Santa’s little helpers are a big deal when it comes to Christmas. I wish I had a few elves of my own to help out. =) I made this elf so that it could be a boy or a girl – the pony tail is separate. Lorelai pointed out that a boy elf wouldn’t wear […]
Printable Candy Cane Crafts
Who doesn’t love candy canes? On second thought, don’t answer that. If you don’t like candy canes, we can’t be friends. =) We are big fans of candy canes here. The sweet peppermint treat is loved by everyone in our house, so naturally, we go through them pretty quickly. Lorelai had fun painting this candy […]
Printable Santa Craft
Santa! I can’t believe this is the first printable Santa I’ve made. He came out so cute. Lorelai loved painting him and sang ‘Santa Claus is Coming to Town’ the entire time. Print below! Open Santa Claus Printable Printable Instructions | Terms of Use | Facebook Page
Simple Handprint Reindeer Craft
Here is the other Handprint craft we did this morning. I’m sure we did this one last year, but I can’t find it on the blog to link to it. We did do these cute thumbprint reindeer and also a reindeer with handprint antlers. In addition to those, there is also the paper plate reindeer […]
Handprint Christmas Tree
Ah, Christmas crafts… I’ve missed you! After doing a little non-stressful Black Friday shopping yesterday, we put up the Christmas tree. Yep, we are those people. Christmas crafts were surely soon to follow and they did – this morning! Lorelai was excited about this one. She loves Christmas trees and she loves getting her hands […]
Printable Gingerbread Man Craft
Sorry for not updating much; it’s been really crazy around here these days and we just haven’t been doing any crafts. We did a couple of crafts with the playgroup last week and the week before. Holiday handprint crafts & then monkey crafts (for National Monkey Day). Later today, Lorelai will be doing this one […]
Reindeer Paper Plate Craft
I’ll admit it: I’m burnt out on Christmas crafts. I think it has to do with the stress of having to get everything done before Christmas, Máyo getting a lot of overtime this close to the holiday, etc. I’m grateful that he has the work and we could definitely use the money, but we still […]
Christmas Tree Printing
Lorelai and I were both bored, Máyo was late, and all of the chores were done. I was about to go turn on the TV when Lorelai saw the craft box on the floor and started digging through it. When she asked to do one (I’m serious, the girl loves her little activities), I was […]
Textured Snowman Craft
So this was the craft I mentioned in my last post – the one I had planned on doing with Lorelai yesterday but didn’t. I woke up with a lot more energy today, so this one it was. Mayo actually suggested that we do a snowman because we’ve been doing too many Christmas trees, angels, […]
{ Christmas Rocks }
How appropriate is the title of this post? =) This wasn’t the planned craft for today. I wasn’t really feeling up to doing the more intricate one that Máyo had picked out to do, so we’re saving that one for tomorrow or this weekend and we did this one instead. Christmas rocks! We had a […]
Paper Plate Angel Craft
Lorelai was practically squeaking with suppressed joy when she saw me get out the glitter from one of our craft boxes this morning. She ran around and around in circles, clutching it to her chest with a giant smile on her face. I wish I had got that on camera; it was pretty hilarious! Here […]
Handprint Christmas Tree Craft
Lorelai got to choose today’s craft. We were browsing a few of my go-to craft idea websites and she quickly decided on another Christmas tree. I had seen something like this done before and thought it was so cute… so that’s what we did! She was so stoaked about this one – the evidence is […]
Santa Ornament
I came across this craft here and thought it was really cute! We had all of the materials and paint and Lorelai asked to paint, so win-win. =) Ours didn’t come out as nice as the one shown, but then again, a 3-year-old did ours (though I assembled). A strand of hair got painted – […]
O’ Christmas Tree Craft
Good morning, blog land! I don’t know about anybody else, but I’m so glad it’s Friday! We don’t have any plans for the weekend other than to go see Santa at the mall (and relax!), but I’m looking forward to it! We started off today with a fun Christmas tree craft. I have a TON […]
Bead Ornaments
All was quiet this evening. Dinner was finished, dishes done. Máyo was playing his game and Lorelai was watching a movie because she was dead set on seeing the Little Mermaid again. I’m sick. I have a chest cold or something and my voice is just about gone, though it gets better as the day […]
{ Homemade Ornaments }
We took on the challenge of homemade ornaments today. Lorelai has been running a fever on and off and we’ve been doing nothing but laying around watching movies. (Though she has been acting totally fine.) She was all for getting her hands dirty for a while! I got the base recipe here but did a […]
Hand Wreath Craft
We went to the movies this morning to see Tangled. It was incredibly cute! Even Máyo said that it was good for a princess movie, LOL. Anyway, we came home and Lorelai played outside for a bit with her “friends” from the community. She came inside after a bit because she was cold and we […]
Snowflake Craft
Open Snowflake Printable First, this craft comes with a printable; you can download and print it from the link above. This is a really simple craft – once you get past the cutting out of the snowflake.You have to cut out the center of the snowflake like pictured above. If you print on cardstock, you’ll […]
Reindeer Handprint Craft
We did this reindeer craft last year and it was fun to see how much her hands have grown in the space of a year. =) We used cardstock (for the nose & eyes), and construction paper for the rest. It’s pretty much self explanatory how to do this – just cut out and glue! […]
