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…
Dinosaur Stomp: A Prehistoric Kindergarten Homeschool Project
Did you know…? That’s usually how our conversations about dinosaurs begin. And the truth is, my answer is usually no. I am far from a dinosaur buff, but for those of us with dinosaur loving kids, the obsession is real. For kids, dinosaurs seem to walk that amazing line between science and fantasy. Kids can…
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…
Christmas Art for Kids
Do you know what goes hand in hand with snow in our home? Christmas art for kids! It’s official: we have had snow! I just love the first snow. It means that Christmas is on its way (or Halloween, depending on the year… but this year—Christmas!) I wrote about Christmas crafts for kids last year…

A Blossoming Spring Craft for Kids!
Winter is almost over! As much as I strive to enjoy each day and try to welcome the rhythm of the seasons – winter is a tough season for me … the grey, the wet, the cold, the cold …. the cold. But Spring is practically here! We are beginning the time of year when…
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…
Embossed Tin Leaves
The cold weather has settled here in my neck of the woods. Well, it settled a few weeks ago and then vanished and summer returned! But it is back again, and this time I do believe it will stay. We are in fact having that early Fall weather that includes layering up and starting the…
A Pretty Autumn Craft for Preschoolers
There is nothing quite like Autumn crafts. After the hustle and bustle of summertime fun outside, turning inside a little bit more as the weather cools is very welcomed by this Mama. And turning inside goes hand in hand with crafting around these parts. Who am I kidding? A lot of things go hand in…
