I just want to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and share with you my first gift of the holiday season {proud mom moment}. My kindergartner surprised me on Tuesday with a hand-painted tile. He explained it to be a hot plate, but I’ll never put anything hot near it (and my hubby better not either!). It’s just too lovely. Plus, the back has an outline of his little hand and his signature!
He explained to me the process and the tools you’ll need:
- smooth white glossy tile from the home improvement store
- Sharpie markers
- spray sealent (Update per his teacher: Krylon Crystal Clear Acrylic Coating)
- marbles for the feet
- wood glue (Update per his teacher: she attached the marbles with regular wood glue)
How tos as explained by my six-year-old. {wink}
- Draw your favorite picture with Sharpies {I of course am in love with his snowman and snowflakes}
- Spray the picture (with sealant) and let it dry
- Attach marbles for the feet
- Write your name on the back (and outline their little hand so you can always remember how small they are)
And now you have a precious keepsake! I have to write his teacher a sweet note because this is one of those things I’ll have in my “happy box” and proudly diplay every year for the rest of my life, much to his chagrin in his teen years I’m sure. {giggle}
Merry Christmas to you and yours! Talk with you all next week and as always, I hope you’re inspired!
