Liberty Shakers! – A 4th of July Craft for Kids

July 1, 2009 By Laura 5 Comments

I thought this 4th of July craft, we call Liberty Shakers, was a great one for the kids to make, so they could have a little something to make some ‘joyful noise’ at  our various celebrations coming up for America’s birthday!

red white and blue July kids craft

  Living in America’s Hometown, our town most always has a huge, big long 4th of July parade through the heart of our downtown area.  But this year, there will be no parade, due another exciting event their holding. (Which is even more exciting, and we’ll be sure to document and share with you when the times comes.)    Anyway, my point is, if there’s a 4th of July parade in your town, your kids will love having these along.  Maybe they can shake them for the fireworks finale too!!

Very young kids will definitely need some assistance making these, but none at all using them!  : )

Here’s what you’ll need for supplies:

 red white and blue July kids craft

  • Bathroom tissue tubes, and/or paper towel tubes cut in 1/2
  • A pile of white copy/printer paper (or any white paper)
  • Clear acetate sheet protectors
  • Small jingle bells
  • Any red/white/blue ribbon
  • Red/white/blue star stickers of any kind
  • Clear shipping tape (not shown, but it was a lifesaver)
  • Fiskar cutter (also not shown-not needed but I use it A LOT for most everything regarding cutting straight paper.
  • *Craft glue – *Note there are glue sticks on the corner. Can I just vent for a second?  I’ve decided I despise glue sticks, because every brand I have ever tried has been lousy.  We ended up using the same brand glue in an Elmer’s Glue style bottle. Elmer’s glue would work too.   But my opinion is, it’s never worth bothering with the glue sticks.  Great concept for kids,  if they actually worked.  Thanks for listening.

Here’s how you make them:

 red white and blue July kids craft

1)   Grab a sheet of white paper and a tube, and placing the tubes end at the edge of the paper, mark off the width of paper you’ll need (where you’ll cut).

 red white and blue July kids craft

2)   The roll the tube in the paper to determine how much length of paper you’ll need, and mark that side.  (Similar to determining how much gift wrap you need to wrap a present.)

 red white and blue July kids craft
3)    Here we are cutting the size of paper we need, determined by our tick marks, using the * Fiskar cutter.

*If you don’t have a Fiskar cutter, but find yourself doing crafts that require cutting in a straight line, this tool is worth it’s weight in gold!  I use it ALL of the time.  They are available at any fine crafts store.  The orange blade piece pops out for easy replacement and it also comes with a scorer piece that pops in!

Now if you don’t have this tool, using a ruler and pencil to mark your lines from your tick marks, and cutting with scissors will work as well, of course.

 red white and blue July kids craft

4)    Put glue at one end of the sized piece of paper you cut > the end that will run lengthwise with your tube.

 red white and blue July kids craft

5) Start rolling the paper around your tube.

 red white and blue July kids craft

6) The end of the paper you are rolling should have the glue already at the end, to seal it to the tube.

7) Now, this next step I do not have any photos of because frankly, it took a little figuring and a lot of assistance on my part.  So there was a little too involved to be photo-taking.  But…..you need to cut some circles out of your white paper , that do not need to be perfect.  But these paper circles do not to be about 1/2 or so bigger than the end of your tubes.   You may want to trace the end of the tube as a guide, keeping your pencil tip away from the edge of the tube.   Then you can cut some small slits around the edge of your circles (toward the center, for easier folding. Because you need to use these circles to close off the end of your tubes.  Placing the circles at the end of the tube, fold over the tube all the way around.  This is one step that the clear packing tape came in very handy. We just cut the right size pieces of tape and wrapped it around to hold the paper closed over the tube end.  Comprendez?  ONLY CLOSE ONE END OF THE TUBE AT THIS POINT!!!

 red white and blue July kids craft
8) Let the kids count out 10 jingle bells, and drop them into the open end of the tube.
Also,  maybe using more or less will make different sound effects, but we did not test that theory, so please do not hold us responsible with that idea.  : )

9)  NOW, you can close the remaining open end of the tube, following step 7) above.

 red white and blue July kids craft
10 ) Next, take an acetate sheet, and cut it in half, using the center ring whole as a marking point.

11) Then cut fringes with either scissors, or your Friskar cutter. You need to stop an inch or so, short of the end!  You do NOT want to cut all of the way.

When you are done, you should have a piece that looks like this below….

 red white and blue July kids craft
So you are going to need this fringe piece for EACH END of every tube you are making.

12)  Again, no photos here, but wrap the fringe piece(s) around the end(s) of the tube(s), with the base on the tube, and fringe ends extending off the end.   And again, clear shipping tape was perfect for securing it.

 red white and blue July kids craft

13)  Decorate the tubes with sticker as you’d like.

14)   To further dress up your shakers, you can use the red, white and blue ribbons in various creative ways.   You can cut long pieces of the ribbon and tape them at ends of the tubes along with the fringes, and/or wrap them around the tubes as bands-again using tape to secure.   For {O}’s, we tied one band, on one end, with a big bow, and long ends, to make it girly-girly for her. : )

15)   Once they are all decorated -they are ready for S H AK I NG!

May Basket Delivering! – SO FUN!

May 1, 2009 By Laura 6 Comments

Our May Basket Delivering Day was so fun! We wanted to share it all with you.
may-day-baskets_
There was no schooling on our agenda today – just delivering our May baskets for May Day, and the kids could not have been more excited! But, first, I had to have some of my own fun, taking just a few more photos, as detailed memories.

daisies

rose

may-day-baskets

Ok, now I was ready. So next the kids loudly debated about which May basket was ‘theirs’, based on the tag they made, and who was going to who’s door, ringing the doorbell, and running for their life.ย ย  Once that was settled, they were very eagerly ready to go!ย  But you know I’m getting a photo of them first, and they know it too.

ready-to-secretly-deliver-may-day-baskets

I was so grateful that the light rain we had going on, went on hold for us once it was time to get down to business.ย  I didn’t mind the gray overcast day—it’s actually better for the photo taking. : )

Our first stop was right at the end of our road……

1_delivering-may-day-baskets
This is the home of a lovely elderly couple who have nearly ancient history in our neighborhood. This home of their is new, but it is built right in front of the old and smaller home that they raised 11 children of their own in!ย  They are so sweet.ย  So {A} placed the basket on the porch, rang the doorbell and ran. We were ‘seen’…..their visiting daughter opened the door as she and I were climbing back into the van up the road some. Last year their visiting son saw us the same way. Now…our hopes are always that our intended receivers would come to open the door, because that would give us more ‘get-away’ time, if you know what I mean. ; )

2_delivering-may-day-baskets

Next stop was up the main road a bit……

ring-and-run-may-day-basket-deliveries
{J} was up for his hit and run.ย  lol. This is the home of Sr. Jeremy—the long time nun resident of our parish.ย  She has done marvelous and wonderful things within our church family. We love her dearly…..and she loves children, DEARLY!!ย  She is a HOOT, if you know what I mean, and she has no reservations about speaking her mind. Ever. My kind of Girl!

ring-and-run-may-day-basket-delivering_
I was hiding behind a bush with my camera, and I couldn’t have been more tickled pink with getting this shot!! Look how his feet aren’t even touching the ground!ย  He was hysterical, trying to run before the door opened. We got away in time, but did spy with our little eyes, Sister open the door, see the May basket, and look everywhere for the sneaky one. lol

Next stop was a little ride, and it was {S’s} turn…..

secretly-delivering-may-day-baskets

This is the home of a lovely older couple from church, who dig us. And we dig them. We always sit all together in 2 pews in front or behind each other. They adore our kids, and are smitten with their church behavior.ย  They are probably in their late 70’s, and have great senses of humor.

Now, I have to tell you…THIS was a tricky one. And we got TOTALLY BUSTED!ย  See, here’s the thing. We were pretty sure these Peeps were going to be home. The brick sidewalk leading to this door, is very windy. It actually does a zig, and then a zag. So sidewalk is actually shifted very much to the right side, walking towards the door, and then does a zig to straighten head on to the door. So as we are walking, we are looking RIGHT IN the big window door-right. And we see movement in there. Oh dear!ย  So {S} puts the basket down, and tries to hurry ringing the door bell, which is of course door right….

may-day-baskets-getting-caught
…and as he rings, he finds himself face to face with Mrs. G….coming to the door. DAG NABBIT!! Do you see her?ย  Need help?

may-day-baskets-getting-caught_2
Do you see her now??ย  No??ย  It’s ok…it’s ok…it happens to the best of us. (Well, not really….I just don’t want you to feel bad…)…look again…

may-day-baskets-getting-caught_3
Now?? Because that’s really all I can do to help you. lol

So anyway….she’s coming, {S} sees her, but he starts ringing the doorbell anyway, and again, and again, because really….he was NOT missing the opportunity to ring a doorbell like everyone else! (We don’t have one on our house…lol).

Mrs. G opened the door, and laughing she said “WHAT are you DOING?”…and {S} said “Happy May Day!“, and she replied with a big laugh, “Aren’t you just the sweetest thing!“….and he has been repeating that all day. I think he believes her! lol. No…he is. So anyway…I was laughing so hard, from the nerves and getting caught, I forgot to take photos of her standing there, pleased as punch with their surprise.ย  Then we ran away, with her yelling after us…‘Thank youuuu!!!”

We had ONE more stop, and it was {O’s} turn……

may-day-basket-deliveries
This is the home of our friend, Dr. Ann. She is a veterinarian, and she has become quite attached to our kids too.ย  (And us, her.) We also know her from church, and we also sit near her.ย  (She saved a pew for us on Sunday morning, because we were running late, and it was JAM PACKED because it was a First Communion Mass….bless her soul!! We were so thankful!)ย ย  Anyway, she calls the kids ‘The Children‘….and if you heard her voice.ย  LOVE her voice. She’s a lector too…which is so lovely hearing her read Sunday readings to us…and she is also a singer. (She got us all tickets to her concert this Sunday!) Anyway….she knows all of he kids names, but she always says to the kids “So how are THE CHILDREN today??!!ย  HmmMM??”….and they all giggle, and say, “Gooood.”ย  She’s a doll.

We knew she wasn’t home, because her car was not there, and she works long hours at her business in town, her own Veterinary Hospital.ย ย  But…the kids enjoyed the fact that her cats were in the window watching us. lol.ย  So at least SOMEONE saw her in her cool hot pink slicker, even if they did have fur!

2_may-day-basket-delivering

That was the last of our May basket deliveries!ย  Met with BIG groans and sighs by ‘the children’.

As we all climbed out of the van in our driveway, they were still talking about how they wish we had more homes to go to.ย  They had SO much fun.ย  WE ALL did.ย  We just LOVE doing these kinds of things. Especially for other people. The whole process….planning surprises for others, shopping, making and baking things, and just having fun making someone’s day.

Here they all with mission accomplished:ย  Basket-less!

finished-delivering-our-may-day-baskets
Later on tonight, we got a call from the old woman at the end of our road. She left the sweetest message on our machine, expressing how wonderful that May Day gift basket made her feel, and the memories it brought back to her of the May Pole at school when she was a little girl. If you heard her sweet, sincere and shaky little voice, well….

That’s what it’s all about.

We can hardly wait until next year.ย  I’ve heard the kids talking, and I can see this getting WAY out of hand next time.

But who cares??!!

Hope you all had a wonderful May Day!

Creative Coloring Easter Eggs – Photos

April 13, 2009 By Laura 6 Comments

Just sharing with you today some photos from our creative coloring of Easter eggs tradition. Our family here LOVES to color and decorate eggs. Do you? We could do it every day.ย  It’s also one of my favorite things to photograph. We do hope you all had a lovely and blessed Easter!ย  Our entire Triduum was so focused and beautiful.ย  We especially enjoyed the services and Masses at our church throughout the Holy days, and our quiet Easter celebration together wasย  pleasant and relaxing.

We will have more Easter photos to share tomorrow or the next day, but have a heavier than usual work week, so we just may not be so chatty until later on in the week, if we are disciplined.ย  ; )ย  But we’ve got a long list of blog posts and plans on hand-so stick around! And Enjoy!

Stained-Glass (looking) Tissue Paper Easter Cross – Kids Craft

April 7, 2009 By Laura 20 Comments

Today we have an Easter themed craft tutorial for you!  It is beautiful, and so fun to make!  It’s a stained-glass (looking) tissue paper Easter cross, for your home or school windows. Or glass door!

stained-glass-tissue-easter-cross-craft_mini

The kids have been working really hard with their school work, and will actually be done with their formal work in just a couple of weeks.  So in preparing our hearts and minds for this Holy week, we decided to do some more lengthy study of the Stations of the Cross, and then get creative today and make a big Stained Glass (looking) Easter cross decoration for our Easter celebration come this Sunday.  It will be fitting in faith and spring spirit, to leave it up as beautiful cheery decor, for several weeks following Easter.

There were really only 5 things we needed:  a very large sheet of window cling, lots of colored tissue paper, a sponge brush, some Modge Podge and a pair of scissors.

colored-tissue-paper-layers modge-podge-gloss-lustre

I didn’t take photos of this part, but, we first drew out a large cross on the back of the window cling material backing-paper, using a board for the straight edges, and a round container for the rounded decor ends of the cross.  Once that was done, the kids all grabbed sheets of the tissue paper, and starting ripping it into pieces 1-2 inches or so. (Might I add, the colors each of them go for are so predictable.  lol)

stained-glass-tissue-easter-cross-craft_6 stained-glass-tissue-easter-cross-craft_5

Once we had plenty of pieces ready to go, I started spreading some Modge Podge, with a sponge brush,  in small sections (on the front) of the cross at a time, going outside of the lines somewhat on purpose.  Then the kids got to work, putting down pieces, overlapping each other, and rubbing them down.

stained-glass-tissue-easter-cross-craft stained-glass-tissue-easter-cross-craft_3

When the entire cross was almost done being covered with pieces of colored tissue, I started on one end, and went over any uplifted corners, or flappy pieces, of tissue, just Modge-Podging them down good with my sponge brush.  I LOVE Modge Podge-that stuff is great for so many projects!

stained-glass-tissue-easter-cross-craft_2 stained-glass-tissue-easter-cross-craft_4

We made the cross 20″x34″.

Once it was all dry, we cut it out!

It was a perfect fit for our front door, because we planned it that way. : )

stained-glass-tissue-easter-cross-craft_1

With the main events of Holy Week still before us, we anticipate the somber and difficult remembrance of the journey Jesus has yet before Him-and we will follow Him all the way to His last breath.

But the radiating colors of this cross, brought to life by the sunlight, reflect the state of our hearts come Sunday, when we will celebrate our risen Jesus Christ, in all of His dazzling and promising glory.

We appreciate the 100’s of visits our blog has received in the past couple of days.  As we all take part in this holiest week of the year, and end our personal Lenten journeys, may you feel your hearts full of peace, prayer, and the undeniable presence of the Holy Spirit, and find yourself in a deeper, and more meaningful relationship with Christ.

Our Valentine’s Day – Ideas

February 16, 2009 By Laura 8 Comments

I hope everyone isn’t over the whole Valentine’s thing by now.  You know…sick of photos and Valentine talk.  After all, it was over 2 days ago!!  We’re just trying to catch up here!!  And please forgive me too, but I took a load of photos, and I have a hard time deciding which ones to share. But also, it’s for the sake pf preserving our kids’ childhood memories, here on the blog.

You’ll get a lot of good Valentine’s Day ideas for your kids in this post, for next year and on, though!

As you all know by now, we really TRY to follow the liturgical year.  However, Valentine’s Day has been removed from the Catholic Liturgical calendar I believe.  Still, as homeschoolers, we also try to study the history of every holiday or liturgical celebration. But I have to say………….we find Valentine’s Day, and St. Valentine, complicated, confusing and head-spinning.  Anyone else??  I have read 3 or more differing stories of how (St.) Valentine’s Day came about.  What’s more, there are more than one ‘Valentine’.  Indeed, this day we call Valentine’s  Day is shrouded in mystery and legend. They aren’t even sure who the REAL Valentine is, from what we have found. It seems there are 3 martyrs, all who did indeed die ‘for love’.  But for the LOVE OF CHRIST, not the romantic kind of love we tend to color Valentine’s Day with.

Now, if any of that sounds confusing, it’s because I was just as confused, typing it.  Still….we CELEBRATED LOVE in our own simple way.

The kids always wake up in the morning, to a little-something for them, on the table.

valentines dy ideas for kids

I couldn’t choose just ONE moment, that put a smile on my face, so I made them into one. : )  It’s just FUN watching them open and look at their stuff.  It takes so little to get them ALL excited.

Like a handful of straws, not for drinking, but building. More on that later.

Animal crackers, and Cherry Chapsticks.

Valentines of course, and Puppet Kits, to do later on today.

But first, we had {A’s} morning basketball game to get to!

Have I mentioned I am not properly equipped to photograph basketball games? I rarely even bother bringing my gear, getting this kind of quality of shots.  But I also have to avoid flash, because I don’t want to disrupt the focus of the girls.  Anyway, here’s the best of what I got Saturday morning.

6startjump

She’s always put in for the tip-off, to start the game, because she’s the tallest. (She’s the one with the ridiculously long braid.  #8 : )

7firstscoreonboard

It took her no time to put her team on the scoreboard – it was also the first HOOP of the game!

8freethrow

She managed to draw a COUPLE of fouls in the game, so this is one of the times she got a couple of free-throws.

9swoosh

SCORE!

11headinforhoop

We just love to watch her play.

10air

More free-throws. She’s good at drawing the foul.

12anothertohoop

There’s only 1 more game before the play-offs. We all cry a little, when another basketball season is over until November.           We’re so sad!

Later after lunch, the kids put together their puppets. I found a kit of 4 animal puppets put out by Martha Stewart at Wal*Mart.  Each animal is so easy to make > No scissors or glue needed! Just follow the directions, peel off the paper tabs, and stick!

Yes, even {A} made one.  I know, she’s too old for puppets. But she does love crafting with the kids.

I asked all of the kids to lay down on our kitchen floor, so I could get this ‘puppet portrait’.  I knew it would be cute, and I didn’t even step on them taking the shot!

Later that evening, we had a fancy, soft-music, table-clothed, candle-lit dinner, WITH our little valentines.

Making such a  dinner took longer than we thought. They were knew recipes to us.  So by the time we sat down, we were STARVING, and I never took photos of our entrees.  But, we had:  Lemon Pepper Chicken Sandwiches (with colby-jack cheese and thick-cut bacon) on Kaiser Rolls.

We had fun saying “Pass the Grey Poupon, please!”

We also had French Onion Soup, that was better than any we have ever had in a restaurant. It takes quite awhile to make it, but boy was it good!!  The Gruyere Cheese is key!

And dessert, of course.  A heart-shaped chocolate cake, with a very light whipped strawberry frosting made from scratch.  Also delicious!

The next day the kids got to being creative with their abundance of straws:

And {A} baked us another treat.

It was really nice to have Valentine’s Day fall on a Saturday.

But we’re just going to carry on, celebrating love for the rest of the year.

Hope yours was wonderful too!!
