Fall is nearly here and we have are enjoying making new crafts. This is the first year I’m really doing anything with my 17 month-old, Madeline. We recently made this fall tree with her handprints and it turned out SO cute! This literally took less than 5 minutes to do. When you gather all of […]
Printable Tree Crafts
He plants trees to benefit another generation. Caecilius Statius We have crafted a few trees here on LCL. Mostly handprint trees with tissue paper flowers or fingerprints ( 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 5 . 6 ), a paper roll apple tree, and a coconut tree. However, we hadn’t crafted a […]
Handprint Spring Tree Craft
We have done many handprint tree crafts in the past, but this is our first official spring tree! The tree outside of our patio is beginning to bloom. It feels like it was just a few weeks ago that it finally lost it’s orange and yellow leaves. While Lore and I were playing with her […]
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 […]
Thankful Tree Craft

Coconut Tree Craft
Lorelai is a huge fan of Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, an alphabet book by Bill Martin Jr. Whenever I tell her to pick out a few books to read, she almost always comes back with that one. Then she goes nuts during the ‘chicka chicka boom boom, will there be enough room?’ parts. I’m talking […]
{ The Thankful Tree }
I was super impressed with this craft idea that Heather came up with. We’ve done several tree crafts recently (including my favorite found here) and I decided to mix it up a bit for this one. I traced her hands onto white cardstock first and then let her paint it. You could easily use brown […]
Fall Tree Craft
While blog-surfing yesterday, I stumbled upon this fall tree craft that incorporated a tracing of the child’s arm. So cool! (By the way, if I ever come across the original blog, I’ll post. I have no clue where it is now!) You’ll need tissue paper and glue as well. I cut some really simple leaves […]
