Blueberry Hand Pies and Flower Crowns

An easy recipe for blueberry hand pies… (Plus awesome DIY flower crowns!)

We had an artful day today, filled with garden happiness, DIY flower crowns, and yummy, kid-made blueberry hand pies.

First, the girls made flower crowns with brown paper and sticky duct tape, an idea from the lovely Maya*Made.

Then we baked delicious blueberry hand pies inspired by Angry Chicken, using a regular pie crust recipe (from Amy’s cheat sheet) and filled with a simple and tasty blueberry filling.

And then the girls wore their flower crowns and ate the blueberry hand pies. Yum!

Just about a perfect day all around.

And then there was some weaving with the garden loom that Harry made in the backyard. They added fabric scraps, ribbons, and flowers.
