FREE Chick Fil A Today!

Today was Cow Appreciation Day at Chick Fil A.  We wanted our FREE meals so we got busy this morning!  Check out how we made out costumes!  And yes, I let the kids do their own shirts, so no, they are not perfect.  I believe a true kids craft should be done by the kid!  They had so much FUN making these, even if Launa doesn’t represent happiness in the picture :)

Step 1.  I went through all the kids play clothes and found white pieces of clothing that would work for the project.  They all had a stain on them somewhere, but after we added the spots you would never have known!

Step 2.  I grabbed some acrylic paint, a nice size potato, and a knife.

Step 3.  I cut up the potato so we could have different size spots.  Then I cut a little around the edges so they weren’t perfectly round.

Step 4.  I stuck wooden skews into the potatoes so the kids could grab them easily.

Step 5. I placed cardboard in between each piece of clothing and then I let the kids dip the potatoes in the paint and press it onto the shirts.

When they were done, I used a blow dryer to dry all the spots.  This was such a FUN craft, and the kids loved it!  I’m thinking about painting with potatoes more often!  When all the spots were dried we were on our way to Chick Fil A!  I was hoping I would find a lot of people dressed up when we got there.  I was planning on taking some pics and sharing them in this post.  Unfortunately, even though it was SUPER busy when we got there, we were the ONLY ones dressed up!  Seriously?  Come on people, where is your sense of FUN?  Anyways, we got our FREE lunch!
