Valentine's day Teacher's Door

Valentine's Day

Valentine's day is one of the best party in school. A day of love floating all around us. It has no age bar. I enjoyed this year's Valentine's day party. Our teacher specifically ask for Valentine's day door decor and there was nothing else which can make me happy. 

Here is what I came up with

It has been written that I am 20 times more loved because she has 20 kids in her classroom. I apologized for not taking a neat picture and final version as well. I gave the kids 2 paper hearts each to decorate and all those hearts has been glued on the top left corner. All those student decorated hearts has been falling in the umbrella. It was super awesome to make the teacher happy. 

Enjoy!!!

Lego Birthday Party!!!

My little munchkin is 6 years old (Young :)) this October and obviously this kid is crazy about Lego. When It came to party , he asked me about Lego Party.
It was quick party. We book the venue for all his classmates. So everything was kind of taken care of already. But I wanted to give a little personal touch and do little something for him.
So  I decided to make little goodie bags with Lego Theme.
Here are how they turned in

I started  with very basic colors Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow.I got plain bags from Party City. Then I punched out circles of same color construction paper and stick them with double side tape. 

I filled them up with Lego star wars reading skill books and chocolates. 

I saw this idea here http://www.pinterest.com/pin/243405554830480382/

Here is my 6 year old. 

Crazy Hair Day!!

My little one started school this year and we have been going through so many fun projects. As I am planning to share all the project posts with you, so far I am successful to share only one which is "Themed Door Decoration". I will eventually share all of them. Right now ...:) :)
My son has Crazy hair day at school. Initially , he wasn't much up for it  because I think he didn't know what it means.
I think before the kids get to know anything about being shy and get an idea of "people are looking at me, this is weird or people will make fun of me" kind of things , we should enjoy and let them have a chance to not get into that feeling is best. So getting back to story, I presented him few ideas that we can do this and that and that and ....
"We are going to color my hairs???" that was first surprised, shocked and excitement he showed and I picked up from there. So I let him know how excited it is to get colored and everything. Then he came up with theme of Jurassic park...yup you heard right. He has a game of dinosaurs where he has small plastic dinosaurs and few little men figures with binoculars and few road name poles.
The night before the actual hair day , I hot glued the dinosaurs and a man and a one road name pole to the clips.
Then we color his hair with fun Green grass color hair spray  and  clipped all the dinosaurs, name poles and men figures to the hair.
After putting clips on I sprayed the green color once more to hid the clips.
Here is the final product :) :) :)

 He has been called on stage for best hairs in the school for the day and of course he was so super excited about it.
So we are making a new "Idea Book" for next year , with lots of ideas flowing by for lots of other fun days.
ciao!!!

Spring Time!!

My stairs wall was completely empty and it wasn't giving me any good dream knowing that I have to do something to put on that wall. Initially I just wanted to color it ( no white walls please !!!) but it wasn't working out well with an infant at home.

So I came up with these. A simple square design which add up little color, little craftiness and beautiful wall.

It's pretty simple but classy look. Here is what I started with :

4-12*12 Canvas- bought from Michael's on Sale 

Card-stock Paper - 2 of each color , I used little Red but little Orange hint and Brown.

Color markers

Glue 

Flower punch

Start with canvas and Card stock paper. For me , since the canvas was 12*12 the card stock paper fits on it  exactly. Glue the card stock paper on canvas and keep it aside. Now, I thought on brown or orange, yellow flowers will be good contrast. So,I used flower punch and punched out few flowers out of construction paper.

I have two different flower punches so I used two different flower designs on both of the canvases. Now glue the paper flowers on the canvas of each color. 2 slides are ready. 

Then get another card stock paper and write the message. I wanted to do this for spring so I wrote "Happy" and "Spring". Glue it on remaining canvases.

I had few crystal flower left from  last project , which are of perfect color combination so glued it at the corner of each canvas with letters.

Then simply add wall hanging tape at the back of the canvas and push it on the wall . 

I did this project 2 months ago and still the canvases are holding up.

Teacher's Appreciation Week

So as we were trying to get into schedule after the wonderful holidays it's time to get ready for Teacher's Appreciation Week. As everybody aware of this tradition. 28th Jan - 1st Feb is Teacher's Appreciation Week. In our school, there is theme which whole elementary school have to follow and Decorate a class door with this particular theme. "Survivor" is the theme which has been given by the school. Now I am pretty new to this elementary school. This is the first year my child started PEPP program (pre Kindergarten)in the school. I am in charge of this whole door decoration as per theme thing. :) :) I thought it will be fun and started to think about the theme. Since Pre-K kids wouldn't understand eating bugs or surviving through any obstacles concept , I thought of putting things together to show a tropical island would be nice. This way the theme can very well explained because all the "survivor" episodes(yup "Survivor" TV show) has been shoot in some kind of island and also children would know what is on the door, they can enjoy it. Here is the result:

Our Teacher like the door and it surely paid all the hardwork :) :) Thank you to all the ladies ( other moms) who helped me put this together. Thank you teacher!!!!
