Welcome to our final day of my4 Days of Giveaways! I has been a fun week and you have had the opportunity to enter a giveaway for an Oak Meadow’s Craft Kit, a Wikki Stix prize pack, and a gorgeous Art Bundle from The Purple Plum Studio. So what more could I possibly have in…
A Fall Leaf Potato Stamp
Oh, the good old potato stamp—it’s been a while, but we are back at it! I can’t for the life of me remember why we haven’t done this craft in so long. It was so fun, perfect for all 4 of my kids (um… and Mama, too), and they turned out so pretty. Just before…
The Ultimate No Cook Playdough Recipe
Sometimes it is fabulous to have a trick or two up your sleeve for when you need a quick craft or activity to save the day. My ULTIMATE, Easy, No Cook Playdough Recipe is definitely one trick that needs to be up there friends. Five minutes to make, and lasts for 6 months! I am…
Sticky Jewellery for Pretend Play!
I am excited to partner with Wikki Stix today to bring you this sponsored post about Unplug to Play and an epic giveaway! When asked if I would like to share a pretend play idea to bring some attention to National Unplug to Play day, my short answer was … “YES!” My longer answer was…
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…
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…
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…
Christmas Handprint Art
I try to share a lot of process, meaningful art activities for kids in this space. But sometimes? I go for the cute. The super cute, keepsake-worthy crafts that I adore pulling out each and every year. Just like today with this list of Christmas handprint art. And goodness, there are some adorable Christmas handprint…
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…
