So my favorite thing to do is spend time with my angels. We like to do crafts, bake, and go to the movies. I love to get to spend as much time as I can with them. So I wanted to share some yummy recipes, fun crafts, and must see movies.
First I have 2 super yummy easy recipes for you. They are easy and any child 2 and up can make them.
***Peanut Butter and Jelly Sushi Rolls***
(No fish needed unless it's goldfish)
2 tablespoons Creamy Peanut Butter
2 tablespoons Jelly, Jam, or Preserves (pick your favorite)
2 slices bread
Directions
Remove crusts from bread. With a rolling pin or large soup can, completely flatten bread.
Spread 1 tablespoon of peanut butter and 1 tablespoon of fruit spread on each slice of bread.
Roll each slice into a tight spiral. Cut each spiral into 4 pieces.
My girls love making this for lunch!
***Munchie Necklaces***
(perfect on the go snack)
String, yarn, or rope
Pretzels
Fruit Loops
Regular or Honey-Nut Cheerios
Lifesaver Gummies
(You can use any snack with a hole in the middle but think of how messy they are because it is a necklace)
This is the fun part. Cut the string to a length that can go around your kids neck. Let them string the snacks on the string/yarn/rope and tie the ends together. You now have a fast easy on the go snack that isn't messy.
Next is 2 crafts for kids of any age. These are fun and wont break the bank! The first is in honor of all the snow we have had.
***Snow Paint***
Food Coloring
Water
Spray Bottles
Remove the tops of the spray bottles and fill them with water. Then, add enough dye to get the color you want. I used a pretty good amount of dye to make the color vibrant and bright! Screw the lid back on the bottle, and give it a good shake. Then outside you go to decorate your yard!
Alternative way is to put snow in a 9 by 13 cake pan and let them use paint brushes like watercolor painting.
***Windsocks***
Construction Paper or Crayons/Markets
Streamers (or ribbon. As many colors as you want)
A Toilet Paper Roll or cardboard Oatmeal Can
Yarn
Tape or Glue
Scissors
Ruler
Either wrap construction paper around your tube or color it with your Crayons/Markers. Let an adult put two holes at the top of the tube. Lace the yarn through the holes and tie it. This is how you hang it up. Then take your streamers/ribbon and cut them into even strips. You can then cut them length wise to make them skinny or leave them wide. Glue the strips on the inside bottom of the tube and let dry. Then hand then for all to see! (For younger kids I would have everything cut and prepped due to short attention span)
And last but not least movies! Whether you go to the theater or stay on your cozy couch here are some must see movies.
1.
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2
2. Frozen- theater (good for boys and girl)
3. Turbo

I hope these fun crafts, yummy recipes, and awesome movies help you plan a super fun day with your kids. Also if you have something fun comment and let me know. I am always looking for new things to do with my girls!
