Do you subscribe to Family Fun? Well, I have for years and this month I got three copies in the mail. I scratched my head and could not figure out why they sent me three–then I started flipping pages and remembered! One of my crafts is in Family Fun this month!

Remember our cardboard tube flowers? Family Fun contacted me a few months ago asking if they could use it and there it is!! Fun, huh?

Since this was Lydia’s first class Valentine’s Day party, we decided to make our own cards this year. And they turned out so cute because we painted with bubbles! Come see how it went down…er, popped up at the Tommy Nelson blog today!

At church today, one of the tweens I work with in our Large Group preschool environment was making duct tape flowers. I have a soft spot for duct tape and asked her to teach me how to make one. And she did. And now I’m showing you!

Isn’t that great? Just think of all the fun patterns, colors and shapes of flowers you could do! And I’m super impressed that even though Lydia did 98% of it herself, it still turned out adorable and does not look like a Kindergartner made it. For school, Lydia was assigned to make a Valentine for her principal–and this is what we’re sending! I think she’s gonna like it!

Have you ever made a duct tape craft?
