A few weeks ago I found some wooden birdhouses at Jo Ann Fabrics for a dollar
each. I thought they would make a fun project for me to do with my boys. So,
I got brave, opened up a few of my acrylic (non-toxic) paints and let them loose!
They loved it and I loved seeing them get creative with their houses...
(and hands...and lips...)
I did the orange and green one and painted the top with chalkboard paint, writing a
Spring message on it with chalkboard markers.
I finished my birdhouse display by stuffing a few pieces of paper Easter grass
into the holes to mimic birds nests. This turned out to be a great kid's project and I'm
proud that my boys actually sat through the whole project to finish them!
Thanks for stopping by ReMadeSimple! I hope you come back later this week where I'll be showing you more of my spring and Easter decorating!
Linking up with these parties.
Adorable. Oh.....they grow up so fast. My teens would never do this stuff with me anymore. Enjoy them!!! :)

ReplyDeletesuch a cute idea!! and I love that both the boys have blue lips :D
ReplyDeleteKristina - do you ever take your boys to the Home Depot kids workshop? It's the first Sat. of each month from 9 to Noon - and it's completely free.. We have built many birdhouses there and the kids get to paint them too. :) Lately they also offer free cookies & juice too. It's a fun monthly tradition.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! The bird houses are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAdorable. So so cute:)
