Crafty Day

Today I finally got around to making the foam bath toys I've been meaning to make for the boys. Basically I just bought some foam sheets from Michaels and cut out some shapes and letters. I thought about doing the whole alphabet but settled instead for just the boys' names. I didn't exactly feel up to cutting out THAT many letters!


The letters and shapes were a hit! Kaed loved them. He had a grand time sticking them to the sides of the bath, and the walls, and himself! I'll have to make up a few more sets for my friends kids considering I still have a huge stack of foam sheets left.








I also decided to spiff up my wipes container. I recently put a huggies plastic container in my bathroom filled with rags so that I can just quick wet them before I use them to wipe the boys' bums... it looked better than just having a stack of rags sitting on the counter, but still looked pretty tacky. I wasn't a huge fan of the peter pan pattern for our bathroom. Soooo, I took the container and some scrapbook paper I liked, along with some brown paint and modge podged it all together! I took a picture but it's kinda fuzzy, and to be honest I'm just too tired to take another one and upload it right now so fuzzy you get!

Those foam letters are awesome! I'll have to make some. Tristyn take like a 45 min bath some nights so I'm sure she would love that.

Great idea! I bet Kaed had a blast with those. And I like what you've done with the place. :)
