Trending Post: Fall Crafts Round-Up
Years ago, Lorelai and I made this paper roll Frankenstein craft. While it turned out cute, it does look unfinished. Lorelai came across it recently while browsing our site, and added it to her list of crafts to make. She re-made this adorable Frankenstein on Saturday and was much happier with how this one turned…
Homemade jewelry is the BEST, especially when you have a little girl at home. Lorelai absolutely loved making these [toilet] paper roll bracelets! It was messy fun with paint, sequins, and glitter flying in all directions! The first time I saw a similar craft to these was on About, but I have also seen many…
We are no strangers to frog crafts and have made many — printable frog, lady frog, printable tree frog, fun “orange” frog. We were overdue for a new frog craft, and this paper roll frog was the perfect thing. I actually got this idea from Lore’s old preschool. One of teachers had clipped their paper…
We recently adopted two (rescued) cats – Bellatrix (9 months), a straight black cat with a missing eye, and Pepper (2.5ish years old) who was born without a tail. They are both soooo sweet – sweeter than my cats back home even, but don’t tell them that! I don’t think Lorelai even realized that the…
A cold front came through this morning, leaving us thin-blooded Texans shivering in our cowgirl boots. Okay, leaving LORE shivering in her cowgirl boots. =) Minus the shivering… it’s not actually that cold. Haha! She asked to do a penguin craft today after we put up our new privacy fence on the patio. My mind…
>center> It has been a few days since we actually made this craft, but with everything going on lately, I just haven’t had time (or the desire) to blog it. This one is very simple and only took us a couple of minutes to do. We have done several other angel crafts in the past:…
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 roll crafts are always fun and simple, and this apple tree craft was no exception. Lorelai asked to make a tree craft this afternoon and I presented her with the materials: 1 Toilet Paper Roll, cleaned 1 Piece of green Construction Paper Marker Scissors Glue/Glue Stick Red Glitter (optional) What To Do: On the…
This craft was planned by Lorelai herself. The other day she asked to make a butterfly out of a toilet paper roll. I saved it for today since I knew it would go along well with the egg carton caterpillar that she crafted this morning. Having already used paint today, we went the construction…
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…
This little octopus came out SO cute. Lorelai was cooing sweet words to it the entire time she was painting, which was pretty hysterical. (She needs a sibling… but let’s not go there now, haha.) This one was easy (as are all the crafts we do) and took very little time to do. Less than…
Okay, I know what you’re thinking. That looks more like a mutant penguin than an owl, but that’s my fault for choosing black for the toilet paper roll. Lorelai wanted to use gray feathers and me being lazy, didn’t want to mix up gray paint. So a word of advice: don’t use black paint unless…
How cute is this craft?! I saw it on a friend’s facebook and had to steal the idea (thanks, Amanda!). Lorelai was sitting next to me when I was scrolling through pictures and she immediately decided that she had to do this one. She loves our craft time. =) Materials We Used: Toilet Paper Roll…
In the spirit of Halloween and all things spooky, we did this fun spider craft. I originally saw this on Paper Crafts and immediately put it on our to-do list.Here’s what you need: – Empty toilet paper roll – Glue & staples (optional) – Paint & Accessories – Wiggly Eyes (optional – you can paint…

You have to admit, this is the most adorable salamander craft you’ve ever seen, isn’t it? Lorelai did such a great job on it! I love how she chose to do a rainbow gradient and black outline. It’s probably my favorite from her recent batch of crafts. Grab the printable below, and enjoy! Other Amphibian…
Tis the season for spooky crafts, including this not-so-spooky handprint bat craft! I’m always trying to brainstorm ways to do handprint crafts with my 2-year-old, and I came up with this one after coming across a few of our older bat crafts. It’s really simple to do! Just paint their hands, press down onto a…

I am so in love with all of these handprint and footprint crafts. I can’t believe how big Maddie’s foot has gotten! It takes up most of the center of a paper plate. My older daughter’s (9, Lorelai) doesn’t even fit anymore. Craziness! We had a day of crafting this past weekend and this is…
Halloween is such a fun holiday! There are so many fun craft possibilities! I’ve compiled a list of the Halloween crafts we have done this year, as well as years past. I will add to it as we do more. Please ‘PIN’ this post (hover over the picture) so that your friends can join in…
