A Rain Drop Cushion | Craft for Kids

Image
With the school hols coming up in a week in my neck of the woods, and with many of my friends up in the Northern Hemisphere on Summer hols- I thought it perfect timing to share a quick lovely kids craft or two. {Perfect is over-rated with kids craftiness!} Simple fun projects that you can build on depending on the age of your child. Basing them on the age of our youngest {she's primary school age} I'm sharing crafts that I do at home with the kids, and crafts that our eldest {year 10 High School} takes to a whole new level. This *Rain Drop Cushion* takes no time at all- and is SUPER cute! It can be easily sewn by hand, or on a machine {depending on the age of your kids}. You can add sleeping eyes...a sweet little yawning mouth- or leave it as is. The less perfect it is, the more your child has actually worked on this lovely project- us mama's who love a little craftiness ourselves, really truly need to let imperfect be the catch cry on this one! Believe me,  your babi...

Alice In Wonderland - Painting The Roses Red | Story and Lyrics

Image
Painting The Roses Red Painting the Roses Red is a song featured in Disney's 1951 animated feature film, Alice in Wonderland. Sung by the Queen of Hearts' card soldiers (specifically the Ace, Two, and Three of Clubs) when Alice first enters the garden. The cards try to explain to Alice that they are painting the roses red because the Queen likes those and they planted white ones by mistake. Unfortunately for them, the Queen catches on to their ruse due to a single poorly painted rose, and has them beheaded anyway. Painting the Roses Red Story At the beginning of chapter eight, Alice stumbles upon three gardeners who are painting the previously white roses red. I spent some time thinking about why Carroll would have the gardeners painting the roses red. Eventually, I remembered the War of Roses that took place from 1455 to 1485 in England. The late fifteenth century was a period political turmoil in England. Following the Hundred Years’ War, two houses began fighting for the thr...
