The Holidays are all about family - and even more so, kids. So the May Arts Ribbonistas decided to have s blog hop to celebrate crafting with our favorite kidos. And of course, there will be prizes, so head to the
May Arts Ribbon Blog for all of the details.
Since
I don't have any children of my own, I asked my eight year old nephew
if he would like to help me out with this project. He jumped at the
chance and came right over. I of course had visions of the cute
projects that we would make together....and as you know, sometimes
things just don't go as planned. Cole's mind was racing with all of the
fun supplies he could do anything with, and he was not at all interested
in my plans.
So, I ended up making this Sock Snowman. He was so quick and easy to make - and adding the May Arts Ribbon, made him look spectacular. To create this little cutie, just take an old sock and cut off the foot. Turn the sock inside out and gather one end with a heavy rubber band. Turn back right side out and fill with rice. Close the top with another rubber band. Tie ribbon for a scarf and to create the neck. Fold the foot portion of the sock to form that hat. Embellish with ribbon and buttons.

Now here is the card my nephew made. Since he just had his Veteran's Day program last week
at school, he wanted to make a Marine card. It probably didn't help that
he was eating Frito's as he made his
card - but it was made with love :) And we still had fun together
(which is the main point!)
