Happy August friends! Autumn is just around the corner, so let’s start things off right with a great big list of Fall Crafts for kids, shall we? There is just something about Fall that brings out the crafting side of me … perhaps it’s the beautiful colours that inspire me, or the cooler weather that…
Breathtaking Nature Crafts for Kids
We sure do love our nature crafts around here. Summer is in full swing, so we are spending more and more time outside. This means two things: Our quiet time bins become incredibly important in helping those tired little souls get through the dinner time hour, and More and more outside things find their way…
Drawing like never before!
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Sphero. The opinions and text are all mine. I am thrilled to partner with Sphero Edu today to tell you all about the SPRK+ robot. Technology is the way of the future. There is absolutely no denying this fact — but I still get…
A Handy Kids Bracelet
Riddle me this … Why can I not find a craft kit for my son that is not pink, purple, flowery, or covered with girls? Not that he would mind the packaging — I know he really wouldn’t think twice about it, with his 7 year old gentle heart. But I do. With my giddishgeesh year…
Spring Crafts for 2 Year Olds
Spring! A time for flowers and butterflies and … brightly coloured toddler crafts? I should mention, for those of you who visit regularly and may be scratching your head — I don’t in fact have a two year old. But I am really holding onto that ‘toddler’ title of this baby of mine. Stretching it…
An Earth Day Craft for Preschoolers (and Kindergartners and Grade eights ….)
Earth Day is just around the corner – so I thought I would reshare this Earth Day Craft we did last year. I am happy to say we have avoided any horrible bugs this year, and that the boys are a bit better at taking medicine as well. So if you are in the mood…
Playdough is for the Birds!
It is the season for birds! Which makes it my Mamas least favourite time of the year. She is utterly terrified of birds. Which also means she is not such a fan of coming over to the farm, you know, given our flock of lovely feathery ladies. Especially since those ladies are so tame and…
From One Knit Square
Sammy’s school is hosting Mayfair and I had offered to do a little crafting. Sewing, knitting, painting, I said I would be most happy to try my hand at whatever was needed. The verdict was knitting. Gulp. You might remember my knitting struggles of the past – which I (sort of) began to overcome this…
Spring Nature Art for kids
We had our very first bout of spring last week and it was marvelous. It really made me realize that spring is truly right around the corner and my thoughts are drifting to warmer days, green grass and all of the beautiful flowers. We are so excited for the first blooms of the spring. We…
Making a Splash with Origami Boats
It all started so innocently. One paper hat. One single, little paper hat. How was I to know that an origami epidemic was about to happen? It turns out origami is a rather addictive type of paper craft for kids. One hat turns into many, which turn into planes, frogs, and boats too. (post contains…
