Trending Post: Fall Crafts Round-Up
With Christmas only a week away, I have been trying to squeeze in many simple holiday crafts. Since handprint crafts are our favorite, we did another one… a peace dove! We all loved how this one turned out and ended up hanging him on our fridge. We made ours using construction paper – I just…
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…
Valentines Day is just a few days away! We haven’t had the chance to do many fun projects for the holiday as of late, but we will make up for it this week. I originally saw this on Pinterest (original pin) and knew we would have to do it! We did a fun handprint heart…
I saw this adorable handprint snowflake project on what to do with children and knew immediately we would have to do it! Lorelai has been battling a tummy bug for the past couple of days and is finally starting to feel better. She asked to get crafty tonight and this was the first thing I…
>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:…
Sigh. I love this easy Handprint Santa Craft! We did this one last year with our playgroup, but I don’t think I ever got around to blogging it. This is very simple and only took a few minutes to do. We painted a paper plate green first so that the Santa would have a nicer…
We have done this craft before, but I guess I never got around to blogging it in years past. It’s so cute and simple. All you need is paint, a paintbrush, piece of paper, and hands & a foot. We did the foot first to get it out of the way, then the hands. Add…
I love how this one turned out. It was sooooo easy to do and it only took a few minutes. I saw this on Pinterest, but it was done on a blue Christmas ornament. I don’t have any plain large ornaments, so I switched the craft to paper. Cute!! Directions are simple: paint your child’s…
Here is the other Handprint craft we did this morning. I’m sure we did this one last year, but I can’t find it on the blog to link to it. We did do these cute thumbprint reindeer and also a reindeer with handprint antlers. In addition to those, there is also the paper plate reindeer…
I’ve seen many versions of this craft on Pinterest. Most don’t have a big pink ear – they just draw on the ear with a sharpie after the gray elephant is dry. Lorelai wanted the pink ear, though, so that’s the route we went. It’s a very simple process that doesn’t really require directions –…
I think this little guy came out pretty well considering I was just winging the entire thing! after making so many printables for Lore’s animal encyclopedia list, I decided to make the little hamster a handprint craft instead. No fun painting something that’s just a little blob! She loved it though! Materials We Used: Light…
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…
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…
We can’t finish up Ocean Week without a fish craft! Lorelai enjoyed seeing her little ocean and fish come together. This one is so easy that directions really aren’t necessary, but for the sake of being thorough, here you go: What We Used: Paper Plate Watercolor Paint Orange Tempera Paint Glue Googly Eye Paintbrushes Marker…
Who knew a crab could be so cute?! Just two handprints, a couple of googly eyes, and a tan crayon to color the sand, and you’ll have yourself an adorable crab. We did a printable crab craft last summer but seeing as we’re on Ocean Week, I figured another craft couldn’t hurt. =)
I’m so behind! This past week, Lorelai met up with some of her friends from the playgroup we’re a part of and they all did some cute and easy Easter crafts! We did a variation of the handprint chick last year and it was a big hit. She was really proud of her creations and…
Tomorrow is National Penguin Day! To celebrate here on LCL, Lorelai did a classic handprint penguin. No worries – we are celebrating tomorrow as well with the playgroup. I’ll put that craft up tomorrow afternoon/evening. =) We haven’t crafted since last week since I had some health issues come up this past weekend, so she…
Two for one today! I was going to do separate posts, but since they are both essentially the same craft, it made more sense to do them together. We did the chick yesterday and the owl today, to go along with the Color By Numbers sheet. Lorelai really enjoyed doing this. She helped trace her…
Lorelai got to choose today’s craft. We were browsing a few of my go-to craft idea websites and she quickly decided on another Christmas tree. I had seen something like this done before and thought it was so cute… so that’s what we did! She was so stoaked about this one – the evidence is…
I wanted to do a quick and easy craft today to make up for yesterday’s failed attempts. When doing this other hand print spider, I wondered if we could do it with paint. Same basic thing, right? Except it takes a fraction of the time – great for when you don’t have all of the…
