TCT #1 - Fuzzy Chick Magnet (and a freebie if you are quick)

TCT? Yeppers! Another one of my days of the week themes that I am going to try! Toddler Craft Tuesday! I have a busy busy busy little man who is getting into trouble more often than not! So I am going to try to do more crafts with him and hopefully share my ideas here on my blog!

This idea was found here at Fisher Price although I tweaked it to fit what I had on hand!

First I cut out the chicks using my cricut at 5.5 inches, I used the Animal Kingdom cartridge. Using the shadow feature makes it easier for the little guy to not break the chickies legs off!  I cut up the yarn in advance while he was in bed although I quickly realized how good he is with scissors this week and next time I will have him cut the yarn himself! 

 The next day during one of our "Mommy and Mikey" times he assembled! Fun and Easy! We are learning about ovals so I drew a oval on the belly of the chick and asked him to put glue in the oval and pat the yarn down. It was so fun to watch him assembling and say "pat pat yarn" "pat pat yarn"! So cute! I glued magnets on the back so that they could be displayed on the fridge.

I asked Mikey which chick he wanted to give to Nana, he shook his head, I asked him again, shook his head, finally I said, well do you want to give any away or keep them all? He said this one is for POPPY and this one if for Emmy! I guess Nana is out of luck, good thing she lives with Poppy so she can have a cute baby chick on her fridge!

We also played in the beans lots this week. Such good practice with "measuring" and using those fine motor skills! And of course my little man is darling in the following bean pictures!

***If you would like your child to receive some fun mail, leave me a comment saying how many little kids you have. I will send out a kit with the cutouts and yarn and some fun stickers to the

first two comments! I realize that this is not a large giveaway but all kids love to get mail.***



50th Follower Stamp Sets Giveaway

I was so tickled when my "followers" reached 50! It made my day! I have a fun giveaway planned to celebrate! I will be giving away 3 sets of stamps. The first group is a set of 7, the second set is a set of 3, and the third set is a set of 2 spring stamps. These fit perfectly with the projects that I am going to do tutorials on soon.

Here are the different ways to enter: LEAVE ME A SEPERATE COMMENT FOR EACH! Yes, I was shouting, not in a mean way though! Just in a please, please, pretty please way. It makes me sad when I see someone who didn't get the full amount of entries because they only left me one comment when they should have 2 or 3! Get 1 entry for leaving me a comment telling me what your favorite season is. Another entry for becoming a follower of my blog or for being a faithful follower. (Leave a separate entry). And finally give a little shout-out on your blog or blog sidebar for a third entry (leave a separate entry).

Oh and to appease my husband I will clarify two things, 1. If your number is picked twice, you win twice, I trust you will pass along the duplicates or give them away on your blog or line them up like decorative blocks or ya know, something! and 2. Yes honey I will ship these out fast enough that it won't be fall before they get their spring stamps. I am terribly slow but I do TRY!

As for my favorite season, it is FALL! I simply can't help it; to me there is nothing in the world better than snuggling up in a sweater while the rain is pouring outside and the soup is cooking in the crock-pot inside! Preferably I am reading a good book with one of my lovies or all by myself. And another thing I love about fall is the chance of rain days. My hubby works an occupation that if it rains TOO hard he is rained out, hard on the paycheck sometimes but oh so easy on my heart! I love having him come through the door with a flannel on, a big smile on his face, and watching him put his muddy work boots by the side of the door. It warms my heart right up! Our town fair is also in the fall, Mikey's birthday is in the fall and don't get me started about Halloween and Thanksgiving, two of my favorite holidays! I simply love fall. All the other seasons have lovely traits too but fall is the best in my opinion!


So in summary:
*Leave me a comment about your favorite season
*Follow Make It Sparkly Mama
*Give a shout-out about my giveaway

And leave me a comment about each!

Thank you so much for your support and sweet comments! I am lovin' this blogging thing!  The winners will be announced on Monday, March 29th during my first linky party, Making Me Happy Monday!

And the Winner Is............
