Daisy Shower
A daisy shower uses the daisy as a symbol of freshness and joy. A daisy shower is a bright summer theme that can be used for either a boy or a girl shower. Baby shower flowers can be made into a centerpiece of silk daisies mixed with yellow and white sock roses. The daisy is a simple pattern for baby shower flowers whose yellow and white colors make baby shower decorating easy.

Some more baby shower decorating ideas are to use a yellow and white tablecloth on the table to display dishes of lemon drops, yellow and white jelly beans, and customized bubble bottles with white daisy-print paper bands affixed to the bottles with double-sided tape, and yellow streamers and balloons around the room.

Homemade Ornaments
Kids love making homemade ornaments to give as gifts or to place on the family tree. Pinecone ornaments are inexpensive homemade ornaments and they are easy for kids of most ages to decorate. Nature crafts offer a twofold experience when you have your child search for and select their very own pinecones as well as decorate them. Nature crafts get your child involved in the outdoors and are an excellent teaching opportunity.
Homemade Ornaments
If you do not live in an area where pinecones are readily available most grocery, hardware and craft stores sell quantities of scented pinecones at a reasonable cost. Pinecone ornaments can be decorated in many ways. Older children can spray paint the pinecones in gold or silver while younger children can roll the pinecone in glue and sprinkle gold or silver glitter for a similar effect. Tie holiday-colored ribbons to individual pinecones. Use a dab of white glue or a hot glue gun to glue beads between open scales to look like miniature ornaments.

Dress Up Party
For little girls, a dress up party is a fun birthday party theme. A dress up party gives young girls a chance to turn into Divas for a day. Decorate the party area with mirrors, streamers, bows, and lots of balloons. Have a transformation station where girls get to do their hair and makeup. While some girls are having their makeup done, other girls can work on fashion crafts like decorating flip flops or decorating their own fashion mirror.
Dress Up Party
Make these fashion crafts with sequins, jewels, glitter and craft glue to transform ordinary flip flops and hand mirrors into sparkling accessories. Hold a dress up fashion show using a white sheet as a backdrop and setting up chairs around the room. Have guests take turns being models, helpers and presenters. During the dress up fashion show the presenter describes the outfit the model is wearing and then becomes the next model.

Christmas Projects
Preschoolers love working on Christmas projects to keep their little hands busy. Christmas projects that involve a lacing craft gives your child fine motor skill practice as well as practice tying knots and bows. Lacing craft projects work with many materials (felt, poster board, or construction paper) and familiar shapes like Christmas stockings, Christmas Trees, stars, and bells. Adults can trace and cut out the shapes or allow the children to cut out their own during the craft project.
Christmas Projects
Use a paper punch to make holes around each shape (about 1 to 2 inches apart). Provide your child with a length of yarn or ribbon (wrap scotch tape around one end of the yarn, like a shoelace) to make it easier to thread through the holes. Practice tying bows or knots at the end of each craft project. Let your child use stickers, glitter, markers, etc. to finish decorating their Christmas projects.

Kids Art Projects
Use colored sand for kids art projects. Kids art projects made with colored sand open a whole new avenue of expression. Sand art is the creation of images, pictures, or designs in a bottle or even boxed glass frames made from different colors of sand. Sand art images, pictures, and designs are made using colored sand and a simple funnel. Children can make sand art pictures using colored sand in salt shakers to control the spread of the granules coming out of the bottle.
Kids Art Projects
To make this kids art project:
1. Use a craft knife to create a frame by cutting out the center of colored card stock or construction paper, leaving a 1-inch border.
2. Trim Contact paper so that it’s slightly smaller than the frame, then set the Contact paper face down and peel off the backing. Carefully lay the frame over the sticky surface and press it in place.
3. Pour the sand into the salt shakers, then put on the lids and cover some of the holes with tape. Give your child the bottles and let him or her pour the sand over the sticky surface. Dump off the extra sand as the space gets filled. When it is done, you can set a piece of clear Contact paper over the front to help preserve the design of this kids art project.
