I was very excited to prepare some Halloween party crafts for kids this year! I have 2 sisters and a brother and until recently I only had one niece. Well over the last two years our family has grown so I now have four nieces and nephews – adding that to my own three makes…
A Simple Post on a Qtip Skeleton
Simple Ghost Crafts – Dixie Ghosts
Simple ghost crafts are the name of the game right now. It all started with these (almost too simple) Facial tissue ghosts. Sammy and Madeline both became ghost making machines. As fun as they are, a Mama can only take so many facial tissue ghosts.
Simple Halloween Crafts for Kids: Facial Tissue Ghosts
I love simple crafts. Crafts should be fun and easy – enjoyable for everyone! I especially love easy holiday crafts – so I started thinking of simple Halloween Crafts for Kids. When I was teaching Kindergarten we did quite a few simple Halloween Crafts – and the favourite by far were these Facial Tissue Ghosts…
Not-So-Spooky Pine Cone Crafts and Matching Poems
Sammy is a collector of ‘treasures’ – as I believe most 3 year olds are. Lately on our walks he has been finding and collecting pine cones.

Amazingly Creative and Easy Baby Halloween Costumes
As I have mentioned, I am a big fan of any Holiday or Celebration! My wee ones and I love Halloween. Choosing costumes is something we spend a lot of time thinking about each season – as we like to make our own as much as possible. I decided to search on Pinterest for some…
