This BB-8 puppet is the perfect craft for most kids – whether they are a Star Wars fan, or not! One thing the past two years has shown me is that my kids LOVE crafts. Love. Them. And they really love doing anything with paper. Our craft supplies have grown exponentially since early 2020, and …
This turkey napkin holder craft is easy and fun for the kids to create for your Thanksgiving table. My kids love making crafts, especially my five-year-old daughter. The bookcase in our dining room is filled with bins of craft supplies – one being on the very top of the bookcase, out of reach of my …
An easy step by step tutorial for a Grinch bookmark craft. This is a simple and fun tutorial for a Grinch craft.
In 2020, my kids got really into perler bead craft projects. We did a lot of kits (we love the Super Mario Bros. kit and the Harry Potter kit!) This Mickey Mouse perler bead keychain is really cute – and you don’t necessarily need to create a keychain if you’re a Mickey fan. My kids …

Tie-dyeing has been all the rage this past year (and, of course, when I was a kid.) With my kids home all summer and with me having a little more time on my hands to do some fun activities, I thought it might be fun to give tie-dye a shot. Oh, and we will be …
I have a family of Star Wars fanatics, and my kids love a good craft. This R2D2 paper craft is a fun craft for all ages! My son has been into Star Wars ever since he was able to begin grasping the concept of the movies. My husband has watched most of the movies with …
These six paper Pokemon puppets are so fun for little hands and your favorite Pokemon fan. My son discovered Pokemon early in grade school (he’s in 3rd grade as I write this.) It took some time before he joined a Pokemon league, and his love for all things Pokemon expanded to drawing Pikachu and other …
Get ready for some fun with this One Fish Two Fish paper plate craft! When lockdowns began last March, I was desperately looking for activities to keep my preschooler busy (something other than the endless amounts of television she was watching, and that would also minimize interruptions as I Zoomed my day away.) I have …
If you’ve followed me on social media, you know I love fun masks. I love a really great mask, and I’ve built quite the collection! I’m now sharing my collection on Etsy. In June, I finally tried sewing a mask. As of mid-December, I’ve made almost 300 – and more than 80 of those have …
Toddler crafts and activities can be short, and sometimes hard to come by. We’ve been home for more than three weeks with a 2nd grader and a 3-year-old. The 2nd grader has assignments coming in, so it’s easier to keep him busy and learning throughout the day. My youngest has been a tad harder. I …
We’re home for the next couple of months and I’m looking at family-friendly classes my kids can handle – that can be done from home! Craftsy is your one-stop shop for online crafty courses. With my kids at home, they are doing some virtual learning, but they have a LOT of hours left in the …
Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching and I think creating handmade Valentine’s Day gifts is one of my favorite things to do for the big day of love! In our dating days, my (now) husband and I made a lot of our gifts for each other – from mixed CDs (I’m showing my age) to crocheted …
My baby girl turned 3 and the weekend before her birthday we threw a small Minnie Mouse themed birthday party. She LOVES Minnie, so I was excited to create a couple of things for her big day. (Bonus, the Minnie Mouse centerpieces now reside in her room and her hair clip her hair clip can …
I’ve experimented with candy molds over the years and there are so many things you can do with the molds. Since I started using essential oils more than a year ago, I’ve been trying different projects at home – and this Christmas tree scented soap project is so cute! I’m including links to where you …
I have a long list of holiday movies that I’ve already started watching in preparation of Christmas. Our tree is going up this weekend, and the crafts are being made. Every year I have lofty ambitions, and since I’ve had kids, my lengthier craft projects have been put to the side. This year I decided …
I love decorating and crafting for Christmas, and this year I appear to be in a mason jar crafting mood. (Next week I have another mason jar craft coming your way!) For right now, I have these super fun and easy painted Christmas Mason Jars! And if you don’t decorate or craft much for Christmas, …
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #EarnWithBoxTops #CollectiveBias Early in the school year, we were asked to collect Box Tops for Education® for my son’s class. The classes had a competition for who could bring in the most, and I enlisted the help of …
Last spring my husband had a work trip to Colorado, and he brought back something for everyone. My son was introduced to bath bombs – and quickly became obsessed with the fun fizzy bath phenomenons. He loves the different smells, but really he just likes seeing them fizz and change the bath water different colors. …
The following post is sponsored by Terminix. As always, thoughts and opinions are my own. For years, I’ve enjoyed making ornaments for our Christmas tree. Long before my husband and I had even met, I painted ceramics and had ONLY hand painted ornaments on my tree. I was a little particular for a few years, …
Thanks to Terminix for sponsoring this post. As always, opinions and cute photos of my kid are my own. My son is at a fun age. He understands (kind of) what it is to be thankful and it’s interesting what he says he’s grateful for. Last year, I remember seeing something at my son’s preschool …
We spent a lot of time in the leaves this weekend. If you’re new to my blog, well…we have a lot of leaves from just a few trees in our yard. We have to mulch and bag our leaves for the city to pick up (or for my mom to use in her yard) and …
The following is a collaboration with Terminix. While I have been compensated for this post, all opinions are my own. About a month ago, my husband and I were in a restaurant for a friend’s birthday. The restaurant had a salt scrub in their restrooms you could use and my husband loved it. He came …
There are still a few days left to get your craft on when it comes to Halloween – and some of these are great no matter the season. In fact, it’s supposed to rain in our area this weekend, so I’ll definitely be pulling out the craft supplies to keep my older one entertained. Check …
