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. […]
Paper Plate Pumpkin Wreath
Halloween has passed, and with Thanksgiving on the horizon, I’m trying to squeeze in all of our final fall crafts of the season. I made this paper plate pumpkin wreath with my 1.5 year-old last week. There is something about little handprints that just make my heart happy. She painted the paper plate orange all […]
Printable Pumpkin Sun-Catcher Craft
Pumpkin crafts are our absolute favorite this time of year. I always get excited with September & October roll around, so that we can get started on our fall crafts! Today, I’m sharing our newest sun-catcher craft, a pumpkin! We made a apple sun-catcher craft a few weeks ago. This one is very similar in […]
Printable Pumpkin Picture Frame
Thanks to Lorelai for coming up with the fun idea of making a pumpkin picture frame! This took no time to design and was a super quick activity for this afternoon. Instead of paint, she used markers and the whole process took maybe 10 minutes. I printed the picture at home, which is why it’s […]
Thumbprint Pumpkin Craft
‘Tis the season for spiced lattes, sweaters, and… pumpkin crafts! Anyone else excited about this? I feel like I missed out on my favorite season last year with my high-risk pregnancy and a handful of website hosting issues. Lorelai, my almost 8-year-old, agreed that we need to get back on the horse this fall. We’ve […]

Sponge Painted Jack-o-Lanterns
Every year around Halloween, I try to do at least one cute Jack-0-Lantern craft with Lorelai. In the past we did Candy Corn Jack-o-Lantern and a Paper Plate Jack-o-Lantern. Both are ridiculously cute! You can see all of our Halloween Crafts HERE! So what you will need for this craft is above — a sponge […]
Printable Pumpkin Craft
We have done many pumpkin-themed crafts in years past, but this is our first full-size, traditional pumpkin craft. Lorelai and I were talking about how much we love fall while she was painting this. We have so much fun stuff coming up in October that we can hardly wait. =) One of our favorites is […]
Beaded Pumpkin Craft
This was the first craft we did today (the second is posted below). Lorelai had just climbed out of bed, eaten her breakfast, and was still in her PJs with a messy head. Didn’t stop her from asking to do a craft though! We picked up these orange beads from Wal-Mart the other day. The […]
Pumpkin Faces Printable
Open Pumpkin Faces Printable Have your child decorate this sheet of blank pumpkins! Laminate it and use dry erase markers, or just go ahead and use regular markers or crayons. OR you could even go a step further and cut out some shapes out of black construction paper (triangles, mouths, hair, etc). Still not what […]
Paper Plate Jack-o-Lanterns
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 […]
Tissue Paper Pumpkin Craft
Pumpkin crafts are so fun, especially when the weather has cooled and fall is in full-swing. Today we did this adorable tissue paper pumpkin craft. We had a ton of tissue paper left over from our handprint fall tree craft, so I came up with this fun pumpkin for Lorelai. She absolutely loves tissue paper […]
Halloween Jack-o-Lantern Craft
Sitting in the kitchen this morning, I decided to do this classic Halloween pumpkin craft with Lorelai. I’m sure everyone has done this craft, or a variation of it, at some point in their lives. I figured doing it would open up the discussion of Halloween and talking about the pumpkin patch, carving pumpkins, and […]
