes, etc. (The picture below is rainbow) I will be out getting some silicon muffin tins this weekend so that we can start "Muffin Tin Monday".

Here are the themes that are listed on the sidebar of her blog:

04.06.09: Easter/Spring
04.13.09: No Theme
04.20.09: MTM goes AWOL! (Take your tin to another location..park, bedroom, friend's house, etc.)
04.27.09: Under the Sea (Ocean, Sea Life, etc.)

**Check out her blog & the other people who do Muffin Tin Monday. They have some to the cutest ideas to do with your kids. Tonight we will be making hand print bunnies.

Jell-O Juice

This is an AWESOME joke!! I made the Jell-O this morning & poured it into the cups. I hid the cups in the back of the fridge so that little eyes wouldn't see. When lunch time came around, I served them the Jell-O juice. It took a while for them to take a drink, but when they did it was so funny!! They just kept trying to get the juice out & couldn't figure out what was happening. When I said "April Fools" & told them that it was Jell-O..we had a really good laugh together. I recommend this one!

Magic Milk

This morning I did the Magic Milk Prank from Family Fun. They LOVED it. Kaden even joked that our milk was turning blue when he got the milk out of the fridge, but it was really going to happen soon.
