Hyenas are an African animal that look similar to a large dog. The most common type of hyena is the Spotted Hyena. Hyena cubs are born with black hair, which eventually lighten ups and turns spotted. Lorelai has always been fascinated with hyenas because of the Lion King. These cackling animals have very strong jaws [...]
Day of the Dead, or Día de Muertos, is a Mexican holiday that is celebrated on November 1st and 2nd. It’s a holiday that honors and brings remembrance to loved ones who have passed. Family members build alters with pictures, candles, and flowers for their loved ones, clean their grave sites, and celebrate the lives [...]
As we learned while crafting the monarch butterfly, the painted lady also migrates to Mexico for the winter. We have had a lot of interaction with painted lady butterflies as of late. Lorelai’s teacher brought in caterpillars and the class got to watch them go from caterpillar, to chrysalis, to butterfly. The children’s librarian at [...]
Paper bag animal puppets are incredibly simple to make and result in lots of giggles and fun puppet play. We did a paper bag owl puppet a couple of days ago (posted yesterday), and decided to do this giraffe today. This one is a bit more involved, as you have to cut out the yellow [...]
Fairies are a household favorite right now; Lorelai is constantly drawing pictures of fairies, watching Tinkerbell, and pretending that she is one! You’ve got to love the imagination of a five-year-old. =) She asked me for another fairy craft and this is the one I came up with. A while ago, we did this printable [...]
Pretend play is my five-year-old’s favorite way to play. Ever since I made the Pet Adoption & Vet Clinic Pretend Play printable sheets, she has requested again and again for more. I finally got around to making this Restaurant set last night, with her glued to my side and making suggestions here and there. There [...]
It’s National Nurse Week! I don’t know about you all, but I know some pretty awesome nurses and nurses-in-training. I thought it would be fun to do an nurse craft since we haven’t yet, and I was right! Lorelai did this one almost 100% by herself; I did help cut out the head. The rest [...]
First, a huge thanks to Jordan for suggesting this craft on our Facebook Page a couple of weeks ago. It’s the perfect little project for the upcoming summer season! We visit my folks on the east coast every year for about a month, and while we are there, we are in farm heaven. Fireflies, tadpoles, [...]
This craft has a serious identity crisis going on. I designed it as a hedgehog, but my husband pointed out that I made the spines just a tad bit too long, and Lore painted it as as a hedgehog (gray and black), so I’m labeling it as one. =) If you are looking for a [...]
We are still learning about Mexico in our Around the World series. While researching animals of Mexico, the Scarlet Macaw came up. What a beautiful bird! The colors are so vibrant, Lorelai took to it immediately and requested I make a printable. How could I say no? =) Print below and enjoy! Fun Facts About [...]
While researching animals of Mexico, the coyote is one that came up that we hadn’t crafted yet. Since we are currently learning about Mexico in our Around the World series, I thought it would be the perfect time to learn about and craft a coyote. Fun Facts About Coyotes: Coyotes are mammals. Their populations are [...]
Good morning! Here’s a random Saturday craft for you: the Common King Snake. In case you’re wondering the why of it, it’s because Lorelai saw one in her animal encyclopedia and requested it. We have done a few snake crafts in the past – printable snake & stocking snake. It was time we did an [...]
