Children’s Art onto Tea Towel

All you need are thin flour sack towels, copy of childrens art, a fine point sharpie, and a couple of pins to hold art to back of towel. Trace over the artwork onto the towel with Sharpie. Makes a darling gift for a grandparent, or from preschool students to parents. Idea via

 

Tracing Hint: If you are having trouble seeing through the towel – use painters or masking tape to tape onto a bright window. the sun shining through will help you trace!

Chocolate Covered, Nutella Filled Strawberries

Clean and dry strawberries. Melt your favorite chocolate recipe. Dip bottom of strawberries. Let set. Pluck stems and center out, clean with knife. Spoon nutella into hole. Dip top into chocolate let set. Hide them away before anyone else sees what you’ve made and eat them all by yourself– Yum!

Momma and Me Notebook

Grab a notebook, decorate if desired. Write questions, thoughts, requests, notes, etc… slip under pillow back and forth between you and your child. Great for little ones comfortable with writing and reading. Even better for pre-teens that have embarrassing questions!

UPDATE: See comments: Teachers – use this for idea and call it a “Dialogue Journal”. Thanks Pillowsalamode
