25 Days of Easy Crafts for Toddlers & Preschoolers

Day 3

Today’s craft is a fun one! We made several sets of these coasters last year for Christmas presents. They are amazingly easy and super fun to customize how you like! They don’t even have to be made in a Christmas theme. We chose to print our picture rather than use scrapbook paper. Since I don’t have a color printer, I chose to find a black and white picture in a Christmas theme. I’m thrilled with how they turned out!

Christmas Coasters

Supplies:

4” tiles (can buy for about 20 cents at Lowes or Home Depot)
scrapbooking paper in Christmas colors/designs
Mod Podge
Hot Glue Gun
Sponge Paint Brush for Mod Podge
Cork or Felt pieces for bottom of tiles
Sealer Spray (to protect them from moisture)

Directions:

1. Cut Scrapbook Paper just smaller than the tile (We found a black and white Christmas picture to print as I don’t have a color printer).

2. Glue on with Mod Podge and put another layer of Mod Podge on top.

Painting the Mod Podge on

This is what it looks like before the Mod Podge dries

3. After dry, coat the top of the scrapbook paper again with Mod Podge. Let dry.

4. Glue on felt or cork to the bottom with hot glue gun (unless you buy the presticky felt)

5. Spray sealer on tops of coasters in a well ventilated area, preferably away from your children. Use during the Christmas season and enjoy!

Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much. I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals. This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week. So grateful!

Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans. They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me! The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking. I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year. My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer. Thank you so much

This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children. I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home. I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day. I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it! Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well! So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table. Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
