It is really starting to feel like the holiday season around here! We have officially started Christmas School (and the kids are LOVING it), the Christmas decorations are out, and we completed our first Christmas tradition of the year: making salt dough ornaments together! I can’t even tell you the number of times we have…
Christmas Art Project for Kids: Watercolor Pine Needles
I am so excited to share this easy—and beautiful—Christmas art project with you! It is a wonderful art project for even the littlest of artists. In fact, it’s from one of my newest resources called Little Woodland Artists! Sometimes, young artists like to have a few known skills up their sleeves to boost confidence before…
A Pumpkin Pinwheel
Did you know that I am afraid of horses? Well, maybe not afraid, but I am definitely nervous around them. They are so humongous! Once, I was at a horseback riding camp when I was little and I got stepped on. My toe was purple for years and years! A purple toe for years and…
Nature Mandalas: A Nature Activity for Preschoolers
Summer is full of time in nature for us. Whether it’s walks in the woods, trips to the beach, spending time with our chickens, or enjoying a nature activity, more often than not, you’ll find us outside. When fall arrives, though, we tend to migrate more and more indoors. So, I do my best to…
String Heart Art
String art always turns out so pretty. This craft we did for Valentine’s Day quite a few years back, and I am excited to do it again this week. Here’s the post from 9 (!!!) years ago. Please feel free to ‘awww’ at my tiny babes. With Valentine’s day coming up, we have been making…
Quick-Dry Rainbow Salt Tray
We all have different strengths and different needs, right? One of my strengths, I do believe, is my willingness to let my little ones get messy. It really doesn’t bother me one bit watching them slosh paint on the table, drip paintbrushes on the ground, or see those painted little hands touch freshly washed hair….
45 Gorgeous Gifts Kids Can Make
I remember being little and creating sweet homemade gifts to give to my friends and family. I loved sitting down to create something using nothing but a few crafts supplies, lots of time, and loads of love. Because those times were so memorable and meaningful for me, I want my children to learn all about…
Four Seasons Tree Sun Catchers
John and I had some time to ourselves this weekend. All of the kids went for a sleepover to Nana and Papa’s house, so John and I let loose and went… Antique and Flea Market Shopping! Yep. And it was fantastic. We sauntered along for hours looking at neat things, pondering where we could put…
The BIG LIST of Classic Kids Crafts
I am eager to partner with Oak Meadow to bring you this sponsored post on fabulous classic crafts for kids. Sometimes I make things far more complicated then they need to be. Okay … I do this quite often. For me I think this has to do with wanting to give my little ones the…
Sticking It to Fall Crafts!
The fall crafting is alive and well friends – though around these parts it sure doesn’t feel at all like Fall. We have been having record breaking hot days! It’s like Mother Nature remembered that she forgot to give us summer and is making up for lost time. When we are not out in the…
