Happy Monday everyone! I hope you had a good weekend. This weekend we went to the county fair: it was really fun! They had lots of fun games, yummy food, and cool things to see: I even milked a cow (for my first time). This year they even had sharks—pretty sweet! I think my favorite part, though, was petting the animals. I loved seeing the baby goats, and Davian thought they were pretty interesting too.
Since we went to the zoo last weekend, Davian probably thinks that looking at animals is just what we do whenever we spend time together as a family.
So, even though today’s printable has absolutely nothing to do with baby goats, I hope you’ll enjoy it. I mentioned in a recent blog post that, for our first anniversary, I decorated our living room with paper lanterns. The paper lanterns I created at the time were just made out of colored construction paper: nothing special, but it was still really fun! But, when I was thinking back on that (because our second anniversary in coming up next week) I decided that it could make for a fun printable.
There are two different types of paper lantern templates that I’ve provided, and they are both pretty simple to make. All you need to put these together are:
- My printable templates
- Scissors
- Tape or glue
- An x-acto blade/ruler
- Yarn, ribbon, or string to use for hanging
- And either a hole punch or needle to thread the string through
