~Today is a hot chocolate kind of day.~ Cocoa for the kiddos. There have been some bitter days since the snow started to fall. We shiver at the idea of all that cold temperatures that are heading our way. Though, we all do agree it is beautiful to look outside at the white snow covering the ground. Super Sid thought that since winter was coming and the littles do chores and enjoy hot tea along with cocoa that they should have their own mugs. Let's do this! First try... Oops! We thought about doing the permanent marker craft. However, after reading a little more the fact is it comes off in the wash after a little while. Off to the nail polish then. Sophie, James, and Jazlyn helped gather up the colors that we needed to do our project. We gave it a try with Sophie's mug first. It didn't work so well. The nail polish was semi-dry in the bottle. Most of the bottles were almost empty. The children really do enjoy manicures and pedicures. Daddy to the rescue! He saved the day by going off to the Dollar Tree and brought some brand new nail polish for us to work with. Now we could get down to business. I created a sample one first just to make sure we have it down before the littles started theirs. Sophie's oops was cleaned with a little bit of nail polish remover. Thank you to the dear husband, Donald on picking that up too. After reading a couple different blogs (this idea is every where on the internet), we did the following steps.
Pick your poisons. The littles did very well. Here is some of the photos from our mug making event. Second go around for Sophie. It looks great! Connor's has a Superman feel to it. Cool! James chose a very Christmas feel to his. Pretty! Chloe's turned out to look kind of like a flower. Artsy! Jazlyn's is AWESOME! She did great. The finished work. The blue and silver were mine. This was fun to do. It would be nice to know how to do some of the amazing designs that you see or get more of the "Splash" look. If you have done this, or are thinking about doing this craft, we would love to see your results. Blessed be.
