Fingerprint Rainbow

Easier to help a toddler do fingerprint art with index finger instead of thumb! I helped her along with dotting her colors!  Handprint yellow sun in corner too!

Ballerina craft

Got this template and idea here

http://pinkandgreenmama.blogspot.com/2012/02/ballerina-paper-dolls-with-cupcake.html

I just used the template and cut it out as is instead of making white ones since my toddler isn't really ready for decorating them properly. So we just drew a little face and added the cupcake liner skirt! Super cut! Will make again in the future~

Rainbows

 Cut a paper plate in half and paint how you desire. I helped make the rainbow above and my toddler created her own rainbow below! Then we used some ribbon we had saved from bows on presents to hang from them!
