Fairy Garden Over the Years

-
One of the things I like most about having this blog for almost 10 years now, is the evolution of the crafts that we do. There are some classics that we do every year, like the fairy garden. Since my first fairy garden post in 2015 we have made one every year. This is what our fairy garden looks like this year (so far) I tend to change it up as the summer progresses. This is the first Fairy Garden we made. Our first attempt at a fairy garden was in a medium plant pot. I like the look of a fairy garden in a plant pot, it looks like its in its own little world. I think I will try another small one this year, I like the simplicity of it.
D IY Fairy House we made this Fairy House out of a small plant pot for our first fairy garden. 
In my post The More Things Change, the More They Stay the Same I posted this picture of my little fairy garden the first year at our new place. This was the first post I had shared in a while, I had posted only one post per year in 2017,2018 and 2019. In 2020 I decided to start posting again, fittingly I started with a fairy garden, something I had started doing on this blog and I had been doing in the years since my first blog.
Spooky Fairy Garden Houses we made these haunted fairy houses for our Haunted Halloween fairy garden. I started making a haunted fairy garden two years ago. I use a combination of bought decorations and ones that we made ourselves. I will do another post more about our haunted fairy garden in the fall.
Happy crafting and planting!

DIY Minecraft Nerf Gun Target

We have been having fun with nerf guns in the backyard this summer. To change it up  from Nerf Gun battles we decided to make some targets to practice on. Materials: Cardboard box Paint pens  Duct tape  Measure the targets, one big circle in the middle, four smaller circles around the middle target. Cut out the circles, measure about a 1/2" from the edge and cut the contour of the small circles. Measure 1" on the center circle and cut the contour. Draw a character on each target. We chose a creeper for the middle target and pigs for the smaller targets. Place the target in their perspective circles, measure twine to hang each target in place. Duct tape the twine to the target and the targets to the support. Tape all the shapes to their respective openings. Add point value for each shape.  It's  time for target practice! Happy crafting!

There are so many great yoga game ideas for kids out there, this is one that I found that is good for all age groups. The original idea was picking up the pom-poms with your toes only but I found that you can make many variations as you go. Ask the kids for ideas as you're playing as well it's fun to see what they will think of. Toe-ga Empty a bag of pom-poms on the floor. Sit in a circle around the pom-poms. Each player sits back, hands on the floor, knees bent. Place an empty bowl near each player's feet. 123 go, using only their toes each player has to put as many pom-poms in their bowl as they can. Yoga pose pom-pom pick up Empty a bag of pom-poms on the floor. Standing or sitting in a circle choose a yoga pose that everyone can do. While in the pose each player has to place as many pom-poms in their bowls as they can.  Some poses to try: Downward dog, use your hands to pick up the pom-poms.  Tree pose use your toes to pick up the pom-poms.
