Cup-Holder Flower Recycled Craft
Recycled materials are always fun to craft with. I collect paper towel and tissue paper rolls, bottle caps, cereal boxes (broken down), old magazines, and more. No, I’m not a hoarder. I have a small box under my kitchen sink that I keep filled with materials we can turn into a craft. I came up […]

Printable Flower & Pot Craft
This one was inspired by a pin I ran across on Pinterest yesterday. Lorelai was sitting beside me, spotted it, and immediately asked to make it the colorful, painted flower. It wasn’t a printable so I quickly made one. She had fun using a bunch of different colors. I can’t find the original pin, but […]

Blow Art Chicks
Lorelai was getting pretty restless this evening before dinner, so we went out onto the patio to do a fun spring craft. This one was really easy and quick, and I’m grateful for that since it was SO windy! I consider this blow art, even though it’s not as splattery as typical blow art. You […]

After getting dressed and eating breakfast, Lorelai asked to do a craft. I had been wanting to do scratch art with her for a long time, but I always forgot… until today! I decided to make it more than just scratch art by making a flower as well, since it’s spring. Lorelai loved it! After […]
