Trending Post: Fall Crafts Round-Up
St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner and I wanted to get a head start on the crafts for it. Lorelai was all for crafting today since we haven’t done any in the past week. So I made a printable and pulled out the bead box for this one… a beaded 4 leaf clover!…
We have all been enjoying the valentine animals that Lore has crafted. We have them displayed on the book shelves, on the fridge, etc. I saw something similar to this craft on the Disney website and decided to make my own version of it into a printable. Lore was happy that she got to do…
Since tomorrow is Groundhog Day, I decided to do a craft and activity with Lorelai to acknowledge it. Not a big deal, this holiday, but it was always fun as a kid for me and I want to pass that on. We went with a groundhog headband for the craft and a shadow outline for…
Slow morning and I feel like rambling a bit. 🙂 Here are the supplies we use on a daily basis: #1: Paint, and lots of it. Tempera paint is used in most of our crafts. It’s fun on nonconstructive and constructive crafts alike. (For less mess, use cups like these.) #2: Cardstock Paper. It’s a…
Lorelai was practically squeaking with suppressed joy when she saw me get out the glitter from one of our craft boxes this morning. She ran around and around in circles, clutching it to her chest with a giant smile on her face. I wish I had got that on camera; it was pretty hilarious! Here…
Open Turkey Body & Open Turkey Feathers I made this turkey template last night so that Lorelai would have something fun to do today. Mayo will be getting some overtime in today and won’t be home til later than usual. It didn’t take long to do this craft. I gave Lorelai the option of coloring…
It’s been over a week since I’ve done a craft with Lorelai. She was missing it today and actually asked first thing this morning to “make” something. I had this craft up in my noggin for a while, but I hadn’t gotten around to creating the hat yet. I sat down this morning and quickly…
Here’s a fun cornucopia craft. We did this today after I finished printing everything. The food & acorns were from fonts that I found online and the leaves were basic Photoshop shapes. The cornucopia was a whole other story. I searched online for a printable but couldn’t find one that would suit our purposes. So,…
How is it already time for back to school posts? This summer seemed to fly by for me and my girls, but despite that, we are all ready to get back into the swing of things. Having our days structured and planned out will help keep things in order and moving along. Madeline is starting…

I have so many memories using these Do-A-Dot markers when I was growing up. From simple art to craft projects, they always came in handy. I decided to start making pages for Madeline to dot/decorate as an alternative to crayons and paint. She really enjoyed doing these two autumn-themed printables: the leaf and the pumpkin….
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…
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…
School starts in just a few short weeks here. I can’t say that I’m glad – summer has flown for us! We went for a month-long trip to visit my family in June. And July? I have NO idea where the last month went. I’m sure August will be the same. My daughter is going…
Here are the playdough mats for the letters S & T! I chose to use the sea turtle and tree frog from crafts past. =) You can see our other printable playdough mats here. We stick ours in sheet protectors (you can laminate, though!) and “color” them with playdough. Crayons and markers would work just…
Hey there! I want to share this fun painting project with you all. I was chopping celery the other night and got down to the hard end that I normally toss, when a Craftsy post popped into my head. I’d been meaning to try this fun celery printing project since I saw it and I’m…
We took some time this evening before bedtime to learn about the life cycle of chickens! I designed the printables last week and we were thankfully able to get to them today. The first week of school has been hectic, to say the least. We’re finding our groove though, and Lore was super happy to…

Dress Shop Order Form & Dress Shop Design Center A while back, I put up a printable paper dresses so that my little fashion designer could decorate and “design” dresses when we play Dress Shop. It hit me last week that I should make a Dress Shop Pretend Play Set! Pretending to be a dress…
