Foam stamp art, kids thank you cards

We got this idea from parents magazine. We cut up a foam packing piece into a square. Had my daugther write thank you on a piece of paper. I held it up and traced the letters on to the back in reverse. I then placed the paper on the foam and traced over her letters. That left her writing in the foam. I used a pecil to make the inpression a little deeper into the foam. Then she sponged washable paint onto the foam piece and stamped it on the card stock. Cheap and easy, this projet only took a 1/2 hour and we had all of the supplies at home.

items used:
foam packing piece
card stock
scissors
sponge
washable paint

Tea Time Clock, invitation or craft

My daugther wanted to make a clock for her birthday party invitation this year. This is what we came up with.

items used:
*card stock two square pieces for each clock
*paper fastners
*puffy craft tape
*various pieces of crafting paper
*number stickers
*glue stick
*flower stickers

The hands on the clock are able to turn because we used the fastner to hold them on. We glued the second sheet of card stock on the back to hide the hardware. The flower sticker hides the fastner on the front of the card.
