Happy Pharrell Williams Lyrics in His New Book: Giftable Crafts
What are the Lyrics to Happy by Pharrell Williams?
What makes you Happy? If you've heard the song, Happy by Pharrell Williams, it probably makes you happy! The song is fun and upbeat, and kids love it. So, of course, Pharell turned it into a children's book which we were given for review by Penguin Kids. We paired it with some kid made giftable picture frame crafts. Enjoy!
Happy Pharrell Williams find the Lyrics in His New Book.
The book, Happy by Pharrell Williams* is colorful and vibrant, just like the song. Children are seen dancing throughout the book. The song is reminiscent of the song, "Don't Worry Be Happy" by Bobby Mcferin. Everytime we think of either song, we think of a happy face, better known as an emoji in today's world.
After reading the fun book for kids, we decided to make some crafts that are suitable for gift giving. Read the book with your family or class and then sit down together for some valuable bonding time while you make these easy, giftable crafts.
Giftable picture frame craft for preschool: Happy!
For Preschoolers- The picture frame above is colorful and fun- just like the story! Share a picture with your favorite person.
To make it, purchase unstained, wooden picture frames from Michael's. Then, let your preschooler or toddler paint the frame with yellow tempra paint. Once dry, use a gluestick to stick on the pom poms and then add brightly colored circle stickers.
It is super easy, sensory fun for toddlers, and it works fine motor skills.
Happy! Giftable Chalkboard Picture Frame.
Using another plain, wooden picture frame from Michael's, paint it with Chalkboard Paint. Then, draw happy faces and fun phrases! The background is the original store insert covered with wall paper.
Make a Picture Frame Gift Craft for the Holidays.
The picture frame above is a plastic picture frame from the Dollar Tree. With a hot glue gun, glue a ribbon to each side of the frame. Then, add mini clothespins, and attach your favorite phrase or name. It makes a fun, graduation gift when you use the word, "Congratulations!"
So, what are you waiting for? Start crafting up some kid made giftable crafts for the holidays.

4 Holiday Toilet Paper Roll Crafts
4 Cardboard Tube Crafts for the Holidays
Whether you use a paper towel roll, wrapping paper roll, or toilet tube, these cute cardboard tube crafts for the holidays are easy to make. We made 4 fun holiday toilet paper roll crafts with bits and bobbles from cardboard rolls. Scroll down to see our Thanksgiving Turkey, Christmas Reindeer, Snowman, and Little Puppy. Enjoy!
Cute Cardboard Tube Crafts.
1. Toilet Paper Roll Turkey
We used cardbboard paper towel rolls and toilet paper tubes to make these little creatures. They are skinnier than most, because we cut a 1" strip out of each roll and then hot glued the cardboard back together. Each holiday creature is cut at a different height, so they can be displayed in an attractive centerpiece for the holidays.
Toilet Paper Roll Crafts Thanksgiving Turkey.
Cardboard Tube Valentine Treat Creature
If you want to make , purchase some felt leaves. We found a Thanksgiving garland kit on clearance and used the pieces to make turkey feathers. An autumn pack of pipecleaners, pom poms, and felt bits were used for his beak and head.
To attach the head, it is best to use hot glue. Place a bead of glue around the top of the cardboard tube and then press and hold the pom pom down until the glue sets.
If you want to paint your tube, do that before you begin decorating it. We like the natural look of of the cardboard roll.
2. Cardboard Tube Puppy
Cut a 2" section of cardboard roll to make a little puppy.

4. Reindeer Toilet Roll Craft

to make spiral antlers for the cardboard reindeer.

Mayhem designed her own Easy Cardboard Toilet Tube Turkeys.
Cut 1/4" strips approximately 3" down the toilet paper roll to make the turkey feathers. Then, bend 1 strip down folding the end up to attach the turkey's head. Cut two orange strips and glue inside the tube to form legs. Now, you have a shelf sitter turkey for Thanksgiving.

Car Covers for Backseat: Bench Seat Cover with Split
Split Rearseat Cover for Car
Messy Kids? Ready for a big Chaotic Confession? We've got one super messy child dubbed, Mayhem. We needed car covers for the backseat for the past year. So, when Versa Via asked if we'd like to do a review, we jumped at the chance. The Versa Via split rearseat cover for car worked like magic, alas for our car, it was too late. Maybe, it isn't too late for your car? Keep scrolling for our car seat cover giveaway. Enjoy!
Easy to install rear seat cover for car.
So, the Car Covers for Backseat were a necessity for us. We've had the car for almost 2 years now, so it is practically a new car, right? Not so much. Here goes... You might want to avert your eyes.
We deperately needed a Split Rearseat Cover for our Car.
What is that stuff? Well, there's some purple putty, blue candy, maple syrup, ketchup, chocolate milk, Florida sand, and maybe even some duck or chicken poo remnants. Yes, that's a big confession.
One day, after some Nerds (the candy) entered into the backseat, the seatbelt clicker broke. We tried to vaccum them out, but it was too late. RIP seatbelt.
Messy backseats. This fabric is unforgiving.
Another confession, we did attempt to clean the seat before installing the VersaVia Car Cover. We spent $5 sweeping it out and sprayed lots of vinegar and peroxide on it, but it was to no avail.
A bit of good news, we found lots of change and a few Nintendo DS games! Bad news, we even clogged the industrial vac at the carwash.
Mommy refused to sit in the backseat, so did Jake. Daddy would sit on a towel or chair pad. Sigh.
Then, our Split Rearseat Cover for Car arrived. It sat in the front entry for a week. We knew prepping the car was going to take some time. We also worried that the rear seat cover would be difficult to install. Wrong!
This installs in under 5 minutes. Super easy. It adjusts to the size of your seat, and it stays in position even when Mayhem is climbing around back there. If only, we had one BEFORE the mess.
Since we've installed it, The Littlest Pet Shop tiny bits don't fall between the fold or get stuck in the seatbelt clicker...
Want one? More to the point, need one? Leave a comment, and you are entered in our giveaway. We'll choose a winner November 21, 2015. Good Luck! *U.S. Residents only.
