I Love to Create: Santa Baby Beards

DSC04408

Every month I get together with a bunch of mom friends for a little, baby play date and adult camaraderie. We rotate houses and this month it was my turn. Because it’s the holidays I thought it might be fun to set-up a craft table with the fixings for Santa Baby Beards. We set up a blanket with toys, rotated baby wrangling duties and whipped up a little holiday hilarity that perhaps, only a mama could love.

Try this craft in your own home either made for baby or by an older child. I’d be willing to wager if you leave a picture of your cutie-pie Kringles near the cookies for the Big Guy, he’ll leave an extra little something in his biggest fans stockings!

I mean seriously, look at the joy! This is what Christmas is all about; the merriment of babes.

Happy holidays!,

    Why aren’t there any cool moms like you in my neighborhood? I mean, the Amish ladies are nice but they don’t make awesome cotton ball baby beards!

    Happy Holidaze, Ms. Howell.
