quick gift idea

It was my dad’s birthday this past week and I wanted to make something with the Littles for his garden.  He and my mom have been working on an awesome vegetable garden that I will write more about later.  But since our Littles are a bit too little to do anything that requires too much skill, I went with painting rocks that Grandpa could add to his flower pots, as well as painting a little potted basil plant.

Super easy projects, and the Butterfly Fly stamps added the perfect touch to the gift cards!

All it took was washable paint, some rocks we found on a walk, and a small potted basil plant.  (Grandpa planed to add a coat of varnish to the rocks so the paint wouldn’t rub off).

Simple project.

The girls had so much fun doing it (and it was fun for me to do with them!)
and hopefully it will give Grandpa (and Grandma) a little smile when they see them in their garden.

Happy Monday!  Stay tuned for laundry tips, and vegetable gardens!!

    So cute! My littles also painted pots this weekend which we filled with foam and Spanish moss. Then I cut out flowers in construction paper and glued a circular cut out of their faces from photos into the middle. Once they were glued to the edges of green pipe cleaners they made a perfect bouquet to put into the pots. Great little mothers day gift for them to make for their grandmas and babysitter! Happy mothers day Shanna!

    So sweet! Gardens are so much fun – especially when they are decorated with a little help from the grandchildren!
