Q-Tip Fall Tree Painting

This was the cutest and easiest craft ever, I think! My son had a blast painting and singing "dot, dot, dot"! 

Things you will need:
- Construction Paper
- Glue
- Q-Tips
- Paint ( we used Crayola Washable Kids' Paints )

First, I used a piece of brown construction paper and cut out a tree shape. Next, I got a white piece of construction paper and glued the cut out brown tree to the paper. Then I let me son add his red, yellow and orange dots ( leaves ) all over the paper!

Such a fun fall activity!



This last picture I just gave him a plain piece of paper and paint brush and let him paint whatever he wanted! :)

    I love this idea!!! Perfect for fall....you can also use their hand too...or the tree and the fingers for branches. I saw the fingers then used as leaves but i like the q tip idea too.....

    I cannot wait to try this with my grandson. A simple little project we can make together for Mommy and Daddy. Thank you for this great idea.

Preheat oven to 350. Combine the Spice Cake mix and pumpkin together in a medium/large sized bowl. Make sure it's mixed well! Then add your chocolate chips..

Homemade Bath Paints

This is one of my favorite activities my son and I have tried so far. :) Homemade Bath Paints! Simple to make and few ingredients. You're number one question will probably be "Do they rinse off the tub easily?" the answer is "Yes!" Here's what you will need:    - 1 tablespoon cornstarch - 4-6 pumps of baby shampoo - 2-3 drops food coloring - 1-2 tsp water - containers or a tray for your bath paints ( I used baby food jars I saved ) We only made red the first time so the measurements above won't make a lot of bath paints.. You can adjust the recipe to make larger amounts. :) Our red bath paints after it is all mixed together My son loved this. I need to make more colors now.
