It’s that time of year for all of those fresh, local berries and goodies! We have been visiting our local farmer’s market each week and each week I am so thankful that there are gardeners far better than I. This also means that we have been getting oodles of those green plastic baskets too. And oodles…
The Easiest Kid-Made Movies!
I am excited to partner with Wikki Stix to bring you this post that gets kids creating and making! Goodness how easy it is to fall into the rhythm of just a little too much TV and screens in the summertime. A show or two in the morning in jammies, maybe another after some time…
Fingerprint Keepsake Craft for Kids!
I have mentioned here a time or two how much I love keepsake crafts for kids. Of course I love messy process art and all things creative for my little ones also, but now and again there is certainly a place for a good old fashion keepsake craft. Each year I teach Kindergarten I send…
Kid-made Rollerskates!
There are certain posts that I never plan on writing. A post on how to make your own rollerskates? Definitely not something that I thought was in my wheel house to share. However, amazing things can happen when you let little ones play, explore, and create – can’t they? My Sam is the inventor behind…
A Clay Birds Nest
Looking to make a bird’s nest? Us too! Who wouldn’t be?! It is spring after all, so crafting must take a healthy nature twist as we readjust ourselves to being outside more. In fact, last spring we dissected a bird’s nest and I declared then and there that we would be attempting to make one….

45 Gorgeous Gifts Kids Can Make
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…
