Pop on over to the idea room for more details on this craft idea.

Fathers Day Craft idea #2

Today we are going to be making a simple magnetic Shirt and Tie bookmark for Dad using the Martha Stewart template.



I love this printout as it is a quick and simple craft.





To find the templates for the bookmarks, please click the link to head over to the Martha Stewart website.


Once you have printed out your templates onto cardstock, cut out and have the children glue magnets onto insides of both the front and back of the shirt.

Bubbles, bubbles and more bubbles today by request. It was a beautiful sunny day so we made the most of the fresh air and sunshine and headed outdoors for some bubble fun. I had misplaced the bubble blowers so I used my creative imagination and made some out of zip ties. They worked a treat.
