Mystery Letters: Fun Summer Activity!


 Hi there, it’s me again!

Summer is finally here, and it’s time for some fun summer activities! Whether it’s a younger sibling, a kid your babysitting, or someone else, little kids (and anyone really) love getting letters!

Here is an activity you can do to keep them entertained. (Bonus: it’s fun for you too!) Depending on the kid’s age, you can take different approaches. Older kids aren’t gonna be fooled - they’ll know you sent the mystery letter - but they can still have the fun of sending notes to you! But ‘middle’ kids - kindergarteners to second graders - will not be so quick to find out who is sending the mysterious letters. They will have a ton of fun figuring out who it is! Younger kids - like toddlers and preschoolers - won’t care about the mystery as much. For them, you can send envelopes of coloring pages and pages of stickers!

You don’t have to actually send the letters with postage and all. I just stick the letters in the mailbox!

I hope you have fun with this activity!

See you around,                                                               -Lili

Artist Trading Cards DIY!




Hi there! You can look ATCs up on the internet, but basically they are small cards of art. Today I made a really simple ATC with a Cottagecore theme. 

Here are some photos;

                                                   Just starting 

                                  Added a little piece of paper I drew a pattern on

The finished card! (I made it pretty simple)

See you around!                                                               -Lili

Thrift Store Finds! :D





 Hello my dear readers! Yesterday I went to two thrift stores: Goodwill and ARC. I love thrift stores, they are such gems, and you can find a lot of great stuff! I bought one item from each thrift store.

I found this beautiful shawl from Goodwill! It works great as a scarf, or a cloak - and more!


 

I found this adorable apothecary at ARC! Isn’t it cute?

That’s all for now, see you around!      -Lili
