Coffee Filter Butterflies

We've been spending a lot of time outdoors lately and Stella is quite intrigued by bugs. So, I thought it was the perfect time to make a few of our own. Today we started with butterflies! Coffee filter butterflies are one of those classic crafts that I think everyone has made a one time or another. They are a favorite here!

You will need:

• coffee filters
• washable markers
• a spray bottle filled with water
• chenille stems 

First, color the coffee filter (the more color the better it will turn out). Next, spray the coffee filter generously with water. Finally (when it's dry), fold the filter accordion style and wrap the chenille stem around the middle, bending it to form antennae. Finished!

 

An "Eggs"tra Special Lunch

I recently found this lunch on Pinterest and I knew right away my girls would love it! I've been packing "fun" lunches for them lately and couldn't wait to surprise them with an Easter egg lunch.

I cut their sandwiches with my Funbites "Luv It" cutter and stacked the bites on a bunny skewer. I also cut some cheese flowers and added a few more bite sized surprises. 

I closed all the eggs tight and added a special note for each girl! I can't wait to hear their reaction to this "eggs"tra special lunch!

Muffin Tin "Sundae"

Sweet treats is the theme for Muffin Tin Monday and there is nothing sweeter than ice cream, so I treated the littles to a muffin tin sundae bar! Here is their sweet treat:

Each girl had their own dish of ice cream and shared the tin filled with:

-sprinkles

-chocolate syrup

-bananas

-cherries

-caramel

-chocolate chip cookie crumbs

I'm pretty sure this is their favorite Muffin Tin Meal!
