There’s a lot going on around here today, so last night I prepped a few activities to keep the girls busy today. This one in particular took virtually no prep time and required nothing more than a @dollartree sticker book for each and a hand drawn sweater with some designs. The next thing I knew, my niece was asking to color and cut it out. The girls were entertained…
I absolutely love when friends share ideas with B and I in mind, and such was the case with these upside down ice cream cone Christmas 🎄 trees. They may not be picture perfect, but they were a ton of fun to make and the children really enjoyed the process (maybe you noticed 😋).

I had a perfect @ikeausa box lying around that was itching to be used for this activity that I envisioned being a one and done. But not at all; it exceeded all of my expectations!

When setting this up, keep in mind that pom poms are easier to use because of their bigger size, and the sequins requires a much more…
I’d like to tell you that Amazon and Target boxes 📦 don’t find themselves at my home every week or 2, but I’d be lying. And for so long I’ve felt guilty about throwing those boxes out (yes, even when they go into the recycling ♻️ bin), but not today. Today, Santa got a makeover and he’s never looked more fabulous. Simply draw Santa onto the side…
