Are the flowers blooming where you are? Spring is fully in the air and I am LOOOOOVING it. Today's craft doubles as a flower craft and spring craft. We're making super easy paint chip flower bookmarks!
Ice cream and origami. Two of my current favorite things in life. Today I'm sharing a super cute and easy origami and paper craft- origami ice cream cones! These little guys are super sweet and easy to make.

There is something about process art that really appeals to me. When my son and I are free to just explore materials, there's more room to be creative (and a whole lot less pressure on both of us to make things "look right.") We get to explore, create, and talk with each other. Now, I will always love cute kids' crafts. (Googly eyes and glitter will always hold a special place in my heart!) But lately I've just had enough time (and energy) to put out open-ended projects for us to do.
Here's a recent window process art activity that we recently did together...

They allow kids to freely create art without worrying about making things "right" or "perfect." They're super easy to make. (My preschooler didn't need help at all!) And they use everyday materials. (Fancy-shmancy materials aren't needed!) Annnd... the resulting craft looks pretty smashing, wouldn't you say?

Are you ready to make yourself some shiny aluminum necklaces? (Hmm.. now that I'm thinking of it, they kind of look like cloisonne beads, don't you think?) Let's create!
I've been wanting to to try printmaking with my preschooler for awhile now. After seeing this great Easter Egg Printing post from The Artful Parent, I thought I'd give styrofoam printing a try. Styrofoam printing is cheap and doesn't (really) need any special materials. Sounds great, right? Today'sEaster craftis making these neat Easter Egg Prints with your kiddos.
Egg-cellent Easter Egg Printing!

Feeling colorful lately? Looking for fun and easy rainbow themed crafts and activities? Or maybe you're just starting to peek around for St. Patrick's Day Crafts?
I've currently got rainbows on my mind. But, with a new baby at home, we've kinda been in survival mode (aka, crafting... and sleep happen pretty infrequently...) So, while we adjust to this new norm, I thought I'd comb through the blog's archives to create a roundup of 20+ colorful activities and crafts.
Hope you have fun and get inspired by the posts below!

Today I've got another unique paper plate craft to add to our ever growing list of paper plate crafts. Recently I transformed several paper plates into beautiful 3D fish. Then, my son and I got to work painting them with all the vibrant colors of the rainbow!

The quest for easy Chinese New Year Crafts continues! I've been reading up a bit on the holiday to help me explain it to my older son. Recently I learned that we often see plum blossom flowers decorating homes around this time of year. Apparently they represent perseverance, courage, and reliability. (Beautiful, right?) Well, we don't have any plum blossom flowers around here.... but we do have pink tissue paper and twigs. So we grabbed our crafting materials and then set to making ourselves some really easy and beautiful flower decorations for the New Year!

What's the weather looking like where you are? It's been raining pretty hard over here, so we've been stuck at indoors quite a bit. (But we don't mind at all because we desperately need the rain! Boo, drought.) Inspired by our rainy weather, today I'm sharing this fun and easy printable weather-themed board game with y'all. Just print it out, color it in, and play it with your kiddos!

Recently my son and I have been talking a lot about the weather. We're currently in the middle of a horrible drought in Southern California so we desperately need rain. Since we always have a ton of cardboard rolls lying around (which we LUUURVE using for cardboard roll crafts), we recently made a rainmaker together. Set-up was simple and it was a snap to put it together.
Here's how we did it!
