I also followed Maren's idea of a double sided skirt. It was so fun and simple to make and my almost 4 yr. old has worn hers 4 days straight now (she does switch sides each day though). I know it needs to be washed, but its just so fun to see her appreciate and enjoy it. My 2 year old loves hers but has a hard time with spilling and is in the final stages of potty training. I think skirts are a good idea for potty training girls b/c they're so easy to pull up and down, but girls that age aren't aware of appropriate behavior in dresses, so I'll probably have her wear shorts underneath anyway. I'm planning on making them each another one for spring day too, only the next one will have sparkles. wowzer!
Jess! Those are so cute! I do love the reversible skirts. So fun!
ReplyDeleteI love the tool belts! That's a fun idea to make them cleaning aprons!
ReplyDeleteLove the tool belts Jess. When I have a girl, I'm totally making them reversible skirts too. Too fun.
ReplyDeleteso do you not call them Easter baskets since it detracts from Christ?
ReplyDeleteRight Celia. My family had spring day the day before Easter growing up and that's when we did the egg hunts, etc. and then on Sunday we focused on Christ and his resurrection, etc. I found a cool book a few years ago called "A Christ-Centered Easter" by Janet and Joe Hales that I really like and it gives ideas for the entire Easter week to celebrate for little kids, or teenagers, etc. I like the idea of making the whole week special and remembering Christ's last week. I like any reason to extend and enlarge holidays :) especially ones that are this special.
ReplyDeleteThe cleaning belt is a fun idea, Jess. You could put water spray bottles and microfiber rags in them. I'm interested in the Easter book you mentioned. Even though Ruth knows that Easter has nothing to do with bunnies she still talks more about that and eggs filled with candy than other things.
