Printable Bumblebee Craft

April 14, 2013 by Kimberly 4 Comments

Spring is well underway here in Houston, and summer temps are very quickly approaching. Wanting to finish up our spring crafts, I made this cute bumblebee craft for Lorelai to paint and assemble. She enjoyed it! We did this bumblebee and flower craft a couple years ago and we were way overdue for another bumblebee. […]

Printable Giant Butterfly Craft

April 4, 2013 by Kimberly 1 Comment

Butterflies, butterflies, giant butterflies! =) I’ve been wanting to do this craft for weeks, and I finally got around to making it last night. Lorelai was thrilled to wake up to the sheets sitting on the kitchen table this morning. Yes, I said ‘sheets’… four, to be exact. It’s worth it, though! This giant butterfly […]

Printable Hungry Caterpillar Craft

January 3, 2013 by Kimberly 5 Comments

The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle is one of our favorite books. We read it all the time! So when Lorelai brought me the book last week and asked me if she could do a caterpillar craft, I said of course. I printed out our old caterpillar craft and she pointed to the book […]

Printable Comet Moth Craft

October 22, 2012 by Kimberly 2 Comments

Open Comet Moth Printable Another random craft that Lorelai chose from her animal encyclopedia! She actually did this almost a week ago, and I’m just now getting around to it. I think her comet moth turned out so cute! It’s a little tricky to glue down since the body is so thin, but if you […]

Printable Spider Craft

October 1, 2012 by Kimberly 7 Comments

Hello, October! I woke up to 62-degree, sunny weather this morning! If my back wasn’t still killing me (I messed it up somehow last week), then today would be perfect. =) Lorelai crafted this fun spider yesterday evening after dinner. I love how she decided to do striped legs – so cute! This is the […]

Printable Ant Craft

September 2, 2012 by Kimberly 4 Comments

Lorelai and I were just laughing over this ant because with the printable, it is huge! It was sitting next to her helicopter craft on the table and totally dwarfed it! Anyway, like the other crafts from today, she painted it yesterday. We were rained in from our plans and were getting bored, hence the […]

Printable Snail Craft

September 2, 2012 by Kimberly 5 Comments

We were way overdue for a cute snail craft! Lorelai painted this one yesterday and we cut it out and assembled this morning. She did the shell all by herself. She has been practicing blending a lot lately, and finally put her new painting technique to use on the snail. Print below! Open Snail Printable […]

Paper Roll Butterfly Craft

July 27, 2012 by Kimberly 2 Comments

  This craft was planned by Lorelai herself. The other day she asked to make a butterfly out of a toilet paper roll. I saved it for today since I knew it would go along well with the egg carton caterpillar that she crafted this morning. Having already used paint today, we went the construction […]

Egg Carton Caterpillar Craft

July 27, 2012 by Kimberly 2 Comments

It was so simple to make! What You’ll Need: Cardboard Egg Carton Scissors Paint Pipe Cleaner Googly Eyes Glue Marker Directions: Empty […]

Printable Firefly Craft

May 29, 2012 by Kimberly 2 Comments

Lorelai and her little cousin (T) did this firefly craft before lunch today. I was able to cut Lorelai’s after lunch but T’s is still drying. They both had fun with the paint, especially T. He used 5 different colors on his! Lightning bugs are just now coming out here in Maryland. At the memorial […]

Printable Grasshopper Craft

May 15, 2012 by Kimberly 8 Comments

This is another of Lore’s list animals… or in this case, insect. I wasn’t able to squeeze his long body, wing, head, and 6 legs into one sheet so this is a two-page printable. It can all be printed from the same PDF file though! Open Grasshopper Printable Printable Instructions | Terms of Use | […]

Printable Dragonfly Craft

May 12, 2012 by Kimberly 5 Comments

Open Dragonfly Printable I can’t believe it has taken me so long to make a dragonfly craft for Lorelai. Actually, if memory serves, I think we did do one in Maryland last year for my mom (she loves dragonflies) but I freehanded it and it came out… weird. This one is much better. =) Lorelai […]

Lovebug: Heart Caterpillar

January 31, 2012 by Kimberly 2 Comments

It’s okay. I’ll let you have a moment to collect yourself after seeing how adorable the craft my kid is. LOL! No really, the caterpillar is pretty cute and very Valentines-y. Lorelai did the majority of this craft – everything but cutting it out. I included some legs and antennas in the printable but I’m […]

Ladybug Lovebug Craft

January 26, 2012 by Kimberly 2 Comments

I’m FINALLY getting around to posting these Lovebug crafts! I made them weeks ago and Lorelai finally crafted them earlier this week. It’s been kind of busy around here, can you tell? =) Anyway, here is a cute spin on a ladybug craft – hearts instead of dots! This is a printable, so please feel […]

Spider Web & Spider Craft

October 16, 2011 by Kimberly 4 Comments

This is a fun and cute Halloween craft for kids that will definitely be refrigerator-worthy. Lorelai had so much fun doing this one, no doubt because of all of the sticky and gooey glue that she got to play with! Materials We Used: Scrapbook or cardstock paper (white) for the background. Black construction paper will […]

Thumbprint Bugs Crafts

July 7, 2011 by Kimberly 1 Comment

Lorelai asked to do a craft today after lunch and since time was an issue, I decided to do something pretty simple: thumbprint bugs. She chose a dragonfly (for Gammie) and a caterpillar (for PopPop). Directions are really simple: just let your child dip their thumbs into the paint and help him/her make a simple […]

Ladybug Rock Craft

May 22, 2011 by Kimberly 4 Comments

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), […]

Fun Butterfly Craft

April 15, 2011 by Kimberly 2 Comments

My friend Carey sent me a picture of a butterfly craft that she and her daughter made from felt. I thought it was so cute, and since Lorelai is in love with butterflies, I put it on our craft list. Unfortunately, we didn’t have any felt on hand (all of my scraps are buried under […]
