kid's art slate coasters

they say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

so i guess that means my kids are doomed as far as being away from arts and crafts.

well, i shouldn't say doomed really, as some of the things i do can come in handy in their life i suppose.

like at celebrations, where my kids would have a desire to spend 19 hours in the kitchen per day making party stuff.

see, i will never have to worry about that part at least.

:>P

seeing that my son is 10 and will have the desire to hang out with his friends more than his mom doing crafts at home as he gets older, i grabbed the chance with him to work together on a craft.

so we made these:

you can make them too with your kid or a little one.

just like this:

we used both because we wanted to use as many colors as we had.

have you ever heard of that before?

it's true!

i tried it. 

see what i mean?

so anyway, this is what my son drew:

ooo! me likey!

he knows just what makes my heart beat faster :)

(by the way, that ice cream coaster corner was like that when i bought it unbeknownst to me!)

anywho, next we took the coasters and did this:

when the labels dry, 

and look!

we just killed 2 birds with one stone.

spending quality time together and making a gift.

"for me?" i tell my son."why you shouldn't have!"
