A Recycled Playmate - Slithering Mitten :)

kutti "r"s new born mittens and socks are a sweet reminder...But how many of them do I save?
So I found a new playmate for him...
This is an easy to do craft.
Take an old sock or a mitten.
Stick a pair of googly eyes (It its a monster - go crazy with the eyes :)
Cut a small hole at the closed end of the sock.
Insert the pipe cleaner to resemble the tongue. Roll it...Bend it...Twist it...
Now play push and pull :)

You have a cute little playmate ready in a jiffy!

Artsy Craftsy Mom- One more please....



Googly eyes - Easy to make bookmarks

I simply love making bookmarks and I find every chance to do some.
Here are a few samples that are kid friendly!
 The deer bookmark is also a playmate for kutti "r" and me. We do a little memory game, a guessing game and a hide and seek game...kutti "r" calls them 'maan' and 'pulli maan' (Tamizh for deer and spotted deer)
These colourful monsters can get dressed up in different colours and can take up different moods...Just dont throw your ice-cream sticks away!

Artsy Craftsy Mom - We have got a whole load of googly eyes craft and we got it coming your way :)

The Birthday Party - Invitation (Last but not the least)

Looks like I am doing the reverse loop in documenting kutti "r" s birthday party. One consolation is that I am finally doing it and as long as the blogger lives, this post will live :)
The seed for the birthday theme started with this book...
We had got kutti "r" this book when he was 6 months young! He seemed to like it right from the time we picked the book at the Landmark store. We were surprised to see his baby face lit up when we said the word "Alien" and from then on until he turned 13 months old, our room, the doors, the toys, the books carried aliens in different forms, shapes and colours :)

The creative horses ran wild and I went alien crazy and made sure that when kutti "r" looks back at his first birthday pictures he would remember the love he had for aliens and the love mumma had for him :)

Artsy Craftsy Mom - We have another one of the googly eyes for you :)

The Birthday Post - just for Artsy Craftsy April 2012

It's almost 6 months since kutti "r"s 1st birthday and I still haven't found the time to document it completely.
With the AC Challenge for this month being "googly eyes", I couldn't help but quickly add all that I did for the birthday theme.
kutti "r"s fascination for aliens can be seen here and here and here and here and HERE!
