I have so many memories using these Do-A-Dot markers when I was growing up. From simple art to craft projects, they always came in handy. I decided to start making pages for Madeline to dot/decorate as an alternative to crayons and paint. She really enjoyed doing these two autumn-themed printables: the leaf and the pumpkin. […]
Thankful Leaves Printable Craft
Thanksgiving is next week – can you believe it? I swear the time between Halloween and Thanksgiving always flies. I finally sat down and came up with a menu for our Thanksgiving dinner (er, Black Friday feast?) We spend Turkey Day with the in-laws, so I always cook a traditional dinner for us the next […]
Handprint Fall Leaves Craft
Tis the season for leaf crafts galore, and we have a few more coming up before the fall season is over! Today, I’m sharing this super easy and ADORABLE handprint leaf craft. This turned out so much better than I anticipated. My 1.5 year-old pointed up at the jar of paintbrushes I have on my […]
Printable Leaf Friends Crafts
It’s that time of year — pumpkins, leaves, and super fun fall crafts! Making little “friends” out of crafts seemed like a fun idea, and it was! These turned out so cute. Lorelai chose to paint with the liquid watercolors this time and I love strokes and texture of the paint. We will be breaking […]
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 […]
Fall Leaf Paint Printing
If you live in Texas like me, you won’t see a huge variety of fall leaves… at least not in the city! There has been a bit more color this year than last, from what I’ve seen, but not a whole lot. Lorelai and Daddy scavenged a local park for some dried leaves and pine […]
Fall Leaf Suncatcher
Suncatchers are such a fun and easy, hands-on project. Lorelai always enjoys doing them. So, when I replenished our tissue paper collection from the pieces found in her birthday gift bags, I knew just what we had to make first. A fall leaf suncatcher! The template itself is old. We did this fun craft project […]
Leaf Stencil Art
Aren’t they gorgeous? Lorelai was asking to do another craft and these were pretty easy to make. A little time consuming when it came to cutting the stencils out (15 or so minutes) but the end product was so worth it. Directions below. =) Leaf 1 & Leaf 2 & Leaf 3 Materials We Used: […]
Nature Collage Craft
It’s so beautiful outside today. This is definitely MY kind of weather! High 60’s, breezy, and sun peaking out behind big puffy clouds. We rode the four-wheeler over to the farm and I did a time lapse video (lots of pictures put together to make a movie) of the clouds rolling across the sky. While […]
