Craftykins // National Siblings Day Craft Project!

By Taylor Mead Leave a Comment

National Siblings Day

Our friend Carly is an ever clever mom and with this sweet little holiday approaching, she’s inspiring us with a fun and easy craft project to unite the kiddos! Let’s take a look:

National Siblings Day is coming up and it inspired me to pull together an art project that all three of our kids could tackle. For the longest time it’s just been the oldest two having fun together while the baby sits off to the side but now he’s getting old enough to join in and hold his own. It’s incredible to see how strong the bond is between these little people and I wanted to capture that somehow.

Time to Complete: 15 minutes

Project Supplies:

  • Poster Paper
  • Washable Poster Paint (3 or more colors)
  • Paint Tray or Wax Paper
  • Heavy object to hold down poster paper
  • Picture Frame of choice
  • Gold Metallic Pen (optional)

We ended up doing a big messy cooperative art project using things we already had around the house. I pulled out a roll of poster paper (seriously the best investment if you have tiny creators in your house), three colors of washable poster paint, some wax paper to put the paint on, and some cans of soup to hold the poster paper down while the kids worked. Each child got their own color because I wanted to be able to tell the handprints apart when they were finished, but other than that there were no rules.

Fifteen minutes and six painty hands later, the kids got a bath and I got a huge gorgeous piece of art to work with. After letting it dry, I picked out some of my favorite sections to frame. I used a gold pen to write the year and everyone’s names next to their handprints and then we scattered the pictures around our home. The kids love having framed art that they created in their rooms and I love that they have each have a little piece of something they made together.

Craftykins // Carrot Cupcakes

By Rachel Fox Kipphut, Contributor Leave a Comment

Babiekins Magazine || Carrot Cupcakes
We are getting ready for Easter over here in North Carolina and we LOVE Carrot Cake here at the Kipphut House. Easter is a great time to make carrot cake!
You don’t have to make your carrot cake from scratch ( if you can, you’re amazing!) but you can also buy a mix. I found some really yummy mixes from Homegoods the store. They were so good that I went back to get more, but they were all sold out.

I used a heart-shape silicon bake wear left over from Valentine’s day ( why not? lol) &
Red & Yellow Food Coloring to make my White Cream Cheese Frosting …. ORANGE!
I then took green construction paper and folded it in half. On the side without the crease, I cut fringes on the paper for the “carrot stem”.
Then I took a knife and made a slit at the top of the “heart” and stuck in the green paper stalk.
That’s it!
Enjoy!

Craftykins // Holiday DIY & Decor

By Rachel Fox Kipphut, Contributor 1 Comment

If you are looking for quick, fun , easy , and cheap ways to decorate your house this holiday….. then you have come to the right place! As a busy working Momma with two toddlers and a newborn, time and money is precious. I wanted to share a few ways that I was able to Ho Ho Ho my home without taking up too much time, and without breaking the bank.
Happy Holidays from the Kipphut Family!

1. Make Your Own Garland.

We made stars out of pipe cleaners and tied them to string. You could tie anything to string. Hand made snowflakes to store bought shapes and objects.

2. Wrap it up!

Decorating with Gift Wrap….We wrapped the inside of the faux chalkboard fireplace in the girl’s room. You can use it to wrap over doors, framed wall art, to cover the tops of tables, or even cut into shapes and put on the wall!

3. Put a Wreath on it!

Babiekins Magazine II Craftykins Holiday DIY
I bought this real Boxwood Wreath for under $10.00 from Trader Joe’s. I added an ornament from Target and some Ribbon ( left over from my wedding years ago, awwwww) and TaDaa! A special wreath for your front door.
If you are an advanced crafter, you could even make your own wreaths. You could use store bought items to make a wreath or found and foraged items from your back yard! I used real Boxwood to make mini Boxwood wreaths for all of our windows and some walls. It definitely took longer to make these than I wanted but the end result was totally worth it. I also threw in a cute little photo of my son Ethan.

4. No Gift Wrap ? No Problem!

Wrap gifts with paper items around your home. I used a Trader Joe’s paper grocery bag and used/old “stendig ” calendar pages. Top them off with something fun , like some free greenery from your yard to some store bought pom-poms and then you got yourself some fun gifts from re-purposed items and paper!

5. Throw it up! Some garland that is.

Real or fake…. it doesn’t matter. If you want to get fancy, wrap it in lights! Also, enjoy a pic of some cuties.

6.Christmas Past ….

Decorate by framing or displaying past Holiday photos or new photos if you have them already. They can even just be winter photos. I hope you all enjoyed these little tips. Wishing you and yours a very happy Holiday Season! Happy Crafting! LOVE , The Kipphuts

Craftykins // Animal Tic Tac Toe To Go

By Rayna Marlee Leave a Comment

Babiekins Magazine | Animal Tic Tac Toe To Go1
This fun jungle inspired Animal Tic Tac Toe To Go is perfect to pack for a summer road trip, park dates, or even an indoor rainy afternoon. Aiden and Maddie loved playing together and were so good at taking turns.

Get creative and use any toys your kids can’t put down like Lego pieces or mini cars or forgo the toys all together and use what you find in nature (flowers, pinecones, or pebbles). Maybe try playing using cookies or packed snacks (yum… but don’t eat them until you’re done playing!) Carry this Tic Tac Toe To Go blanket with you all summer long (I know I will be) and have fun!

Materials:
-outdoor fabric (I chose a fun animal print)
-ribbon (make sure the colour/pattern contrasts with the fabric)
-small toy animals (ten in total)
-paint (two different colours – you can use acrylic or spray paint)
-paint brush
-scissors
-glue gun
(or fabric glue)

Babiekins Magazine | Animal Tic Tac Toe To Go Materials

Step 1:
Cut the fabric into a large square.

Step 2:
Cut four pieces of ribbon that are all the same length.

Step 3:
Place the ribbon in a “hashtag” shape and glue using glue gun.

Step 4:
Paint the toy animals – five in one colour and five in the other colour.

Step 5:
Ta da! Time to play – who wins?

Craftykins // Summer Leaf Decor

By Rachel Fox Kipphut, Contributor Leave a Comment

The more time I spend at home with my two toddlers, the more I have a desire to have fresh flowers around the house. When my sunflowers on the table finally wilted after two weeks, I decided to bring some greenery in from the backyard to fill the void. I took the girls with me on an “adventure” to find the perfect branches. Not only did we decorate areas of the house with branches in vases, but we decided to take it a step further and frame some as Wall Decor. Any leaves should hold between glass floating frames. You can find them at Target or your local craft store. If you are looking for a particular leaf , you can also use faux leaves. And why stop at leaves? You can frame flowers and more from your nature walks with your little ones!

Craftykins // July Fourth Garland

By Rachel Fox Kipphut, Contributor Leave a Comment

Babikeins Magazine // Craftykins Fourth of July
A few Christmases ago, we were with friends that always handmade all their own decorations. Together we ended up making a giant red, green and white paper chain that went around the entire room. From that moment on , I vowed to try and make holiday decor instead of purchasing them at a store . It cuts back on costs, storage space and is fun to make! Plus you have the added memories of making them. The Fourth of July in the US is upon us, and the girl’s and I came up with a super cute Red, White, and Blue Abstract Shape Garland. No need for perfect shapes, the fun is cutting out random squares and rectangles. A perfect project for your little ones. All you need is glue, string and construction paper. We also made a “crown” with some left over scraps that the girl’s took turns wearing. We enjoyed celebrating a little early in the girl’s room with our new super fun and colorful Independence Day decor! Happy Fourth of July!

Copyright © 2021 · Babiekins Magazine | A Trendsetting Kids' Fashion Magazine and Online Community for Parents and Children Alike · Since the Southern California birth of Babiekins in 2010, the magazine has grown from into an internationally-recognized print publication with a global circulation and now a thriving online community. We are more than a kids’ fashion magazine. We search everywhere for inspiration, and go beyond trends to bring you fashion, style, decor, design, books, DIY, parties, and playthings. Our readers look to us to keep up with the best and most up-to-date concepts in the children’s market worldwide. We have an eye for quirk. We’re high-fashion, but we value whimsy over tradition. Playful childhood is more important to us than making kids into copycat adults. We believe life is beautiful, life is valuable, and life changes when you see it through the eyes of a child. We seek to transcend skin color, language and zip codes and bring out the real, wild, magical creativity inherent in every child. And behind Babiekins is an optimistic team of mothers-turned-editors, working from home, often with our own little babiekins climbing on, under and around the desks. We want to encourage you, and challenge you to see something different — something special — in yourself and in this world we all share. Welcome to Babiekins!
