I remember being little and creating sweet homemade gifts to give to my friends and family. I want my children to learn all about this too. The idea of creating something using nothing but a few crafts supplies, lots of time, and loads of love. That is what gift giving is all about! I started…
The Loveliest Spring Activities for Preschoolers!
Oh goodness do I love spring! I am always completely and utterly ready for spring activities by February. So you can only imagine how ready I am when the snow actually melts and spring weather actually comes late April. But in the meantime – we will fully pretend! I thought it time to share these amazing…
Seed Art Ideas for Kids!
This week marks the beginning of Spring! Though there is nothing at all spring like around these parts yet. We have snow on top of our snow, and ice below that. This has been one long winter. But it will end. One day we will wake up and it will not look quite so white…
St Patrick’s Day Craft: Pepper Stamping!
We really don’t celebrate St Patrick’s day. I said it. The cat is out of the bag. I am a Mom who blogs about activities for kids and I don’t celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. I am not anti-leprechaun at all (in fact, if anything I would be completely pro-leprechaun). It is just that March is…
A Rainbow Scavenger Hunt
In our never ending quest to find Spring, we created a rainbow – a big rainbow. We went on a color scavenger hunt for all of the colors of the rainbow, and placed them in an arc. Nothing fancy – but truly a very engaging activity full of learning. We started with a rainbow colors…

It is only 1 week away so I thought it time to think about Valentine’s Day crafts! Are you getting into the holiday spirit yet?! I know what your thinking – ‘holiday spirit’ – good grief! We are talking Valentine’s Day, right? Yes. Because you see, for those of us who do not enjoy the…
Pretty Valentine’s Day Flowers
The count down is officially on to Valentine’s Day. Fourteen days to go! We are still making little creations to send to Grandma and Gigi for Valentine’s Day. With some Valentine’s made with celery stamping, and some cozy yarn wrapped hearts already set to go, I thought we would make some non-heart valentines. We have…
Groundhog Day crafts for preschoolers!
Groundhog Day crafts for preschooler is what we are ALL about right now. It is just around the corner on February 2nd! Yes, it is a silly little holiday. Yes, it is not even actually classified as a holiday. Yes, I have already shared 2 posts with you about Groundhog Day. And yet here we…
Loofa Snowmen!
I do believe I have found the recipe for getting my creativity flowing. The key seems to be a glass of wine and a shower (Don’t worry – I shower at night, so the wine is reasonable). I tell you – SO many inspired crafts come to me in the shower. Actually, I would love…
