Silly Hats

Silly Hats (3)

At 11 months old, you’ve probably noticed your baby has quite the sense of humor. So play it up with some silly “hats”!

I collected a pile of items, none of which were actually hats: a colander, a soft book, a pair of shorts, beach buckets, and a box.

One by one they went on my head. You can see from her expression that she knew mom was being silly. Here’s a big grin for the book.

She tried it on next, to lots more giggles. Oh Mom you’re so silly: there’s a bucket on your head!

The colander was a favorite.

She kept handing me this one over and over, as if demanding a repeat performance. But wasn’t so sure she wanted it on her own head…

The shorts got lots of laughs…

…as did a soft purple box.

She even seemed to want me to pile objects one on top of the other (because we all know moms wear many hats). What else could be a silly hat in your house? A tambourine?

Something even sillier? Have fun with this one!

Your Tops, Dad!

You're Tops Dad (4)

This easy project from High Five magazine is sure to delight the dads and grandpas in your life this Father’s Day!

Purchase blank white baseball caps, and let your child go wild with fabric markers. Travis had so much fun choosing colors, and deciding where the marker should go!

The only bit I added was a name on the brim and a #1 for his dad. Add a cap for any grandpas or other special father figures in your little one’s life!

The next step was a grown up one, but Travis loved watching; cover the the caps with a piece of white paper, and iron the caps. This will keep the marker from bleeding.

Wishing all the dads a Happy Father’s Day!
