Spring! A time for flowers, butterflies, and… brightly colored spring crafts for toddlers? 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 right on…
Easter Egg Confetti Craft for Kids!
Happy (almost, kind of, sort of) Easter! With so many Easter crafts on the blog already, I was almost going to let this season go without adding another Easter egg craft for kids to this space. I mean… how many Easter egg crafts do we really need?! Turns out at least one more. This one…
A Sticky Valentine Craft for Toddlers
Can you believe Valentine’s Day is only a few days away? We only just took down our Christmas lights! As I’m writing that, I realize we may have waited a little too long to check that task off the list… Anywho… If you want to sneak in one more craft before Valentine’s Day, this Valentine…
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.

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…
Leaf-y Jack-o-lantern
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…
