Spooky Snacks

I've seen so many cute Halloween snack ideas on Pinterest for kids and adults, here are a few that I found. First is the "nana boo" as Chloe calls it, I cut a banana in half and used chocolate chips to make the ghost face. Chloe loves them, I wanted to used the small chocolate chips but I didn't have any so I used the regular size ones. Next is another snack that Chloe absolutely loved! I used a circle cookie cutter to cut her peanut butter sandwich to be the body of the spider. Them I used pretzel sticks for the legs. I was going to put eyes on the spider but I decided not to, she really liked it. 

This next one I think is my favorite of the four, all you need is mini marshmallows, icing, red food coloring and cookies. I used soft chips ahoy cookies ( in the red package) and I cut them in half. I mixed the food coloring and icing to make it red and spread it on the cookie halves. I lined up four mini marshmallows along the rounded part of the cookie and one in the back to keep it balanced. Then I put the top cookie on, there ya have it, it's a mouth! This one Chloe didn't try but I did make her one similar with apple slices, peanut butter and mini marshmallows. 

Finally, this one is super simple, a witch's broom stick. More like mini broom stick, I couldn't find the size of peanut butter cups the I was looking for so I got the mini ones. For the stick of the broom I used a pretzel. It's a super yummy combination and really cute! I hope you give some of these a try! Only 1 week left until Halloween, I'm so excited and so is Chloe!

Mother's Day Foot Art

Image
With Mother's Day coming up, a great gift for moms and grandmas is something homemade especially from little kids! I love doing footprint/handprint art so I went to Pinterest to find some inspiration for Mother's Day and this is what I found. Cupcake First I did this handprint cupcake with Chloe, the one I saw on Pinterest was pretty different but same idea. I used the smallest size of the Artists Loft flat canvas (from Michaels), the handprint turned out way better then I was expecting it to. After that I gave Chloe a rectangular piece of paper and some crayons to color it with. Once it was totally filled in I trimmed it to look like a cupcake tin, then I glued it on. The words were the same as on the one I used as inspiration, "For the Sweetest Grandma!" You could right whatever you like on it and for whoever not necessarily grandma.  Bumblebees For this one I used the second smallest Artists Loft flay canvas (from Michaels). The reason I did this was because I coul...
