Winter Fun!

So, if you are like me and many other mothers for that matter you're counting down the days until you can load up the littles and make a trip to the local park in the warm sunny weather! It's so hard to pass the days when it's too cold to go outside and play.
I thought today I'd give you an idea of what we do when we just need SOMETHING to do.
The Insiders Scoop-Winter Crafts
Today you'll be making a colorful winter sun catcher!
  • First take a muffin pan and fill the cups half-way with water.
  • Next drop in a few drops of food coloring to each cup. The more colors the better.
  • Place the muffin pan in the freezer until completely frozen.
  • Next fill a pie pan 1/3 full of water.
  • Get the frozen muffin pan out and crack them into the pie pan.
  • Insert a cup(we used a sippy) half-full of water into the pie pan to be used later.



  • Once all the ice cubes are in the pie plate fill until all cubes are covered with water.
  • Freeze several hours or overnight.
  • Dip pie plate in warm water for only a moment then pop out.
  • Remove cup.
  • Use hole to hang with ribbon.
  • Hang from tree and watch the beautiful colors come to life.



It will actually last a few days especially if it's really cold.=)
