3D Optical Illusion Halloween Drawings
Have you seen those 3D hand drawings? They're amazing. Awhile back I became really intrigued with them and made these 3D Optical Illusion Hearts using the same drawing technique. Now that fall is in the air, I realized that this technique could be applied to Halloween too! So here's a super easy Halloween activity to try out with your kids after school. Doodle these 3D optical illusion pumpkins and kitties!

So today I'm sharing how to fold these really easy and fun origami snails.

Gorgeous "Painted" Oil Pastel Crystal Sun catchers
Have you ever tried "painting" with oil pastels? Every so often I feel all artsy-smartsy and pull out my big 'ol box of oil pastels and do an easy oil pastel craft with my kids. This past week I felt the urge and we made these crystal suncatchers by "painting" with oil pastels. The results were pretty gorgeous and the process was fun too!

Cardboard Ninja Throwing Stars
Ninja Crafts, I have found, can be quite polarizing. Some parents think they're super fun and great for birthday parties. Other parents are uncomfortable with kids using weapons like a sword, ninja stars, and such.
While I don't condone violence, I do realize that making toys that shoot, launch, or fly (like this pom pom shooter, car launcher, or this 1 sheet paper kite) are always crowd pleasers. (Plus, they're a great opportunity to slip in some STEAM learning.) So today I'm sharing this cute Ninja Throwing Star Craft. It was super easy to make and kept us relatively sane on a stuck-at-home-going-to-pull-my-hair-out-cleaning-the-pulled-out-puzzles-for-the-eight-time rainy day.

Charming Cardboard and Felt Bird Ornaments (Template Included)
I am IN LOVE with today's cardboard and felt bird ornaments. This Christmas craft reminds me of something you would find in Anthropologie. The birds are super sweet and folksy. And they're made of recycled cardboard and scraps of yarn and felt. So they're super easy on the wallet and good for the environment too! Getting excited? Let's get crafting!

We're painting some paper lanterns!

10 Super Cute and Fun Clothespin Crafts
What do you think about clothespins? Are they good craft materials or not? I wasn't a big fan of them for a long while because I just couldn't think of what to do with them. But after peeking around online I saw some pretty cute and fun clothespin crafts. If you're like me and you have a ton of wooden clothespins lying around (from when you needed just needed a couple but they only sold packs of like 100 at the store) then hopefully this list of 10 cute and fun clothespin crafts will offer you some creative and crafty inspiration too!

Clothespin People and Doodles
I needed a few clothespins for some crafts... but ended up acquiring a whole bunch more than necessary. They were just lying around, so I fiddled around and came up with a really fun, open-ended art project: Clothespin Doodles!

3D "I Love You" Hand Craft (And our Favorite Books about Love)
It's already February and I haven't yet put up any Valentine's Day Crafts this year. Oof! What kind of kid crafter am I?
I've just been so caught up in what's happening in our country and world that I haven't fully had the heart or energy to embrace doilies, flowers, chocolate, hearts.... basically anything Valentine's yet. But today I'm turning a new leaf. Here's my first Valentine's day craft of the season... these 3D "I Love You" Hands.
(They're not quite hearts and flowers and pun-ny sayings.. but it's a start, right?)

DIY Wooden Block Dolls
We've had a box of wooden blocks gathering dust in our closet for a couple of weeks now. Recently I tried breathing life into them with this fun craft. We made our own Wooden block dolls! Armed with stickers and Sharpies, we transformed plain jane blocks into cute characters. Aren't they adorable? I love how they're full of personality and charm.

Gorgeous, Kid-Made Birthday Banner (And my dream job...)
A few weeks ago, we invited a few school friends over for a play date. Since having a baby less than a year ago, I've been a bit (ok... let's be honest... VERY) nervous about having people over. I'm always pooped and don't really feel like entertaining. (Ever feel that way too?) But, I pushed myself to try and that's how I found myself with 5 kids running around our fairly small home. The kids played with toys and ran around outside... and surprisingly a lot of time was spent inside, painting and making art.
What?
You read that right, friends. Our teacher's birthday was coming up and I invited the children to help me paint her birthday banner. Once the kids saw the papers and art supplies on our table... they got right to work, creating the beautiful birthday letters below.
