Trending Post: Fall Crafts Round-Up
The next animal in our rainforest animal theme is this one — a green vine snake! They are such a neat species, with an angular head and long, thin body that curls around tree limbs and vines of the rainforest. We have made quite a few snake crafts in the past, but doing specific ones…
Moving on from the Pronghorn & Tarantula crafts that I posted earlier this week, here is a Sidewinder Rattlesnake! This reptile is found in the desert as well. It’s been a while since we did a snake craft. The last ones we did were: Paper Chain Snake, King Snake, Printable Snake, Stocking Snake. Check those…
I just love when friends inbox me with pictures of crafts and activities with the tagline, “YOU HAVE TO DO THIS!” A huge thanks to Jamie for showing me the craft her son did in preschool a couple weeks ago. Paper chain snakes are so easy and turn out really cute. Lorelai stated from the…
Need a simple, yet fun, activity to help fill up these summer days? Look no further; this activity will work out perfectly. I saw these bubble snakes on both Come Together Kids & Housing a Forest (and all over Pinterest) and immediately put it on our “to try” list. Tried and true, this activity is…
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…
We had a little bit of free time last night before bedtime, and Lorelai chose to do her snake craft. She chose to paint him green with black spots, and thought it was “marvelous”, her newly discovered word. =) We cut it out and assembled it this morning before school. Print below and enjoy! Open…
I remember the day my oldest brother came home from camp with a snake just like this. I was so envious because it was seriously the coolest thing ever. When I chose the Rainforest Theme for this week, I knew immediately that we’d have to do a snake craft. It was a HUGE hit! Lorelai…
Leatherback sea turtles are truly fascinating reptiles! They make up the world’s largest turtle species and can grow to around 2 meters, or 6 feet long! They also weigh-in around 2000lbs, or 900kg. Another fascinating fact is that their shells are not hard like most turtles; their speckled backs are a leathery texture that is…
Last week, I posted this Eye of Ra Outline and stated that we were currently learning about ancient egypt. Another printable I made to go along with this unit is this pharaoh headdress. This is a 3-page printable that your child can paint or color, cut out, and glue together. We actually used staples to…
A while back, we made this cute hedgehog/porcupine craft, as well as this handprint one and I thought it was time to create a new one with a spin on it. This one is of a cute little hog laying on its back. We painted ours in a rainbow of blues, purples and pinks. =)…
Hey friends! Long time, no post, huh? A broken computer and some big life changes (mostly good) have meant that I haven’t been able to share our crafty creations. I’ll be posting some new content soon, so be sure to follow us on our various social media platforms! Come August, summer really seems to streettttttch…
Today I’m sharing this super cute coati craft. The coati is a neat animal that lives in Central and South America, and is closely related to the raccoon! Lorelai found this one in her animal encyclopedia and asked me to make her the template. With its ringed tail and long, pointy nose, this animal is…
Good morning! I was just looking and I saw that my last post here on LCL was over a month ago! I swear I don’t know where time went. My baby turned one on March 21st. It seems like just yesterday I was announcing that I was pregnant with her. =) My mom flew in…
Today I’m posting a GIANT SNAKE! A Burmese Python to be exact, though you could easily modify it (just paint right on over those spots!) if you want a less-specific snake. I had to make the snake a bit skinnier than I would have liked in order to get it to fit on the printables…
Kingfisher birds are found all over the world, and the species we did is brightly colored and beautiful! My 7 year-old decided to try out her new neon paints for this craft and they worked perfectly in capturing the brightness of the kingfisher. Grab your copy of the printable below and enjoy! You can also…
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…
When searching for animals for our Endangered Animals unit, I came across the zebra shark. Though the zebra shark is Threatened and not Endangered, I thought it would be a good addition to the unit. Lorelai was a bit surprised that the ZEBRA shark has spots and not stripes. That’s when I informed her that…
Having grown up near several farms, there was never a short abundance of opossums. They were the stuff of nightmares to my 10-year-old self. Of course, I only saw them threatened and scared – hissing and snapping their long teeth. We saw a tame(ish) opossum at an animal exhibit during a children’s festival last year….

Falcons are such beautiful birds; we couldn’t pass up crafting one after we saw them featured on National Geographic’s North America TV series. On the show, the mother falcon was very protective of her babies and saved them from a huge snake. She also warned off a group of pelicans by crumpling their wings so…
