Stay at Home-ista: Jack-O-Lantern Mickey Mouse Family

Sometimes I'm the one in charge of entertaining our kindergartener on?the?weekend afternoons when the two little ones are napping and my husband is out for a bike ride. Instead of throwing on the TV, which I am tempted to do more and more, I just pull out the crafting supplies and we make fun, silly things together.

Since Halloween is right around the corner, we decided to make a "family portrait" out of Mickey Mouse faces.

At the time (last weekend) that's what we were going to dress up as. Of course, that has changed 4 days later...

I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out a family of Mickey heads from?card stock, although you could totally do this with scissors:)

Using some of the Mod Podge, I brushed a canvas we had lying around, then let my daughter put the faces on.

More Mod Podge on top.

Then we added the pink bows for the girls.

I tried to decide if we should put full-on pumpkins on top,

Nope.

And the jack-o-lantern faces.

One of?the?important things about crafting with kids is to just let?them?do it, not try to be too much of a perfectionist, otherwise it takes all the joy away (from them, not from you).

Then I popped it up on our kitchen mantle, just waiting to have a few more kid crafts added to it this season.
