Good morning, Lovely! It's Day 14 of our 21-Day Christmas Craft Blitz!

Today's craft is easy, easy, easy, and it's fun for all ages of kids.

Grab some aluminum foil and some Sharpies so the kids can make these these vibrant, iridescent "Christmas balls" to hang on the Christmas tree.

TIP: If you don't have CD's, cut circles out of cardboard!

Lots of sensory fun here with the slick feeling of Sharpies on foil, and scrunching and crunching the foil.

Valentines Art with Sharpies and Tin Foil

Jackie Currie — Wed, 08 Feb 2017 14:08:07 +0000

Hey Lovely,

I know the feeling. Your kids want to craft but you don't want to get all the craft stuff out, and be left with a big mess.

It's probably one of the reasons for saying "no" when they ask to craft, right?

I get it. We moms are busy, and there are enough messes to clean up in a day, never mind the chaos that can come along with craft time.

Well, how would you feel if I told you your kids could have a ton of fun crafting today with about a minute of prep and virtually no clean up.

Got tin foil? Got Sharpies? Great. You're all set for your kids to make some cool Valentines art.

It's slick and shimmery, and the process is really fun.

It's also kind of addictive, so it may just keep the troops entertained for a while.

A win for the kids and a win for you!

Click on the link below, and you'll be on your way to a mess-free, super-cool craft session today!

Guess what! We've made another awesome Fall craft!

I know, I know. Yesterday, I said our gorgeous leaf sun catcher would be our last Fall craft for the season, and that we were ready to shift into Christmas craft mode.

Well, sadly, my crafty brain doesn't switch gears quite as quickly as I'd like it to, and I still have Fall on my mind.

Check out this shimmering, vibrant Fall leaf mobile! It was super-easy to make, using things we already had in and around the house.

Kids of all ages will love it because the process is really creative and fun!
