Rainbow Cupcakes

These were so much fun to make with the boys.

Rainbow Cupcakes with a cloud on top.

Super Easy:

Jut start off by putting your cake batter in six different bowls.

Than using food coloring dye each bowl a different color.

Just remember when you start putting the cake

batter into the cupcake liners, to put them in backwards.

Start off with a little purple on the bottom.

Than put a little blue on top of the purple.

Green . . .
Yellow. . .
Orange. . .
And finally finish it off with red.

After they were done baking.

Now for a few tips: aka Learn from my mistakes :)

1. Next time I would take the time to even out each layer,
so there is no green/ yellow peeking out on the top of my cupcakes.



2. put a little less of each color in, my very first batch was over flowing because I put way to much cake batter in. So I would fill one cupcake liner first before doing all 12 at once, so you know if you need to vary your amount at all.
Happy Baking !

Leprechauns

Whats St. Patricks Day without a Leprechaun or two ?
We started with a green square of construction paper, a black and green strip of construction paper, a yellow rectangle with the center cut out, tons of orange curls and a heavy duty paper plate.

First off I had the boys glue the green strip to

the bottom of the green square.
Than they glued the black strip on, and glued the yellow strip onto that to make a 'buckle'. Than have the little ones glue the hat onto the very top of the paper plate.

Adding some eyes.

After adding some eyes, put some glue on the bottom rim of the plate and let them get to work putting the beard on.

Lucky

Simple Last Minute Craft before St. Patricks Day.

I just took a piece of scrap wood we had in the garage

and spray painted it green.

While it was drying I used the Cricut to cut out my letters.

Mod Podge them onto the wood.

And decoreted the sides with a cute Shamrock

I picked up from Joannes for .59 cents.

I forgot to take a before picture but the Shamrock

had a wire attached to it, to hang up, but I cut the wire

and bow off and hot glued them to my wood.

Come back later for a really cute Kids Craft for St. Patricks Day

Rainbow Pancakes

Yesterday morning I surprised all three of my boys with

Rainbow pancakes !

They were super yummy and fun to make and eat.

I just separated the pancake mix into six different bowls and

added a few (5-7) drops of food coloring to each bowl :)

Paper Plate Rainbows

Who doesn't love Rainbows ? And who doesn't love crafts ?

So whats better than a Rainbow Craft !

We started out by folding a paper plate in half,

than cut out the inner circle.

Daddy thought it might be of help to the littlest man to

draw an outline and just have him color it in.

Than came in the

Red - Orange - Yellow - Green - Blue - Purple

Next came the clouds (cotton balls) . .

we glued two on each side of the rainbow.

After the glue was done dying,

I punched a hole in the top and strung a ribbon through.
