May 18, 2015 by Kimberly Leave a Comment

Yesterday was a rainy, dreary day that kept us indoors. We went out to a local museum the day before so we were looking forward to having a quiet day at home. I brought out our craft supply cart and we went to work on these fun bubble wands. We made a Wire Bubble Wand […]

Valentine’s Reading Challenge Printable

January 26, 2015 by Kimberly Leave a Comment

Whether you have a reluctant reader or a book worm, a reading challenge is always a good incentive to get your child reading – and keep them reading! My daughter happens to fall in the latter category; she’s never far from a book and usually has her nose stuck in one. I decided to make […]

October 27, 2014 by Kimberly 3 Comments

Halloween is just a few days away, and I wanted to share these playdough mats I made a while ago. One is a spiderweb and the other is a faceless jack-o-lantern (pumpkin). We have had a lot of fun with playdough mats in the past, though Lore is a bit old for them now. They […]

Storytime Craft: Hansel & Gretel

August 12, 2014 by Kimberly 4 Comments

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 […]

Painting with Squash

June 29, 2014 by Kimberly Leave a Comment

Making art and painting with alternative paintbrushes is always a fun venture. In the past, we have used evergreen leaves, flowers, celery, and even spaghetti – and it was all very well received. Of course, my daughter isn’t one to shy away from getting her hands dirty – in fact, the messier it is, the […]

Cardboard Puppet Theater

June 4, 2014 by Kimberly Leave a Comment

Puppets are an all-time favorite here, especially our Storytime Puppets. Lorelai still plays with them regularly, so when I suggested making an actual puppet theater for the sets, she was thrilled. The great thing about this puppet theater is that it’s not complicated at all. I didn’t even write out instructions, just tips, which you […]

Pretend Play Classroom Set

June 2, 2014 by Kimberly 6 Comments

Pretend Play is a great way to nurture the imagination. My six-year-old has always enjoyed role-playing different community helpers. A couple of years ago, we bought her a little school set and discovered that she LOVED pretending to be a teacher. It is literally an everyday thing for her now. We even play school after […]

Printable Word Search: Animals

May 20, 2014 by Kimberly 1 Comment

Hey there! I’m so excited to share our very first Word Search! I surprised Lorelai with this animal-themed one when she came home from school and she was thrilled.

Over the years, we have done many, many crafts. A handful of what we have done were inspired by books! Books are my little one’s absolute favorite thing. At 6, she loves her chapter books, but we still go back to the classic picture books she loved so much when she was younger. Here is […]
