I saw this adorable handprint snowflake project on what to do with children and knew immediately we would have to do it! Lorelai has been battling a tummy bug for the past couple of days and is finally starting to feel better. She asked to get crafty tonight and this was the first thing I […]
Handprint & Paper Roll Angel Craft
>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: […]
Handprint Santa Craft
Sigh. I love this easy Handprint Santa Craft! We did this one last year with our playgroup, but I don’t think I ever got around to blogging it. This is very simple and only took a few minutes to do. We painted a paper plate green first so that the Santa would have a nicer […]
Footprint & Handprint Reindeer Craft
We have done this craft before, but I guess I never got around to blogging it in years past. It’s so cute and simple. All you need is paint, a paintbrush, piece of paper, and hands & a foot. We did the foot first to get it out of the way, then the hands. Add […]
Handprint Nativity Animals
I stumbled across this awesome craft from Planet of the Apels last night and knew we had to do it today. It’s so simple, yet packs a powerful punch. We did our Nativity Scene Craft yesterday and this went hand-in-hand with it. As the nativity craft didn’t have many animals, this was a great craft […]
{ Handprint Snowmen Craft }
I love how this one turned out. It was sooooo easy to do and it only took a few minutes. I saw this on Pinterest, but it was done on a blue Christmas ornament. I don’t have any plain large ornaments, so I switched the craft to paper. Cute!! Directions are simple: paint your child’s […]
Simple Handprint Reindeer Craft
Here is the other Handprint craft we did this morning. I’m sure we did this one last year, but I can’t find it on the blog to link to it. We did do these cute thumbprint reindeer and also a reindeer with handprint antlers. In addition to those, there is also the paper plate reindeer […]
Handprint Christmas Tree
Ah, Christmas crafts… I’ve missed you! After doing a little non-stressful Black Friday shopping yesterday, we put up the Christmas tree. Yep, we are those people. Christmas crafts were surely soon to follow and they did – this morning! Lorelai was excited about this one. She loves Christmas trees and she loves getting her hands […]
Thankful Tree Craft
Being thankful is a year-round thing, but doing a thankful tree is usually reserved for Thanksgiving time. We have much to be thankful for in my family – a warm (or cool) home, my husband’s job, which allows me to stay home with Lorelai, family and friends, our health, and much, much more. I have […]
{ Handprint Ghosts }
We are about to run out the door to go to a pumpkin painting playdate, so I’ll make it quick. =) Lorelai made some handprint ghosts last night. We did footprint ghosts last year (and the year before), so we were ready to switch it up some. Plus, handprints are so much easier than footprints. […]
Handprint Elephant Craft
I’ve seen many versions of this craft on Pinterest. Most don’t have a big pink ear – they just draw on the ear with a sharpie after the gray elephant is dry. Lorelai wanted the pink ear, though, so that’s the route we went. It’s a very simple process that doesn’t really require directions – […]
Handprint Hamster Craft
I think this little guy came out pretty well considering I was just winging the entire thing! after making so many printables for Lore’s animal encyclopedia list, I decided to make the little hamster a handprint craft instead. No fun painting something that’s just a little blob! She loved it though! Materials We Used: Light […]
Paper Roll & Handprint Bald Eagle Craft
Happy Mothers Day! You’d think I’d get to take the day off of crafting, but little Lore was hearing nothing of it. I was able to put her off until around 2pm. At that point, she was getting supplies together herself. We usually keep crafting to the weekdays, but M got to see firsthand how […]
Handprint Sunflower Craft
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 […]
Handprint Fish Craft
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 […]
Handprint Crab Craft
Who knew a crab could be so cute?! Just two handprints, a couple of googly eyes, and a tan crayon to color the sand, and you’ll have yourself an adorable crab. We did a printable crab craft last summer but seeing as we’re on Ocean Week, I figured another craft couldn’t hurt. =)
Footprint Lobster Craft
I’m having such a hard time blogging on time these days! We did this one yesterday morning. It took a few tries to get the footprint right because Lorelai kept smearing it, but I think it came out really cute. We talked about the ocean and how some sea animals don’t have fins (crabs, lobsters, […]
{ Handprint Easter Chick & Bunny Headband Crafts }
I’m so behind! This past week, Lorelai met up with some of her friends from the playgroup we’re a part of and they all did some cute and easy Easter crafts! We did a variation of the handprint chick last year and it was a big hit. She was really proud of her creations and […]
Teaching Taste: Craft & Activity
I know I had originally planned to do the Five Senses theme all in one week, but we just had so much going on last week that were only able to do 2. Since we have some stuff planned this week as well, I’m going to finish up the theme (hopefully) by Friday. So today […]
Valentines Day Handprint Card
Lorelai and I were discussing Valentines Day again this afternoon and I asked her if she wanted to buy valentines this year or make them herself, and of course she chose making them herself. I asked her if she wanted to make on for her Gammie and she jumped all over that. I explained the […]
