Little Pea Craft + Giveaway

Oh Friday, how I love thee.  So glad it’s the weekend.

Last night as Harper was brushing her teeth I noticed these in her trash can.

Yes, that is 10, count them 10 Smarties packages.  This led to lots of laughter on the parental part, but some tears for one wee Kelley.  A good ole’ truth lesson.  I was semi concerned with, “Where was I when you snagged all these?”

Today we hit up Monkey Joes.  Turns out, when you have a party there they give you some passes to come back on.  We were stoked.

I started One Thousand Gifts.  First chapter complete.  I may have marked up almost 2/3 of it.  I think this book is going to be good…like real good.

Last night I glued on a ton of magnets to my Mom’s old scrabble pieces.  I’m a bit in love.

I’ll post the How-To for the board soon.  It’s easy, easy!

And today we did our weekly planned craft.

We adore the book Little Pea.

My mom actually bought this for Harper several Christmases ago.  It’s the story of Little Pea who has a pretty great life, but doesn’t like one thing…candy.  And he has to eat candy every night if he wants to become a big strong pea and get his dessert…which is spinach.  Too cute, right?

It’s seriously adorable and the pictures are rockin’.  It has been in heavy reading rotation lately, so today we made a pea craft.

Here are our supplies: White paper circles, eyes & mouths, green paint, paintbrushes, crayons, scissors and glue.

Sol chose to sit today’s craft out.  He was still busy eating his lunch 🙂

First up, the kiddos painted their Little Pea.

Once it was dry, which I use a hair dryer to speed this along, they cut out their pea.

They then colored, cut out and glued on their eyes and mouth.

Harper decided to make her pea, Mama Pea, with some flashy eyelashes.

And there you have it…adorable peas.  You always have a craft project, if you have a loved book 🙂

And that is that.  So glad the weekend is here.
