DIY Princess Costume

DIY Princess Costume

Sophie may look more like her dad (according to others… I still don’t see it), but she certainly shares a lot of similar qualities with her mama. Confession: I’m not the most efficient decision maker. I’m kind of known as the most indecisive person ever. So it’s no surprise that my little girl took about 2…

DIY Paper Banner

Believe it or not, I don’t exactly consider myself a very crafty person. My husband would disagree, of course, but it’s never really been my thing. Every once in a while, though, I bury myself in craft supplies and get a little crazy. Sometimes things turn out, sometimes they don’t. This time, they did! These cute little…

In my mind, Owen’s still a baby, so it’s strange to see him act like a big boy! He’s so independent, and…

Leaf Rubbings {Kids Craft}

This might be the most simple art project in existence, but is still so much fun! I was surprised at how much Sophie got into it. When we started on the first leaf, she was squealing like it was magic. So cute. And yes, if you’re wondering, she had chocolate on her face in these pictures…

DIY Monster Wreath

DIY Monster Wreath

I honestly wished I had filmed my 2-year-old’s reaction to this monster wreath. It was priceless. He got this shocked look on his face, and kept giggling and saying “woah!” Then he went into dino-mode and started growling at it and pretending to bite it. He’s a bit on the crazy side… but we love him…

DIY Sock Puppets

Ever have one of those projects you have every intention of doing, but just… don’t? This was mine. I’ve wanted to make sock puppets for months but never got around to it! I finally did, and can’t believe it took me so long. They were so easy to put together, and the kids LOVE them….

More Than Markers: A List of over 75 different art supplies for kids!

I am such a creature of habit… just ask my family. I can listen to the same song 100 times in a row, eat the same sandwich for lunch everyday for a month, and wear the same outfit everyday for a week (I’d wash it, of course. I’m weird, but I’m not gross). My poor…

Paper Plate Tambourine

Paper Plate Tambourine

Story time, folks. Today, we made these paper tambourines. It was a fun craft, and the kids had a blast putting them together – we ended up making 5 of them! Owen even got into the artsy fartsy stuff, which he normally isn’t a huge fan of. When I took the kiddos outside to take…
