DIY Ninja Turtle Paper Plate Mask

May 12, 2020

My 2 heroes in a half shell (or more like tasmanian devils). 4 & 5 year old boys in quarantine = not easy. The sunny days are great but the rainy ones… I just cross my fingers for no broken furniture (or glass, or bones, or sisters prized possessions… you get it). It’s also not easy to get their attention… Read More
