Trending Post: Fall Crafts Round-Up
If you have a little one who is learning how to use scissors, this printable will be handy for you. Madeline, 4, enjoyed cutting out the different bear faces and matching them up to the heads. This is especially great if you are doing a bear-themed week. Check out our bear printables here, as well…
With the weather cooling off, the bears will be gearing up for the freezing winter ahead. Every year as a child, we would visit the mountains and pretty much everytime, we would spot bears along the treeline. Now that we are back on the east coast, I look forward to taking up the tradition with…
Here is another handprint craft we recently did with our 19 month-old daughter, Madeline. She loves anything to do with animals, so these handprint crafts have been a huge hit! We did a handprint polar bear, and this is pretty much the same, just brown. Super easy and cute to do with children of all…
Handprint crafts are some of our favorite crafts, and this one proved to be no exception. I initially intended to do this one only with my 10 month-old. I’ve been seriously slacking with the baby crafts and thought this one would be perfect. Lorelai was painting at the time and she decided to jump in…
Who doesn’t love a good polar bear craft? We have crafted one other polar bear in the past – this one – that isn’t very realistic. I decided we needed one that looked more like an actual polar bear. Lorelai loved it! Being an animal lover and future zoologist, she was all about doing an…
Printable puppet crafts, also known as Storytime Crafts, are one of my favorite things to design for my daughter. She has loved every set I have made and still pulls them out of our craft cabinet occasionally to put on little plays. Other Storytime Crafts I have made are: Three Little Pigs, Little Red Riding…
Oh he looks surprised and nonplussed all at the same time. =) This is the grizzly bear craft Lorelai painted last week and I am just now getting around to blogging. I swore I was done with the Endangered Animals unit, but it looks like I missed a couple. =) We did a cartoon-y bear…
I mentioned yesterday that Lorelai and I went through her animal encyclopedia and she picked out a ton of animals to craft. The sheep was a the top of the list, but after that it went in alphabetical order since she went back and started at the beginning. So ‘bear’ was next… She did a…
I’ve been wanting to make a polar bear printable for a while, and what better time to do it than the winter? =) I surprised Lorelai with this craft tonight and – BONUS! – she got to do it with textured “puffy” paint! We haven’t used this kind of paint in a while… the last…
Third grade is upon us! One of my favorite parts of planning for the school year ahead is picking out the books Maddie and I will read together. We’ve already read many classics and are looking forward to adding more to our list this school year. Books We’ve Already Read & Recommend for Third Grade:…

Do panda crafts ever get old? Personally, I don’t think so. We love pandas! We’ve made several panda crafts in the past, including this printable panda, panda cub, and red panda. Check them out for fun printable options. If you’re looking for something a bit more basic for a big group, this paper plate panda…

I’ve been wanting to share my daughter Madeline’s current favorite books. She’s 19 months-old (1.5 years-old) and has a handful of books that she wants to read over and over again. Some of these books are from her 9 year-old’s collection from when she was younger, so they are now out of print or hard…
Flamingos are such beautiful birds, with their pink feathers and long necks. The last flamingo craft we made was this printable one four years ago! We revisted the animal recently with my eighteen month-old. She is taking after her sister and loving doing “crafffs”. =) Handprint crafts are the best thing at this age. Messy…
Pandas are hands-down one of the cutest animals out there, according to my eight-year-old daughter, Lorelai. She requested another panda craft recently. She made this adorable one & a red panda a long time ago, so we were due for another. She specifically requested a “super cute baby panda”. This one fits the bill. Instead…
Tasmanian devils are fierce creatures. In most of the pictures I’ve seen, their mouths are wide open and their sharp teeth are very prominent. So I designed this scary printable to reflect their fiesty personalities. Lorelai immediately dubbed it as ‘CREEPY’ and had fun painting it. She made it even more silly by using blue…
After recently watching Ice Age, my daughter requested a sabertooth tiger craft. Diego, the character in the movie, is really cute. He’s tough on the outside and a big teddy bear on the inside. We love him! So I designed a craft. It’s not an exact replica of the character, but it’s still fun! Don’t…
Storytime Crafts are always a treat, though it usually takes me a while to design a whole set. I finished up Hansel & Gretel earlier this week, much to my daughter’s delight. She went right to work coloring the puppets. If you aren’t familiar with Hansel & Gretel, you can watch the video I posted…
