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…

Christmas Art for Kids
It’s official – we have had snow! I just love the first snow. It means that Christmas is on it’s way (or Halloween, depending on the year … but this year – Christmas!) I wrote about Christmas crafts for kids last year that are super cute and fun for little ones to make. This year…

Easy Preschool Halloween Decorations: Jack-o-Lantern Windows
We whipped out this gem of a Halloween craft the other day — and I just need to say – it might be the best quiet time activity I have come up with. Not to toot my own horn, but any activity that keeps my little ones engaged on and off for a week deserves…
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…
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…
