Trending Post: Fall Crafts Round-Up
It’s Back to School time here in the U.S. Parents are flocking to the stores to buy lists of school supplies and new clothes. Kids are enjoying their last couple of weeks before heading back to the classroom. I’ve mentioned this already, but my little girl is starting first grade this year. She’s very excited…
Good morning, crafty folks! Today I’m sharing this gorilla craft that my six-year-old painted yesterday. I love how she used her watercolor paints here to blend the blue, purple, and black paints together. She made this cartoon gorilla craft a few years ago, so we were due for a newer, more realistic one. Print below…
We are big fans of frogs around here, especially frog crafts! We recently made a Paper Roll Frog that’s totally adorable, and also a Printable Frog, Orange Frog, Tree Frog, and a Frog Life Cycle set. Lorelai was so happy when she found this craft set up and ready for her when she got home…
Brown paper bag puppets are always fun to make. We have made quite a few, including an owl, eagle, puppy, and a giraffe. I thought this turkey puppet would be a fun Thanksgiving Craft to make, and I was right! Lorelai really enjoyed this one. She did almost all of the work. I just drew…
I designed this humpback whale craft for my animal-obsessed daughter. The whale itself is cut in half on the printable – you must glue the front and back parts together. I had to position it that way so that the whale wouldn’t too small. =) Print below and enjoy! Facts About Humpback Whales Humpback whales…

The best thing about this playdough recipe is…. there is no actual recipe. It’s that easy! Materials Needed: All purpose flour, water, hair conditioner (or shampoo), and a big bowl to mix it all in. Add the flour, a couple squirts of water, and a big squeeze of hair conditioner and mix. Mix with your…
Having grown up and lived on a farm for most of my life, it should come as no surprise that farm crafts have a special place in my heart. While my daughter was born and raised in a city, we go home to the country to visit my family every year. She loves everything about…
Making natural paintbrushes is a fun activity that produces great results! We really enjoyed this one – from making the brushes, to seeing the end product of the painting. It was all really neat! We have painted with spaghetti, pinecones, and cotton before, but this one definitely took the cake. These brushes would also work…
This is our last summer before kindergarten, and we are determined to make it a really fun one! Here are a list of activities that we hope to do this summer. Please feel free to share yours in the comments below! Water Activities: Go to the beach. Go to the pool & re-learn how to…
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…
Bald eagles are one of my favorite kinds of birds, and not just because I’m American. I grew up living near a farm that’s home to a family of eagles. Every winter, my dad, little brother, and I would walk across the icy swamp to check out the eagles’ nest. Every once in a while,…
Good morning! Today I’m posting about dogs, or more specifically, a brown paper bag dog puppet craft. That’s a mouthful. =) My animal-obsessed, future veterinarian recently requested another dog craft. We have been on a puppet kick lately, so this really was the perfect craft for her. Paper bag puppets are classic and are always…
Paper bag animal puppets are incredibly simple to make and result in lots of giggles and fun puppet play. We did a paper bag owl puppet a couple of days ago (posted yesterday), and decided to do this giraffe today. This one is a bit more involved, as you have to cut out the yellow…
After playing with our water beads earlier this week, and seeing how much Lorelai enjoyed it, I was inspired to make some rice sensory bins. I took it a step further and made “Habitat Bins” – not sure if that term has ever been used, but I’m using it! =) I found some pretty awesome…
He plants trees to benefit another generation. Caecilius Statius We have crafted a few trees here on LCL. Mostly handprint trees with tissue paper flowers or fingerprints ( 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 5 . 6 ), a paper roll apple tree, and a coconut tree. However, we hadn’t crafted a…
I’ve been hearing so much fun stuff about water beads, I decided to go on a hunt for them. After going to two different stores, I finally found some in the vase/flower section of Michaels. If you aren’t sure what water beads are exactly, they were designed to be used in flower arrangements. They suck…
I made these quick pick-a-chore tabs a while back – like months ago. I just unearthed them from a buried folder on my computer and decided they should be posted. I don’t have any pictures of these guys in action, but they are pretty handy for those who have kids (like mine) who hate doing…
Winter is still underway, and while it may be 70 degrees outside in Houston, we have been having fun reading about and crafting arctic animals! Here is a round-up of LearnCreateLove’s printable arctic animals. I will update this list as we do more, so be sure to PIN IT so that you can come back!…
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…
