Trending Post: Fall Crafts Round-Up
I’m happy to announce that this is the last animal in our Endangered Animals unit. I will be doing a round-up of all the crafts tomorrow! While the African elephant isn’t endangered, they are a threatened species. I thought they would be a great addition to this unit! Originally, I was just going to use…
Last week, we crafted this printable cheetah craft and Lore & I both loved how it turned out. When Lorelai asked to do a craft after dinner last night, I threw out the idea of a paper plate mask. She jumped all over the idea and asked to make another cheetah. The materials for this…
When researching different endangered animals for our Endangered Animals Unit, I came across the rare Vaquita. The vaquita also happens to be the National Marine Animal of Mexico — which fits in with our Around the World Series: Mexico as well! Anyway, the Vaquita is a very small cetacean that only grows to be 5-feet…
Having grown up near several farms, there was never a short abundance of opossums. They were the stuff of nightmares to my 10-year-old self. Of course, I only saw them threatened and scared – hissing and snapping their long teeth. We saw a tame(ish) opossum at an animal exhibit during a children’s festival last year….
Last week, our little family traveled down to the coast to have a beach day. We were all looking forward to the trip out of town, the wavy beach, and hot sand. What I didn’t expect to see were a bunch of brown pelicans fishing over the water. I sat under the umbrella for hours…

Painting has been my daughter’s favorite at-home activity since she was 18 months-old. She used to drag our little paint basket over to me, which meant she was ready to get her hands, face, and whatever clothing she was wearing at the time, messy. Now at 5.5, painting is still fun, but exploring different techniques…
Another owl? Yes, another owl. If you don’t know, we’re just a bit owl & butterfly obsessed! Lorelai and I crafted this paper plate owl last week after supper when things were winding down. It was very simple and came out really cute! Materials You’ll Need: 2 Paper Plates Brown Paint + paintbrushes Scissors Glue…
Butterflies and butterfly crafts have been the number one request from my 5.5 year-old lately. Some of the recent butterfly crafts we have done include this beautiful Monarch Butterfly, this Painted Lady butterfly, a cute Paper Roll Butterfly, a Handprint Butterfly, a GIANT Printable Butterfly, and a Popsicle Stick Butterfly. Okay, that’s more than a…
This craft has a serious identity crisis going on. I designed it as a hedgehog, but my husband pointed out that I made the spines just a tad bit too long, and Lore painted it as as a hedgehog (gray and black), so I’m labeling it as one. =) If you are looking for a…
Open Egg Printable We haven’t done many Easter crafts this year. Honestly, with the holiday being in March this year, it snuck right up on me. I was expecting a couple more weeks to plan out lots of fun crafts and activities. I’m sure we’ll make up for it this week! So I was grocery…
Last year we did this melted art rainbow for St. Patrick’s Day. This year, I wanted to switch it up a bit. Instead of using melted crayon, Lorelai glued down macaroni and then painted it. It turned out great! The use of macaroni gave it an element of texture and made doing the craft all…
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…
Lorelai has been begging me to do crafts today. Unfortunately, no new printables are made up right now, and we don’t have a printer here in Maryland. So I came up with this fun little painting activity for this afternoon. It was super easy and the hearts came out really cute! We did a similar…
Beluga whales are such beautiful creatures with their silky white skin and rounded heads. Lorelai has always been a fan, and was very excited to see this craft waiting for her. She ended up painting it a very light gray. I posed it in the snow after we were finished. =) Print below and enjoy!…
>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:…
Lorelai was pretty happy to see this craft! When I asked her if she wanted to do white lights or colored, she didn’t hesitate to say, “I want rainbow lights!!” =) We glued them down to two pieces of construction paper that had been taped together (on the back). Then we used a white crayon…
It’s that time of year again! The holidays are upon us, and you may be wondering what to put in your child’s stocking this year. Break away from the hygienic toothbrushes/socks/underwear, and choose the colorful and fun route! Not only is it fun, but a crafty stocking can be done very inexpensively. Here are a…
Lorelai was ready to craft today after taking a few days off. I thought up this craft while driving her to school the other day, and I just *knew* it would turn out cute… and it did! Suncatchers are such a fun, hands-on craft that I try to find an occasion to make one quite…
There are many ways to decorate this printable, but I wanted to try out a technique I saw (via Pinterest) on Helping Little Hands. This is one of those things that require common sense – is your child mature enough to do this with vigilant supervision? I had no doubt that Lore could…
