Pirate Growth Chart

February 25, 2019 by Kelly Dedeaux

My boys are really into Jake & The Neverland Pirates right now. Well, for like the past YEAR. They sing the songs all day long, they call each other one of the characters, and are always fighting Hook the ‘Sneakety Snook’. Way cute! (originally shared January 2014)
Pirate Growth Chart
I’ve been wanting to do a growth chart for awhile, and have stressed about it more and more since my kids are already growing so much. I’m going to miss all their little growth spurts! So what better for them than an adorable (yet simple and budget friendly) DIY Pirate Growth Chart?!
Supplies
6′ tall board – $13
Small canister stain – $8 (I used English Chestnut)
Small canister sealant – $8 (I used clear semi-gloss)
Vinyl for letters and lines – $8
Vinyl for Pirate shapes – $4
Directions
Take your plain board, lay it on something you don’t mind painting on. Choose an area with good ventilation, too, since the stain and sealant smell STRONG. You’ll also need to leave it in place for awhile to dry, so keep that in mind.
Apply the stain according to canister directions. I did two coats on mine. Be sure to allow it to dry completely before adding the sealant, then after applying the sealant before handling.
I then starting adding the vinyl. I chose to do bone shapes for my FOOT lines, so started by measuring and applying those. I did start with 1′ six inches from the bottom, since I’ll attach the board to the wall six inches off the ground.
Then the ‘fun’ part, measuring out each inch. Tiny vinyl lines are not my friends!
Pirate Growth Chart
There’s your ‘almost’ complete board!
Pirate Growth Chart
Now you have the option of applying fun Pirate shapes and fun things: skulls, swords, flags, ships, steering wheels, bandanna caps. Or phrases like ‘Ahoy Matey’ or ‘Yo Ho Yo Ho’ or ‘Walk the Plank’. Have fun with it!
Pirate Growth Chart

I can’t wait to track my little Pirate Mateys on this fun growth chart!!!

Printable Valentine Superhero Bookmarks

February 11, 2019 by Kelly Dedeaux

Printable Valentine Superhero Bookmarks

I’m all for encouraging reading in my kiddos, so fun bookmarks can be a huge help. With the upcoming holiday where they’ll exchange tons of Valentine’s with their classes and friends, these Printable Valentine Superhero Bookmarks are just the ticket for the little (or big) hero in your family!

Printable Valentine Superhero Bookmarks

We also have a girl superhero version available HERE

There are 3 designs, and they print on an 8.5×11 sheet. I highly recommend printing it onto cardstock paper so it’s more durable. My kids like to fiddle with their bookmarks while reading, so they sure get worn out fast. I’ve found that laminating them really helps the superhero bookmarks to last longer – and less paper trash from ripped edges 🙂

Download the Valentine Superhero Bookmarks Here

My boys can’t wait to give these out for Valentine’s Day at their schools! We’re printing a bunch, then tying ribbon in the hole at top (just use a hole punch, super easy) – then they’re all set to go! And can I just say I’m THRILLED that my kids are old enough to sign their own names on their Valentines – I can’t imagine having to ‘help’ with the name on every single superhero bookmark for their whole class!

Printable Mickey Numbers & Letters

Free Printable Mickey Letters & Numbers #disney #mickeymouse #banner #printable #freeprintable #mickeyletters #mickeynumbers

I love Wednesdays, because they’re my designated ‘Disney Day’ where I share all sorts of Disney-themed tips, ideas, printables, you get the idea. Today I’ve got a really fun Free Printable Mickey Numbers & Letters sheet for you – great to use as a banner, cupcake toppers, a cut-out announcement, and so much more!

Free Printable Mickey Letters & Numbers #disney #mickeymouse #banner #printable #freeprintable #mickeyletters #mickeynumbers

Planning a Disney vacation? Get awesome prices at Get Away Today – use Promo Code: BusyMomsHelper

There’s 1 sheet each – one for letters and the other for numbers. It’s designed to print onto an 8.5×11 sheet, but you can adjust it when printing if you want your pieces to be smaller in size. You can try enlarging them so you can have bigger letters or numbers, but I can’t guarantee the resolution quality (how blurry it may be). The numbers sheet has 1-9, and the letters one has the whole alphabet – plus a cute little Mickey Mouse dude on the side.

DIY New Year’s Eve Shakers

November 27, 2018 by Kelly Dedeaux

DIY New Year's Eve Shakers #newyears #newyear2019 #diy #craft #kids #kidscraft #newyearsparty #parties

I’ll admit, we use to do more of a ‘party’ as a family for New Year’s Eve when we lived in Utah. There’d be tons of food, some fireworks in the road in front of the house, and countdowns (one of the kids, one of the adults) – I loved it! The past few years we’ve been much more mellow, watching some movies together then going to bed before midnight. Blah! This year, we’re hoping to do more with our kids – letting them stay up, doing more activities, and really enjoying our time together (and hopefully sleep in). These DIY New Year’s Eve Shakers will be a fun addition to create AND celebrate with!

DIY New Year's Eve Shakers #newyears #newyear2019 #diy #craft #kids #kidscraft #newyearsparty #parties

I know, they’re going to be NOISY – but letting the kids make some crazy noise after the ball drop is a rare treat that we can deal with. I can only imagine how excited they’ll be, and their smiled will be worth the few minutes of shakers 🙂

DIY New Year's Eve Shakers #newyears #newyear2019 #diy #craft #kids #kidscraft #newyearsparty #parties

Supplies

  • 8 Empty Keurig Cups
  • 4 Dowel Rods or Popsicle Sticks
  • Popcorn Kernels
  • Washi Tape (Any Colors/Designs)
  • Scissors

DIY New Year's Eve Shakers #newyears #newyear2019 #diy #craft #kids #kidscraft #newyearsparty #parties

Directions

  1. Decorate the outside of each Keurig cup with the tape. Create your own designs and have fun with it!
  2. Fill one cup about ½ full with popcorn kernels.
  3. Place another cup on top and wrap washi tape around the middle, securing them together. Go around 2-3 times.
  4. Take your dowel rod or popsicle stick and place it on the back. Secure it with 3-4 strips of washi tape.
  5. Now, they are ready to shake and have fun!!

Star Wars Printable Cupcake Toppers

May 22, 2019 by Kelly Dedeaux

Star Wars Printable Cupcake Toppers #printable #freeprintable #starwars #starwarsprintable #cupcaketoppers #starwarsparty #printablecupcaketopper

Star Wars was a huge part of my childhood, and marrying a fellow fan resulted in our kids being raised this way as well. Of course, instead of just the originals, our kids get to enjoy the newer films AND side stories like Star Wars Rebels, expanding that world even further. I love sharing this with my family, so it’s only natural we’d love having themed parties or cupcake decorations just for the heck of it! Now you can join in with these Free Star Wars Printable Cupcake Toppers – and they’re not just great for cupcakes, but also for dangly decor, stickers and so much more!

Star Wars Galaxy's Edge

If you’ve enjoyed our previous Star Wars printables – such as stick puppets or the soda bottle gift set  – then these are probably right up your alley! I love how these ones are not only colorful and adorable, but have a little spunk to each of the characters.

Star Wars Printable Cupcake Toppers #printable #freeprintable #starwars #starwarsprintable #cupcaketoppers #starwarsparty #printablecupcaketopper

There’s quite a variety of your favorite CLASSIC characters – Yoda, Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, Darth Vader, C3P0 and R2D2. There’s even one with my favorite couple in the galaxy, Han and Leia together!

Star Wars Printable Cupcake Toppers #printable #freeprintable #starwars #starwarsprintable #cupcaketoppers #starwarsparty #printablecupcaketopper

To use as a cupcake topper, just cut out and tape to either lollipop sticks or toothpicks then stick into your cupcakes. Easy peasy!

Star Wars Printable Cupcake Toppers #printable #freeprintable #starwars #starwarsprintable #cupcaketoppers #starwarsparty #printablecupcaketopper

They print nicely onto 8.5×11 size paper (I recommend printing onto cardstock for durability), making them roughly 1.5-2″ (ish) in diameter. You can print into a smaller size if you’re looking for tinier circles, of course.

Star Wars Printable Cupcake Toppers #printable #freeprintable #starwars #starwarsprintable #cupcaketoppers #starwarsparty #printablecupcaketopper

Another idea is to tape them to streamers or gift wrap ribbon to hang around for decorations. Maybe as a backdrop for a ‘photo booth’ spot during a party?

Star Wars Printable Cupcake Toppers #printable #freeprintable #starwars #starwarsprintable #cupcaketoppers #starwarsparty #printablecupcaketopper

Another unique idea is to print of two of the sheets, cut them out – then do a Star Wars themed memory game. It’s a great way to keep littles entertained for a bit, plus work on their memory AND fine motor (flipping over little circles) skills!

Y’all know that we’re one of those crazy, Disney-loving families that have taken our kids during all sorts of ages and heights. I was so excited when my youngest finally reached 42″, because we could then go on ALMOST every single ride! Woot woot! For those travelling with younger ones that may require extra attention to what they can and can’t go on, here’s some super fun Free Printable Disneyland Height Requirements – plus a sheet for California Adventure, as well! And yes, they’ve been updated with the changes to Pixar Pier 🙂

Disneyland Height Requirements

As we get ready for our Disney trips, we have fun with our DIY Disney Countdown, as well as prepare our kids for what rides they can or can’t go on due to any height restrictions. I think that by being prepared, we can help avoid more meltdowns at the parks, making it the best Disney vacation ever! On these printables, you’ll find some favorite characters from each of the parks – like Mike & Sulley for the California Adventure sheet! I couldn’t resist also including Dusty, since he’s one of my boys’ absolute FAVS!

Toy Story Alien Craft #toystory #disney #kidcraft #disneycraft #aliencraft #disneydiy #toystoryland #alien

Y’all know how much our family loves Disney, right? Well, putting together a fun Disney craft for kids was a great way to celebrate the opening of the new Toy Story Land at Walt Disney World. In anticipation of our visit there later this year, we made this Toy Story Alien Craft – a great activity for a lazy afternoon!

Toy Story Alien Craft #toystory #disney #kidcraft #disneycraft #aliencraft #disneydiy #toystoryland #alienAren’t they cute? We’re all excited to check out the new Toy Story Land during our trip – the Alien ride looks really fun, but we’re especially eager to try out Slinky Dog Dash! I’m sure y’all know how patient kids are when leading up to a vacation (note the sarcasm there), so why not give them a little Disney creating while they wait with this awesome Alien craft?

Eager for your own Disney vacation? Check out Get Away Today for the best deals! Promo Code: BusyMomsHelper

Supplies

  • Black Glitter Foam Paper
  • Black Marker

Toy Story Alien Craft #toystory #disney #kidcraft #disneycraft #aliencraft #disneydiy #toystoryland #alien

Directions

  1. Take your green paper plate and cut it in half with your scissors. You will instantly have an Alien shaped head. Grab that glue stick and glue three eyes onto each Alien.
  2. Now take another green paper plate and draw/cut out an Alien antenna. When you have two Alien antennas, take your glue stick and glue an antenna onto each Alien.
  3. While your eyes and antennas are drying, take your black sparkle foam paper and cut out four Alien ears. Glue those ears onto your Aliens
  4. Now for the fun part! Take your black marker and draw a mouth on each Alien. I suggest practicing on a blank piece of paper to perfect your technique before drawing on your plate.
  5. Enjoy your two fun new Alien friends!

Told you it was super easy – and it’s likely that you have at least some of the supplies on hand already. Maybe not BIG googly eyes or green paper plates, but you can easily buy or order those. Then you’re all set for some Toy Story Alien crafting.

Supporting our kids at home can really help their success at school, especially as they get older and into higher, more challenging grades. One way we can provide that help to them is having things organized in a way that makes homework and study time less hassle – and maybe even more fun. We put together this organized and colorful Homework Station for Teens & Tweens as we’re getting nearer to the start of the school year, and stocking up on all of the essentials. We’re even showing you how to make this super simple DIY Pencil Caddy!

Back to school shopping can be stressful, which is why I make sure to plan ahead and go early before the rush. Walmart always has what I need in just one stop, which is a huge sanity saver! Not only that, but be sure to check out their specific Back-to-School section so you don’t have to wander all over the store to grab everything you need for your students.

From my experience, teacher supplies lists can be a bit generic – which is fantastic in finding what you need and covering all the basis – but be sure to stock up on the items you’ll certainly need plenty of for the school year, such as Scotch® tape or Post-it® Original Pop-up Notes. I go through a TON of them all year long, and love that I can keep a good stash of them to pull out whenever.

My tweens have started using Post-it® Notes Cubes and Post-it® Tabs a lot, using them to mark pages in their books (without the worry of leaving marks) or planners to help them stay on track and more organized. Of course they LOVE leaving little memos and friendly notes all over, too – but I’m all for it if it makes learning time more fun for them!

Note: If you’re using a box, make sure the top flaps are removed first.

Directions

  1. Decorate the box/container. For ours, we just used some sturdy paper (like construction or card stock). Your teen/tween can even decorate it beforehand, if they want! Start with a strip on the four outside corners, just so they are covered neatly. Next, size pieces of paper to cover all the outside sides of the box. Fold over the top and bottom and smooth out, then use Scotch® Super Hold Tape to secure it into place. Homework Station for Teens & Tweens with DIY Pencil Caddy Tutorial #ad #BackToSchoolGoals18 #homework #teens #school
  2. If you want some depth to for your containers, use tissue paper to build up the bottom (we put the back row of containers higher than the front, just because we liked the look of it better). Homework Station for Teens & Tweens with DIY Pencil Caddy Tutorial #ad #BackToSchoolGoals18 #homework #teens #school
  3. Place your containers, then fill with all of your student’s school supplies!

See, I told you it was really simple – and it’s a great way for them to customize their supply box, making it a bit more enjoyable when it’s time for them to tackle homework or study. We filled our containers with pencils and other supplies to help them, then set up a nice area for them to store it until needed.

I’m pretty relieved that I thought ahead this year instead of waiting until the last minute – but at least I know I can always grab everything my kiddos will need for back to school during my regular Walmart trip – because I almost always forget something!
