What better way to let your child create their own garden and adding their own touch to it?

Things you will need:

- Wooden shapes
- Wooden dowels
- Markers
- Colored paint and Glue

Take your wooden shapes and wooden dowels and paint them. Let dry. Next take your marker and write anything you want on your painted shapes. Ideas are: Jen’s Garden, My Flowers, Planted and then the date. Once you have planted your plants or seeds, stick your plant pokes in your garden.

These can also make VERY cute gifts for a grandmother’s Birthday. Enjoy!

You can then decorate them by using your various decorations you have on hand. Jazz them up. Your child will be in amazement at all the things they can look at through their new binoculars.

Popsicle Stick ReindeerA simple yet fun craft you and your child can make during the holiday Christmas season.

A few items you will need:
* Glue
* 3 popsicle sticks
* 2 wiggly eyes
* one red pom pom
* Red or green ribbon
* Brown Paint (optional)

Optional step: Paint the three popsicle sticks brown. Let dry!

Take the three popsicle sticks and glue them in a triangle shape as seen in above image. Let dry!
Next, glue on the two wiggly eyes and glue on the red pom pom on the very tip to form the nose.
Take about a 6 inch piece of ribbon and glue it in the center back of the top of the reindeer forming a loop. This will be used to hang the ornament on your tree. Let dry!

After all is dry, hang on tree. You will now have a cherished ornament that can be passed down to your child when they have grown and have their own tree to hang in on. Makes a great heirloom.
