Bald eagles are one of my favorite kinds of birds, and not just because I’m American. I grew up living near a farm that’s home to a family of eagles. Every winter, my dad, little brother, and I would walk across the icy swamp to check out the eagles’ nest. Every once in a while, […]
Patriotic Star Craft
First, please excuse the really bad process pictures. My apartment has 0 natural light, it was way too hot to craft outside, and my big flash is out of batteries. I had to use my on-camera flash which is pretty much useless. Anyway, I’ve been slacking on patriotic crafts this year. And, since the 4th […]
Printable Bald Eagle Craft
Last night I finally finished making the printables for all of the crafts on Lore’s list. I printed them all out and stuck them on the kitchen counter so we could get started on them. We normally only do one craft a day. Maybe two if we have time. Today, we did 6… and it […]
Paper Roll & Handprint Bald Eagle Craft
Happy Mothers Day! You’d think I’d get to take the day off of crafting, but little Lore was hearing nothing of it. I was able to put her off until around 2pm. At that point, she was getting supplies together herself. We usually keep crafting to the weekdays, but M got to see firsthand how […]
{ Star Spangled Headband }
We did another 4th of July craft today, this time a cute star-spangled headband. We’ve done several headband crafts in the past and they have always been a huge hit. In fact, Lorelai was running around the other day, wearing her reindeer headband from last Christmas. This will probably be the last of our 4th […]
{ Handprint Fireworks }
This is an extremely easy 4th of July craft for kids of all ages! Keeping with the patriotic theme, I prepared today’s craft with Lorelai in mind (like always). She loves fireworks and has been talking nonstop about seeing them this year. Fireworks as a craft? Yeah, kinda tricky, but I incorporated into her handprint […]
Bald Eagle Handprint Craft
Hi, hello there. Remember me? It’s been a while, but I’m back! Lorelai and I got our craft on this morning and made a handprint bald eagle craft. I think it turned out really cute, and it’s sooo easy to do. Materials We Used: 1 Paper Plate (or paper if you wish) Paint: Brown, White, […]
{ A Patriotic Spin on Home-Made Play Dough }
It’s been a while since I posted any crafting stuff. We’ve been pretty busy since arriving back in Texas that I’ve had NO time to blog. Well, busy + double pink eye = no time/vision for the computer! Anyway, I made more play dough for Lorelai today, but gave it a patriotic spin since the […]
