Trending Post: Fall Crafts Round-Up
Lorelai and I sat down and brainstormed some “new” crafts a few days ago. We realized that we hadn’t crafted a cow besides the paper plate cow ages ago. Another obvious, common animal that we skipped right over. So I went to work and made a cute printable cow for her to paint and assemble….
Okay, so Lorelai did this watermelon craft last week. So why do another? For one, this one is different. Two, I was so disorganized a couple of weeks ago that I forgot that I even made the first one! I’m not kidding. Luckily, I didn’t do two of the exact same watermelon. =) This one…
It’s time for the Olympics! Talk about the Olympics is everywhere these days, so I thought it’d be fun for Lore to do a craft of the Olympic rings. Did you know that each the rings represent the five major regions of the world? Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania. Lorelai, however, would tell…
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…
Cinco de Mayo is right around the corner, not that we really celebrate it much. I usually do a craft or two with Lorelai because it’s fun. Last year we did a paper plate maraca, which looked awesome but could have been better (use bowls!). This year we did this sombrero craft with some of…
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…
Earth Day is tomorrow, April 22nd, and to ‘celebrate’ we made this cute earth craft. I’ve seen this one all over pinterest, but done in a variety of ways. A bunch had one handprint, and one footprint, but I really didn’t want to get into all of that. We just stuck with two handprints ~…
Lorelai requested a solar system craft after watching an episode of Bubble Guppies last week. I thought it was a GREAT idea! I’ve also been wanting to bring back themed weeks in our preschool program so this was the perfect excuse. I’ve got a space-themed activity or craft lined up for every day this week….

We flew back to Houston early yesterday morning, and Lorelai has been missing all of the non-stop attention she got from my family up there. She was crawling up the walls this afternoon, so I decided to do a craft with her. We’ve missed it, and are way behind on Halloween crafts… Here’s one, Paper…

Open Crab Printable Last night Lorelai asked my to make her a couple more crafts. The first one she requested, after looking through our Maryland pictures, was a crab. She sat beside me the entire time I made the template and was really excited to see it come together in the end. While she was…
Hi, hello there. Remember me? It’s been a while, but I’m back! Lorelai and I got our craft on this morning and made a handprint bald eagle craft. I think it turned out really cute, and it’s sooo easy to do. Materials We Used: 1 Paper Plate (or paper if you wish) Paint: Brown, White,…
This is another one of those classic crafts that most people have done at least once if they have ever been to camp. I remember doing this one when I was in Girl Scouts. We are pretty busy today, so I’ll shut up now and go finish packing for our trip! 🙂 Materials Needed: Rock(s),…
Ah, the classic fish craft. If you’ve ever gone looking for a fish craft, you have probably come across this one a million times. I decided to spruce this one up with a fun painting technique called bubble painting. This technique is one I’ve also come across a lot lately, with varying instructions. My favorite…
I wanted to do a couple of crafts for Cinco de Mayo, which is coming up next week, and what better craft than a maraca? Paper plates probably aren’t the ideal medium for exactness, but we didn’t have any styrofoam/plastic cups on hand so we made do with the plates. The directions are pretty clear…
Motivated despite being sick, I printed out a couple of worksheets and whatnot that I made last week. The first is very similar to the Ladybug Worksheet, but with giraffes! There are two versions – one with numbers already printed in the circles, and one without. I printed the one without so that I could…
EDIT: MAKE THIS CRAFT INTO A VALENTINES DAY CRAFT BY MAKING LITTLE HEARTS FOR THE BACK INSTEAD OF DOTS! After not crafting for a… how long has it been? Precisely! We haven’t been doing many crafts. I’ve been uninspired and just blah. I think I got burnt out during the holidays when we were doing…
It’s been a quiet day around here so far. Lorelai was getting restless so I asked if she wanted to do a craft. “YES!!!!” *squeals* Then I asked what she wanted to make and she quickly said, “A monster! A purple monster.” So Mr. Monster was born… He was made from: a paper plate, a…
