Trending Post: Fall Crafts Round-Up
Can you believe Thanksgiving is only a couple of days away? It really sneaked up on me this year. We squeezed in this fun pilgrim hat craft this morning and I wanted to share it quickly. It’s actually from this pilgrim hat craft that I designed years ago. We just re-made it this year and…
With Thanksgiving right around the corner, we are squeezing in as many turkey crafts as possible. We love to make bright, colorful turkeys, and this one is no exception. A few years ago, we made a very similar paper bag turkey craft, but we just free-handed it out of construction paper. I’ve been trying to…
Halloween has passed, and with Thanksgiving on the horizon, I’m trying to squeeze in all of our final fall crafts of the season. I made this paper plate pumpkin wreath with my 1.5 year-old last week. There is something about little handprints that just make my heart happy. She painted the paper plate orange all…
Tis the season for leaf crafts galore, and we have a few more coming up before the fall season is over! Today, I’m sharing this super easy and ADORABLE handprint leaf craft. This turned out so much better than I anticipated. My 1.5 year-old pointed up at the jar of paintbrushes I have on my…
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…
Here is another handprint craft we recently did with our 19 month-old daughter, Madeline. She loves anything to do with animals, so these handprint crafts have been a huge hit! We did a handprint polar bear, and this is pretty much the same, just brown. Super easy and cute to do with children of all…
I have been so obsessed over handprint crafts with my 18 month-old daughter, Madeline. Not only do they turn out so cute, but she loves doing them as well! Last week we made this adorable hedgehog craft. I figured the fingers would be perfect little spikes. So cute! We made a printable hedgehog/porcupine craft a…
Can we all take a moment to admire how stinking cute a little footprint is? This print belongs to my eighteen month-old, Madeline. She giggled and wiggled the entire time I was painting her foot. She’s obviously too young to know or care about Frankenstein, but she sure enjoyed being a part of the process!…
Flamingos are such beautiful birds, with their pink feathers and long necks. The last flamingo craft we made was this printable one four years ago! We revisted the animal recently with my eighteen month-old. She is taking after her sister and loving doing “crafffs”. =) Handprint crafts are the best thing at this age. Messy…
Pumpkin crafts are our absolute favorite this time of year. I always get excited with September & October roll around, so that we can get started on our fall crafts! Today, I’m sharing our newest sun-catcher craft, a pumpkin! We made a apple sun-catcher craft a few weeks ago. This one is very similar in…
Paper bag (brown lunch sack) puppets are a classic craft many have made before. They are one of our favorite types of crafts to make – my 8 year-old still loves them! We are happy to share some of our printable puppet templates with you all! PRINTABLE Puppet Sets: – Frog Puppet *printable* (more coming…
It’s that time of year again. School is starting up and apples are beginning to make their appearance. We usually enjoy a craft or two around this time that consists of apples, so I figured I’d round up ones we’ve done in the past for you. Here are some apple crafts and activities for you:…
Having lived in Texas the past 8 years, we have seen our fair share of longhorns. They are massive animals with horns that stick out several feet from the sides of their head. They really are cool animals! Lorelai was excited when I showed her the printable template that I designed. She painted hers a…
Jack o’ Lanterns are my absolute favorite Halloween decoration. So, it was a surprise when I realized we have not crafted a printable one yet. We have made Paper Plate JoLs, Thumbprints, and Sponge-Painted JoL’s! I designed this printable after being inspired from a decoration I bought from HomeGoods. Isn’t he so cute?! Print below…
Good morning! This is another one of those “I made it 6 months ago but am just now getting around to posting it because I had a baby and… life” posts. Instead of hanging onto it for another six months and posting it in the spring, I’m just going to toss it up now so…
Moving on from the Pronghorn & Tarantula crafts that I posted earlier this week, here is a Sidewinder Rattlesnake! This reptile is found in the desert as well. It’s been a while since we did a snake craft. The last ones we did were: Paper Chain Snake, King Snake, Printable Snake, Stocking Snake. Check those…
When coming up with a list of animals for our African Savannah unit, the lion was at the top of our list. In the past, we have made a cartoon lion craft and a paper plate lion mask, but this is the first realistic version. We decided to go for the whole family this time…
This craft was inspired by a night light my mom has in her home. The inside of its shell lights up when you turn the light on. It struck me that it would make the perfect sun catcher craft, and I was right. We finally got around to making a couple last week and it…
How about this Howler Monkey Craft? We have made several monkey crafts in the past — Monkey, Circus Monkey, Paper Plate Monkey, Orangutan Craft — but never a howler monkey. My six-year-old really loved this one. She did notice that he only has 3 legs, and I explained it’s because of the angle of the…
Good morning, crafty readers! Today I’m posting a new version of a craft we did a while back, a cow! The old cow craft that we made years ago is very cartoon-y (but super cute!). We also made a paper plate cow. Anyway, Lorelai and I both agreed that it was time to make a…
