Princess Celestia is here! Lorelai was so, so happy to see this craft. She has been asking for it for ages – as have you all!! I received at least a hundred requests for this one. And before you all ask, Spike IS coming. I have a few more crafts ahead of him though. =) [...]

Printable Craft: Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly

funcrafts-101

Tiger Swallowtail Butterflies are everywhere right now in Maryland. They are such beautiful butterflies that I had to make another printable butterfly craft. Lorelai loved it! She painted hers with a fine paintbrush and then gave it to her Gammie when it was finished. Some other butterfly posts & crafts: Monarch Butterfly, Painted Lady Butterfly, [...]

Ninja Turtle Printable Crafts

ninjaturtles-004

My little girl and nephew are obsessed with the Ninja Turtles. Keeping that in mind, I designed these four ninja turtle crafts. One for each turtle. I did *not* include their weapons (which was the first thing my nephew asked about when he saw the printables – lol). You could easily make some with another [...]

Squirtable Sidewalk Chalk

013

Summer is upon us, and with that, fun summer activities! Sidewalk chalk is a much-loved art supply here. We are always outside drawing and playing hopscotch. Two fun activities that we have done in the past inspired this one – Sidewalk Paint, and Paint the Snow. For the snow paint, we used condiment squirters and [...]

Texas Printables: Flag & State Outline

crafting-021

Although we are currently in Maryland visiting my family, Lorelai still got a kick out of doing these Texas printables. It honestly didn’t occur to me to make some until SHE asked for them. We were standing in a Bass Pro a few weeks ago and she saw a Texas outline on a sign. “Mommy, [...]

Farm Crafts Round-Up

farmcrafts

Having grown up and lived on a farm for most of my life, it should come as no surprise that farm crafts have a special place in my heart. While my daughter was born and raised in a city, we go home to the country to visit my family every year. She loves everything about [...]

Natural Paintbrushes

Making natural paintbrushes is a fun activity that produces great results! We really enjoyed this one – from making the brushes, to seeing the end product of the painting. It was all really neat! We have painted with spaghetti, pinecones, and cotton before, but this one definitely took the cake. These brushes would also work [...]

Printable Craft: Rose

crafts-006

Roses are beautiful flowers, and while this printable doesn’t do them justice, it’s still fun and pretty. Lorelai made this printable rose craft for her Aunt Karen after seeing that her Gammie’s rose bushes were in full bloom. Earlier this week, we did this hibiscus craft. You can find more flowers in the Miscellaneous section, [...]

Father’s Day Printables

Father’s Day is Sunday, June 16th this year (2013). Every year Lorelai and I do something special for Daddy. This year, I designed printables for Lorelai to make for her Daddy! Lorelai decorated the #1 Dad and the trophy with crayons. I gave her the option to paint them, but she was in the mood [...]

Nature Collage Craft

collage-048

Doing a collage is a fun way to incorporate nature into art time. We did one last year when we were in Maryland. This time, we used contact paper and pressed different leaves, flowers, and other small, flat pieces to the sticky paper. It turned out great! If you don’t have contact paper, construction paper [...]

Printable Craft: Hibiscus Flower

Flower crafts have always been a hit here. In the past, we’ve done a printable tulip craft, ,recycled cupholder flower craft, a cupcake liner and popsicle stick flower, a flowerpot craft, a black-eyed susan, and a handprint sunflower. This hibiscus flower craft was simple and turned out really cute. Lorelai chose to paint hers orange [...]
