Great keepsake to make for your kids

I did a post on asprinkleofthis.blogspot.com about a baby shower gift. You can view the whole post here. This has been one of my most popular posts. The main reason is the Dr. Seuss keepsake book idea I shared. Basically you sneak the book "Oh, The Places You'll Go" into your child's teacher at the end of each year and ask them to write a small note and sign it. Then you give it to your child at his or her high school graduation. I've had several people ask me for the tag that I created to match so I decided to make it a free printable. Just click on the photo to be take to the download.

Healthy Eating Punch Cards

My kids have gotten really picky about their eating lately. They're refusing to try anything new and are begging for a treat after every meal. It was driving me crazy so I created these cards. The first one labeled "Try It, Punch It" is for healthy eating. Whenever they eat something healthy they get one circle punched {or initialed}. When all 10 are filled they get a treat. I'm planning to just stock up on inexpensive dollar store things and other items when I see them on clearance.
The second one is labeled "Earn A Treat". For this one they need to eat 10 healthy foods such as carrots, a salad, broccoli, etc. Once they've received their 10 punches they get a sweet treat.
I'm offering these as a free printable. Please remember that they are for personal use only. If you want to share with others please direct them to this post. There are 8 on each page. The first set are in 4 different colors and the second set are all alike. Just click on each picture to be taken to the download {minus the watermark}

Enjoy,
Denise

Valentine Cards

Since Valentine's Day is almost here I thought I'd make my first post some card ideas for kids to exchange. The first is the card my son will be handing out. This was not my original idea. You can find the original post here along with the free printable
The next one is what my daughter will be handing out. Again, not my original idea. However, I'm unsure who to give credit to as the originator as there are a ton of them on the internet and pinterest.
I didn't actually make the last idea I'm going to share but it has gotten so many hits on pinterest I decided to include it here. You can find the source here.
Since she just explained how to make the crayon heart I thought I'd include a printable for the card. I have two that you can download for free. One is black and white so you can choose any color cardstock. The second is red and blue. Just click on the picture to be taken to the download.
