Freezie Pop Holder Sleeve - Easy Crafts with Kids

Sleeves for Freezies
don't freeze your fingers!

Nothing too new here, I saw these freezie holders  / sleeves all around blogland like two years ago and just never got around to making...like a million other cool things I see on all the great blogs out there.  After finishing those milk and cream jugs so quickly, my little crafting sidekick wanted to make something else so we whipped these up next....better late than never!

We started with these scrap squares, there were about 4 inch squares..left overs from the corners of a tie blanket.
We used some of the smaller pink scraps and cut out letters...very rough...nothing professional! It was just some fun mommy daughter time!

 Folded the square in half and stiched a seam along the bottom and open side, leaving the top open...I cut the corner as pictured below...I don't know if it's really necessary though....Then flip them right-side-out---a good job for a little helper.  She also pre-folded in half them for me before sewing.

Then we used the glue gun and glued our letters on....And I don't know about you all, but I don't think I have EVER used my glue gun without burning myself..multiple times!
 

Nothing fancy, but as you can see, my product testers approve....

Easy Gifts for Kids

My 3.5 year old wanted to make some gifts for the girls who watch her at the gym child care and for 2 of the little girls that are are always there so we made some beaded jewelry together.  These are a really quick easy gift you can help your kids make, or they can make themselves depending on age and skill level.  My 3.5 year old def needed some help, but we enjoyed doing it together.

All you need is some elastic cord and some big beads.  I tied small knots on either end of the beads to keep them from sliding around on the strand.  We made bracelets and rings.  The rings are just 3 beads that go across the top of your finger.
