We headed out for our annual trip to a special conservation area over the Thanksgiving weekend (I know, it is early here in Canada – or so I’m told. As a born and raised Canadian it is just normal to me …) This year I brought this little gem along. Worked out beautifully for 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…
A Sticky Valentine Craft for Toddlers
With just about a month to go before Valentine’s day, I thought we would get started with a Valentine craft for toddlers in our home. And goodness – this one was a success! Little Norah has just turned two and loves all things crafts (not sure where she gets that from …) So crafting has…

It is only 1 week away so I thought it time to think about Valentine’s Day crafts for preschoolers! Break out the pink and red crafting supplies friends – here we go! Are you getting into the holiday spirit yet?! I know what your thinking – ‘holiday spirit’ – good grief! We are talking Valentine’s…
Christmas Ornaments made with Salt Dough and Cloves
We woke up to a winter wonderland! And after quite a bit of snow disappointment too. We were told there would be snow on Monday – nothing. Tuesday for sure – nothing. Wednesday we would be buried! Nothing. Thursday: get those parkas out – nothing. Friday the snow finally arrived! But for some reason not…
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…

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 it’s way (or Halloween, depending on the year … but this year – Christmas!) I wrote about Christmas…
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…
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…
