Coffee filters have many uses.
All you need is a little imagination.
And a little brother to share them with.
This photo wasn’t taken yesterday – our angels are 10 and 12 now.

Ahh…they look so cute and sweet!! 😀 Household items make the best toys! What do they say about the picture now they’re all ‘big’! I love the quote by Walt Disney … the trick is to grow up but retain the sense of fun and magic in Life! 😀❤️

These two get plenty of fun out of life. My granddaughter, for example, enjoys karate, basketball, skateboarding and junior life-guarding. We could all take a page from her involvement in extra-curricular activities. 🙂 Thanks, Annika!

Fun with coffee filters doesn’t end with the toddler years! Maybe 10 and 12 is too old, but I remember my kids in elementary school would use them for painting projects. Their ability to wick (the coffee filters, that is) makes for some very interesting watercolors.

I wholeheartedly agree with you on that. There is such a glut of negativity and bad news stories out there. I prefer to highlight the happier side of life because I think we all need it. Thanks! xo

I have been having problems with some of my comments. I can see they are not showing and figure, for some reason or another, they have been spammed. No idea why….

That is what I looked to see. Honestly, I wouldn’t know how to change anything. And it is just certain bloggers, too, which is really perplexing, Jennifer.

They remind me of those darling caps women in the ’30’s used to wear. Coffee filters are perfect for hats with the way they shape to stuff.

Jennifer, the children are gorgeous and I think the coffee filter hats look good on them. Besides, they might wonder
why you use paper hats for coffee?
Beats the Christmas cracker hats any day.
