Thanks to Holly of for this creative craft idea for children for the 25 Days of Christmas series.
When I was a kid we use to make Stain “Glass” Windows by shaving different colored crayons in between wax paper sheets then placing between 2 towels and ironing (warming) on a low setting. We would then make windows from construction paper and glue the wax paper sheets in between them or just cut the sheets into shapes like Christmas trees, bells, candy canes etc. and use a hole punch and ribbon to hang them on the tree or stick them on the windows with invisible scotch tape where the colors would show beautifully when the sun shined through them!

More Holiday Savings
No matter how much my children grow, they never seem to tire of bubbles. Even your average, everyday bubbles thrill them for hours. We like to get creative with our bubbles though just to see what happens. Sometimes we end up with some awesome bubbles, while others times it’s a complete bust (literally!).
Homemade Bubble Solution Recipe
I know bubble solution is cheap, but it will never perform as well as homemade. Just trust me on this.
You may need to adjust the recipe slightly, depending on if you have hard or soft water and what type of dish soap you use, but experimenting is half the fun. If you realize your solution isn’t perfect, no need to start over. Just pour it a little more of whatever you think you need!
One of my favorite things to do during the Spring/Summer months is to play, sing and dance in the rain. It’s FREE, it’s fun and the kids LOVE it. But we haven’t had any sun showers recently and I have been itching to go play in the rain. There are some common sense rules for when we can go out and play: the temperature has to be warm and there can’t be any lightening.
Doesn’t sound a bit like these storms we have been getting lately! And since the kids love it so much, every time it rains they ask if we can go out in it, and each time I am forced to tell them no because of the lightening. But after one of the storms yesterday the backyard looked like a swamp and the sun started shining! After a quick look at the radar, I realized we had maybe an hour or two before the next storm was set to roll in so we took advantage of our swamp land in the backyard.

The Disney Fairies are one of my daughter’s favorite Disney characters (right there with the Disney Princesses, of course), because they are crafty, silly, and so beautiful. They love the short videos that play on Disney Channel during commercial time, giving them a peak into Pixie Hallow. They are quick, but always hysterical.
Walmart is diving into the world of Pixie Hallow with three FREE exclusive Pixie Hallow previews that are as entertaining as the others, featuring Rosetta, the Southern belle garden fairy who stole my heart in The Pixie Hallow Games by proving she had a bit of edge. Just in time for warmer weather, Rosetta is teaching a “Flowers, Not Just for Garden Fairies” for some of our favorite Disney Fairies, including Tinkerbell.
While you’re there, Walmart is also offering FREE Disney Fairy Crafts for fairy fans of all ages including:
