Paper plate crafts are our favorite, and this turtle turned out so cute. This really is the perfect craft for toddlers. Maddie glued down the squares on the “shell” by herself. She concentrated so hard on getting the back of each piece covered completely in purple glue stick glue. I loved watching her press each […]
Paper Plate Panda Craft
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 […]

Reindeer crafts are our favorite this time of year. You can see this adorable footprint reindeer we made last week. This time I’m sharing this adorable paper plate & handprint reindeer craft.

Paper Plate Pumpkin Wreath
Halloween has passed, and with Thanksgiving on the horizon, I’m trying to squeeze in all of our final fall crafts of the season. I made this paper plate pumpkin wreath with my 1.5 year-old last week. There is something about little handprints that just make my heart happy. She painted the paper plate orange all […]
Paper Plate Ladybug Craft
To finish up summer, we made a fun paper plate ladybug craft today! We have made another version of this craft a very long time ago, but decided to spin it a different way this time! Instead of using the whole paper plate, we made one with half of the plate. It was fun to […]
Paper Plate and String Spiderweb Craft
It’s time for another fun Halloween craft, this time a classic! I remember threading string through a paper plate to make spiderwebs and dream-catchers when I was a little girl. Just as I expected, Lorelai loved it! It was so simple she did everything by herself. What You’ll Need: Paper plate (black, or you can […]
Lion Mask Craft
Roar! Who doesn’t love a cute mask craft, especially if it’s a lion? I think this one turned out so cute and I’m excited to share. We actually crafted this at the same time we crafted the cheetah mask… I’m just way behind on blogging due to school starting & our upcoming move. The materials […]
Paper Plate Owl Craft
Another owl? Yes, another owl. If you don’t know, we’re just a bit owl & butterfly obsessed! Lorelai and I crafted this paper plate owl last week after supper when things were winding down. It was very simple and came out really cute! Materials You’ll Need: 2 Paper Plates Brown Paint + paintbrushes Scissors Glue […]
Paper Plate Jellyfish Craft
Need an easy, fun, and ADORABLE craft? This is it! The pictures I took really don’t do this paper plate jellyfish craft any justice. It’s actually really, really cute! The process itself is also very simple. Lorelai practically did it all by herself. Directions are below… enjoy! Here are some other jellyfish crafts we’ve done: […]
Simple Apple Craft
Apples are the fruit of autumn, at least according to Lorelai. She was happy to make this cute apple craft a couple of weeks ago (yes, I’m just now getting around to blogging it). I originally saw the pin here on Pinterest and knew we’d have to do it to add to our apple collection. […]
Paper Roll Turkey Craft
We were happy to add this classic turkey craft to our roster of Thanksgiving crafts! Tonight after dinner, Lorelai excitedly painted this little guy. He was so simple to make and turned out so cute! If you celebrate Thanksgiving, or just like turkeys, then you have to do this one. The best part of it […]
Paper Plate Apple Craft
We are on an apple craft kick this week. I blame it on the fact that I’m finally in fall-mode. Don’t hate me for this, but this summer actually wasn’t that bad. We made the most of it. Lots of swimming pool adventures, morning park playdates, indoor playgrounds, and more. Add to that the fact […]
Olympic Rings Craft
It’s time for the Olympics! Talk about the Olympics is everywhere these days, so I thought it’d be fun for Lore to do a craft of the Olympic rings. Did you know that each the rings represent the five major regions of the world? Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania. Lorelai, however, would tell […]
{ Earth Day Craft }
Earth Day is tomorrow, April 22nd, and to ‘celebrate’ we made this cute earth craft. I’ve seen this one all over pinterest, but done in a variety of ways. A bunch had one handprint, and one footprint, but I really didn’t want to get into all of that. We just stuck with two handprints ~ […]
Paper Plate Santa Craft
Lorelai was so excited about this Santa craft, which you can obviously see in the first picture above. She was “ho-ho-ho’ing” the entire time she was making it, LOL! It’s very simple to make and probably doesn’t need a how-to, but since it only takes a second to write it… enjoy! Materials We Used 1 […]
Paper Plate Jack-o-Lanterns
We flew back to Houston early yesterday morning, and Lorelai has been missing all of the non-stop attention she got from my family up there. She was crawling up the walls this afternoon, so I decided to do a craft with her. We’ve missed it, and are way behind on Halloween crafts… Here’s one, Paper […]
Paper Plate Cow Craft
It was an extra early morning today and I had to find something to do to help fill out our morning. Lorelai is always up for crafting so that’s what we did! Today we did a paper plate cow, another classic paper plate animal. This one is really simple and only features the head and […]
Bubble Paint “Blowfish” Craft
Ah, the classic fish craft. If you’ve ever gone looking for a fish craft, you have probably come across this one a million times. I decided to spruce this one up with a fun painting technique called bubble painting. This technique is one I’ve also come across a lot lately, with varying instructions. My favorite […]
{ Scratch Art Flower }
After getting dressed and eating breakfast, Lorelai asked to do a craft. I had been wanting to do scratch art with her for a long time, but I always forgot… until today! I decided to make it more than just scratch art by making a flower as well, since it’s spring. Lorelai loved it! After […]
