This past weekend, we visted a pet store that had an enormous frog in a tank. We were all so intrigued by it. I’m not 100% certain it was an African Bullfrog as its home wasn’t labeled. However, after doing some research when we got home, I learned that African bullfrogs get big and round […]
Long-Eared Owl Printable Craft
We have made plenty of owl crafts in the past, many of which you can find in our Bugs & Birds craft section. Lorelai asked for me to make her a long eared-owl printable for her after reading about them in one of her animal encyclopedias. Long-eared owls are so unique in that they have […]
Hamster Printable Craft
Do you have a pet hamster? We have one! She’s a brown, short-haired Syrian named Coco. Before her, we had a long-haired Syrian named Pastiere, who sadly passed away earlier this year after a long, happy life. I’m sharing this printable hamster craft I designed ages ago in case you want to make your own! […]
Da Vinci Artist Study & Copycat Painting
A while back, I posted this Artist Study printable that I created for Lorelai to use to help learn about different artists. She chose to do Leonardo da Vinci first. She learned some pretty neat facts about da Vinci from this website. She also viewed his complete works there, which included his famous paintings Mona […]
Nature Walk Observations & Scavenger Hunt Printable
Going on nature walks/hikes is one of our favorite things to do as a family. We regularly visit local parks and nature centers and just explore for a few hours. I decided to make an updated scavenger hunt/observation form for Lorelai to fill out today. This one is pretty basic and aimed for older kids, […]
Handprint Angel Craft with Printable Template
One positive thing about having children almost 8 years apart is that I get to reuse all of these fun crafts I made when Lorelai was younger. (Check out her handprint angel here!) Thanksgiving is over and Christmas is quickly approaching. I surprised Madeline with this printable and she was excited to make an angel […]
Artist Study – Printable Worksheet
In the past, Lorelai has done several copycat paintings to learn about various artists. Now that she’s older and we homeschool, I figured we could go a little more in depth with our artist studies. I couldn’t find a printable online that exactly fit what I was looking for, so I made my own. Lorelai […]
Do-A-Dot Pumpkin & Leaf Printable Pages
I have so many memories using these Do-A-Dot markers when I was growing up. From simple art to craft projects, they always came in handy. I decided to start making pages for Madeline to dot/decorate as an alternative to crayons and paint. She really enjoyed doing these two autumn-themed printables: the leaf and the pumpkin. […]
Pyramid Craft Printable Template
The last ancient Egypt craft that I will be sharing this week is our printable pyramid template. This craft actually makes a 3-D pyramid! Lorelai took her time and made a pyramid with bricks and a door. Then she left it on the windowsill where our puppy proceeded to tear it apart. She was bummed […]
Pharaoh Headdress Printable Craft
Last week, I posted this Eye of Ra Outline and stated that we were currently learning about ancient egypt. Another printable I made to go along with this unit is this pharaoh headdress. This is a 3-page printable that your child can paint or color, cut out, and glue together. We actually used staples to […]
Eye of Ra Printable Outline
This week in (home)school, we are learning about ancient Egypt. We are using Stories of the World and we didn’t have many of the materials needed for the coordinating activities they listed. So, naturally I had to make some of our own. One of those crafts is the Eye of Ra. I just made a […]
Cacti Printable Crafts
I’m a huge fan of cacti and other succulents, and have a large hanging pot of them in my kitchen window. When coming up with crafts to do this summer, cacti was one of the first that I decided to design. Included in this printable set are 3 different cactus plants. Grab the printable below, […]
Back to School Printable Crafts Round-Up
Hey y’all! Long time no post. Life has been super crazy, including a major move BACK TO TEXAS! More on that later. For now, let’s focus on August. August is when most kids go back to school, including mine. (Well, she’ll be homeschooled this year, but I digress.) We have done quite a few school-themed […]
Paper Plate Turtle Craft
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 […]
Hammerhead Shark Printable Craft
Shark crafts are always fun. You can see some of our other shark crafts here. Lorelai wanted to make a hammerhead shark, so I designed this one. I photographed it upside down, but you get the idea. =) Grab the printable below and enjoy! Open & Print: Hammerhead Shark Craft Instructions | Terms of Use […]
Supergirl Printable Craft
This fun craft was designed after my own little supergirls, Lorelai and Madeline. It actually looks just like Maddie; she has a wonder woman pajama set that she loves to wear. I thought it would be fun for them to make their own supergirl crafts. The printable is pretty simple. I didn’t break the body […]
Bunny Printable Craft
Hop Hop! Spring is near and we are all ready for the flowers to bloom and for all things fresh. We had a mild winter here on the east coast, so I can’t complain too much. Here’s a fun new bunny craft for the little ones to do before Easter (or whenever!)… grab the printable […]
Nocturnal Animals Craft Round-Up
Nocturnal animals are animals that are active during the night and sleep during the day. While some animals may be spotted during the day, most of them spend the whole day resting. I’ve compiled a list of printable crafts and craft ideas of well-known nocturnal animals. Check them out below! Nocturnal Animals Fox Raccoon Hedgehog […]
Leprechaun Hat Printable Craft
St. Paddy’s day is nearly here and I finally got around to making a new craft. You can check out our other fun St. Patrick’s Day crafts here. This one would be great to make as a hat/headband. Just staple two strips of cardstock together, then stape or glue the finished hat onto it. This […]
Shark Head Printable Craft
This shark craft is simple, but fun, and is perfect for any little shark-lover. Unlike our other shark crafts, this one features just a head with the mouth wide open. To be honest, the end product came out a little funnier than intended because of the eyes, but we can pretend he’s fierce and scary, […]
