Quick and Easy New Year's Craft for Kids

"Are we going to do a craft today?"  I hear this everyday from my 3 year old.  She loves to do all kinds of crafts.  Today being New Year's Eve, I was looking for a craft that would allow her to celebrate the coming year, even though she most certainly will not be awake to welcome it officially.  

These super easy New Year's crackers take only a couple of minutes, and you probably have the needed supplies laying around.  All you need is a paper towel tube, some tissue paper, a small toy or some candy, and some sort of ribbon, string, etc. If you are like me, you probably have tons of tissue paper leftover from Christmas (I always save mine for the craft closet). I also lucked out and found this great wire type string with stars on it in my Christmas decoration box.  

First, you cut the tissue paper pieces and the paper towel roll  in half. Then, you put the candy inside.

Roll the paper towel tube (with candy safely inside) up in the tissue paper, and tie off the ends.

You can decorate this anyway you want, and can even use wrapping paper instead of tissue paper.  Takes just a minute or so to find the supplies, and just a few more minutes for you and your little one to put it together.  If you are having a party tonight, you could even make up several of these for party favors!  

Do you and your kids do a lot of crafts?  What is your favorite one that you have done?

Amazon Prime vs Netflix with Free 1 Month Trial!

  

More and more people are turning away from cable companies, and looking for cheaper online alternatives such as Netflix and Hulu.    The one option that is most overlooked is Amazon Prime.  Many people know that an Amazon Prime membership gets you free shipping on most items at Amazon.com, but do not know that Amazon Prime also includes instant access to a ton of movies and shows (lots more than with Netflix)

With Amazon Prime you can:

* Instantly watch over 40,000 movies and TV episodes with titles for everyone

AND

* Borrow books from the Kindle Owners' Lending Library

* Get unlimited FREE two-day shipping with no minimum order size


Now, For a limited time you can get a free one month trial!  Simply cancel (can be easily done from their site with only 2 clicks) before the end of the month and never owe a penny, but I have a feeling you will fall in love!  

Join Amazon Prime - Watch Over 40,000 Movies

ABCmouse.com 1 Year Subscription Giveaway

I saw a commercial for ABCmouse.com while I was watching PBS with my daughter a couple of months ago.  She seemed very interested, so I decided that we would try it out.  I really expected her to lose interest after a few days.  I was pleasantly surprised when , just 3 weeks later, she was graduating from the Toddler Time level.  ABCmouse.com has so many different types of activities that she never seems to get bored of it.  When she gets tired of following her lesson plan, she can explore the rest of the site.  She can visit the library, and watch as the story is read aloud, listen to educational songs, do puzzles, play with her fish tank, or any other number of things to do.

Since she started ABCmouse.com, I have not only noticed improvement not only in the areas that the lessons target, but her computer skills have significantly improved.  She has excellent control of the mouse now, and can navigate the site entirely on her own (and I must admit that it is absolutely WONDERFUL to be able to cook dinner in peace while she does her lessons) . I even put a bookmark on my browser so that she can even pull the site up on her own.  I think we all know how important computer skills are today.   You cannot go to school or (eventually) get a job without having at least some basic computer skills.

This is Laura's favorite part of the site .  Here she can pick the activity she wants to do, so that even when she does get sidetracked from the lesson, I can be sure she is still learning.  

What's the best part about ABCmouse.com though? You can try it FREE for a month to see how it will work out for your little ones.  I can just about guarantee that you will be amazed at how much they have learned in that time. 

ABCmouse.com is giving one of my readers the chance to win a code for whole year of ABCmouse for free!  Use the Rafflecopter below to enter. This giveaway is open in all areas that are able to access ABCmouse.com.

Zymbol Pendant Giveaway

Welcome to the Zymbol Sterling Silver Pendant Giveaway !

Hosted by: Tyrneathem

Sponsored by: Zymbol

Zymbol represents the world’s first line of Interactive Empowerment Jewelry. How is it interactive? Within the symbol you can find every letter of the alphabet and every number hidden in plain sight!

Zymbol™ was ‘accidentally’ created when company Founder Sally Short was doodling, and wrote down the phrase ‘LOVE IS ALL U NEED' stacking each letter on top of the next, and then adding a peace sign to complete the design. Sally then sent the design off to be cast as a ‘Love and Peace' pendant.

But something happened when the Short family received the pendant; they randomly saw it sitting sideways and noticed a ‘K' popping out. “There is no ‘K' in the phrase LOVE IS ALL U NEED,” commented Sally’s Daughter Merida. That motivated the family to see what other letters they could find and they ended up uncovering EVERY LETTER of the ALPHABET and EVERY NUMBER hidden within the symbol!

The Short Family decided to create a line of inspirational jewelry based around the design. They named it Zymbol as it is a symbol that represents all letters A through Z.

Please read Tyrneathem's Zymbol review!

Enter for your chance to win!

Prize: One large Zymbol Sterling Silver Pendant valued at $56

Event Dates: December 10 to 20, 2013

There is only one mandatory entry. It is a quick and simple vote for Zymbol. You do not need to register to place your vote.

Open to residents of the US only. Must be 18 years of age or older to participate. All entries are optional, but completing more entries will increase your chances of winning a prize. Winner will have 24 hours to claim their prize or another winner will be chosen, so please watch your email! Please read full terms and conditions on the form before entering.

Good Luck!

Wee Cat Creations Giveaway

 

Just a little about the shop owner!

Susan McCarthy of Wee Cat Creations has been knitting since age 8 when she learned to make an owl in a class taught at her town’s junior library. She’s been crocheting since her early 20s when a coworker taught her how during a slow summer selling housewares at the mall. She started filling her Etsy shop with accessories made from combinations of yarns in yummy colors and touchable textures in 2012 when her new husband’s health issues forced him to retire at age 52. With take-anywhere yarn, knitting needles, and crochet hooks, Susan is able to spend more time with her husband and enjoy the meditative action of knitting and crochet.

 

I love scarfs and all things handmade so when I came across Wee Cat Creations I was in love! I have never seen scarves made from this type of yarn it makes a super bright and colorful scarf!

She also makes headbands and necklace form the same material and they are to die for!

Every time I carry this bag I am stopped by people to ask where I got it and everyone says they LOVE THIS BAG!

 

Most times during the holidays people are looking for a bargain and they shop those big box stores with generic items for the lowest price possible.

Behind the scenes, we are a small team of real women, building a small business and celebrating the things that make our company unique. Each handmade Artisan item starts and finishes in our production shop but the sewing of your item is done by a master seamstress in her home. We are very proud of this important part of our story.
