If you would like to become a sponsor, please contact me. BTW, it's not too late to enter the first two contests. A winner will be chosen soon for the Oopsie Dazie hairbows. To win the design package from RS Designs, you must be a subscriber to Little Fun; Little Learning.
Cindy, a SAHM of two, started Oopsie Dazie because she couldn’t find any unique hair accessories for her daughter. She started with clips and grew to headbands and pony tail holders. What sets Oopsie Dazie apart is the endless number of ribbon and topper combinations. It’s very possible that a clip could be a one of a kind. The offerings are always changing as well, so you can keep coming back to see what is new. It’s impossible for someone to own everything Cindy makes, because the options are endless. Plus, they are absolutely affordable and shipping is free!
These were made during my daughter's first year of preschool. The one on the left is (unfortunately) made of construction paper. Needless to say, it won't hold up well. The one on the right is made of the craft foam kits from Oriental Trading. They're very inexpensive. I'm not thrilled with the Christmas tree one though. As you can see, the red berries fall off very easily.
We made these last year at preschool. Thankfully, we were able to use a dye cut machine to make the Christmas trees. We used some old buttons that we had in the supply closet and some glitter for the garland. I think the foam only costs us $2. These were very thrifty ornaments! :)
My daughter came home with the stocking on the left. I think it was made with a kit, but it is made from craft foam. I'm sure you could also make this with cardstock or fabric. The one on the right is simply beads strung onto pipe cleaner. This is one of my daughter's favorite ornaments.
Do you have any hand made ornaments that you'd like to share with us? Leave a link below or tell us about it.
My daughter brought this home from school this week. I thought it was a cute idea. Just divide the paper into four sections and write the seasons on the paper. For spring use blue fingerprints, summer is a sun made from a yellow circle, fall is foam leaf stickers, and winter is foam snowflake stickers.
A reader at DLTK sent in this idea. The only paint colors you need are red and white.
You may choose five (5) of the following options (price includes
up to 3 image credits; you may pay for more credits if you desire):
Custom header
Custom signature
Custom divider
Custom button/banner
Custom background image
Color coordination (change your blog’s text colors to coordinate with your custom images)
Add or delete a column
Custom navigation bar
I have to admit that I wish I had this prize. ;) If you'd like to be entered to win Revka's Gold Design Package, be sure to become a subscriber to Little Fun; Little Learning by December 31st.

I've had this sent to me twice in the past week. It has a pretty good beat. My daughter has one of the Go Fish cds.
I can't even begin to describe how I feel right now. I am gushing with gratefulness.

Happy Thanksgiving to you! I hope your day is surrounded by the ones you love.
Here is a cute idea for a Thanksgiving place mat. You write "I am thankful for . . . " and then have the child draw pictures of things for which they're thankful. It looks like this particular mat has die cut leaves around it. You could cut some out yourself and/or have your child help you. If you don't feel too creative, then a plain colored border would work too.
Say what? At a recent all-ages home screening, a hush fell over the room.
“What did they do to us?” asked one Gen-X mother of two, finally. The show
rolled, and the sweet trauma came flooding back. What they did to us was
hard-core. Man, was that scene rough. The masonry on the dingy brownstone at
123 Sesame Street, where the closeted Ernie and Bert shared a dismal
basement apartment, was deteriorating. Cookie Monster was on a fast track to
diabetes. Oscar’s depression was untreated. Prozacky Elmo didn’t exist.
When I was growing up, I never watched Sesame Street. I guess I'm safe from all the trauma. lol
What do you think about this?
I have noticed something pretty aggravating about the Nick Jr. site--whenever you find something you like, you'd better bookmark it. The site is constantly changing. One day you could find something that you like and the next day you go to look for and you could search for a while. Here is a clip that is circulating over the internet quickly. This little boy, Logan, called into a radio station to share some wisdom.
Here is a direct link from the radio station - http://www.ksbj.org/eblogs/morningShow/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/logan-calf-story.mp3
The SPUMPS is the name of their preschool.
It is important for us to learn to be thankful for what we have. Being thankful helps us learn to be content and happy, no matter our circumstances.
2) Thanksgiving Scripture Place Cards
Boasting in My Weakness also has an idea for scripture place cards. Your kids could help decorate these with glitter, stickers, etc.
3) Thanksgiving Coloring Pages
Printables for Kids has free Thanksgiving coloring pages.
Have fun!
Enjoy!
