And now for something really, really fun. I saw these solid yellow beach balls and they were begging to be made into emojis! So I grabbed my oil paint pens and we went to work. I picked the faces I use the most on Instagram - and then threw in that Miley Cyrus one because it's just too funny. This would be a great project to make with the kids and they will have a blast with them in the pool or at the beach! I can't wait to jump in a pool with these guys. So fun!

To make them, be sure your beach balls are clean then paint on the faces with your paint pens! Seriously so, so simple. It helps to use slow and steady strokes to color in the spaces. Let them dry and start playing!

I know, I know. It's such an over-done saying, but once I had the idea in my head it just had to be done! I love themed gifts and these chocolates and printable card totally fit the bill for Mother's day. Wouldn't your mom like to be told she's the bomb? I thought so. You can download the card (front and inside), and you can even have the kids color it to add a colorful and personal touch. When you print out the card, print out the front, then flip it over and print off the inside. Easy, fast and she's sure to love it!

To make the candy bombs, I used the same method for making surprise balls. Cut some strips of crepe paper, trim off the ends of the Lindor chocolates, wrap the crepe paper around the chocolates and tape it down. I used floral wire for the fuses. Just cut off a tiny bit and tape it down before you wrap your last layer of crepe paper on! So easy and it worked perfectly. Now go and blow your mom away with such a thoughtful and fun card and gift.
