Hey friends! Long time, no post, huh? A broken computer and some big life changes (mostly good) have meant that I haven’t been able to share our crafty creations. I’ll be posting some new content soon, so be sure to follow us on our various social media platforms! Come August, summer really seems to streettttttch […]
Paper Bag Craft: Eagle Puppet
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, […]
Printable Kite Craft
Summer is nearly over, so I’ve been trying to get Lorelai to finish up these spring & summer-y printables that I’ve had sitting in a folder for a while. She painted this kite yesterday. Like the colors? Lorelai decided that a black and pink kite was “stylish” (her words). No process photos… just print below […]
Printable Popsicle Craft
Summer isn’t summer without a popsicle or three. So this morning while I was cleaning up, Lorelai crafted these all on her own. She painted, cut out, and glued down the treats onto jumbo craft sticks. The paper sticks are included on the printable, but I think they’re much more fun this way. Warning, do […]
Printable Watermelon Craft… Version 2
Okay, so Lorelai did this watermelon craft last week. So why do another? For one, this one is different. Two, I was so disorganized a couple of weeks ago that I forgot that I even made the first one! I’m not kidding. Luckily, I didn’t do two of the exact same watermelon. =) This one […]
Printable Watermelon Craft
Watermelons just scream ‘summer’ to me! Who doesn’t love a nice, juicy slice of the yummy summertime fruit? It seemed like the perfect craft to do today! Lorelai did this one all on her own – painted it, cut it out, and then drew on the seeds. I provided seeds on the printable, but they […]
Printable Ice Cream Craft
Lore was so excited when she saw me print this out. So excited that she actually badgered me about doing it until I finally gave in after my home chores were done. She wanted to do the colors exactly like the example on the printable. Chocolate, Bahnilla (vanilla), and Strawberry. A perfect summertime craft! Print […]
Pail & Shovel Summer Craft
Summer is well underway and I realized that we haven’t done many summer-y crafts. Sure, we’ve done tons of aquatic animals (see the Craft Archive), but nothing geared specifically for summer. As a child, my summers usually consisted of bike rides, ice cream, and a family vacation to the beach. We always had a pail […]
Sponge-Painted Fish
How fun is this very simple craft/art project? Lorelai thought VERY! I bought a pack of 6 cheap sponges for a $1 at a new store near us and sacrificed one to make a shape. It was very easy slicing between the scrubber part and the sponge to separate. Then I carved a shape (a […]

Handprint Sunflower Craft
We crafted this adorable handprint sunflower craft a few days ago. We did a painted version of this one a while back, but I think I like this one much better. Materials We Used: 3 Pieces of Yellow Construction Paper 1 Piece of Black Construction Paper (or a paper plate, painted) 1 piece of Green […]
