Pop-Up Paper Plate Rainbows

How to Doodle Frisbees
Hi everyone! Quick fun art idea here- I wasn't sure what to call this post originally. Doodle Frisbees? Art frisbees? Mandala frisbees? "Sharpies-are-so-cool-they-draw-on-everything" frisbees? Oh well. Names were never my strong suit. But I had to pop in and share this craft because I think it'd be a fun one to do for a party on during a playdate.

Easy, Pretty, Preschooler Fairy Houses
A couple of weeks ago, I hosted a playdate for some preschool-aged friends at the park. I love creating with kids, so I wanted to bring an easy, park-friendly, nature-inspired craft. These super easy cardboard fairy houses were perfect. There was very little prep and the kids loved looking for the items and making their own houses.

How to Make Best Friend Clay Necklaces
Did you own a best friend necklace as a kid? One of my friends recently bought a pair for her daughter and best friend. (They were groovy mood ones. Girls' jewelry has definitely gotten cuter since I was a kid.) I was so inspired by the cute necklaces that my son and I made our own clay friendship necklaces. Aren't they fun?
(And even though these were made for friends, this would be a great gift to make for Mother's Day or Valentine's Day too!)

Here's a super quick and easy origami craft that's perfect for spring or summer! Lately, we've been bitten by the gardening bug.

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!

Painting with Dandelions
One of our favorite Spring crafts is painting with dandelions. Dandelions are such a funny flower because every kid loves them, but every home-owning adult seems to despise them. We don't really have a front yard, so I personally adore them. My youngest and I recently spent one morning picking the yellow flowers and blowing the seeds around (sorry, neighbors!) Awhile back, I shared how we turn dandelions into dandelion chains and crowns. Today, I'm sharing another fun craft to do with the yellow flowers- paint with them!

Smiley Sun Popsicle Stick Weaving
Sometimes it feels like we go in craft cycles. Before, my son and I were really, really into origami projects. Now I'm starting to dream about doing more weaving projects. There's something really beautiful and relaxing about the process of weaving. There's a lovely pattern of movement and you always seems to get beautiful results.
So, in celebration of the sunny and warm weather, I recently made this really cute smiley sun popsicle stick weaving. If you enjoy weaving God's Eyes, you'll really enjoy this craft too!

Easy Printmaking Project for Kiddos: Colorful Initials!
Howdy friends! Today I wanted to just pop in and share this colorful, kid-friendly printmaking project. I know, it's been awhile since I've shared a printing project here. (I've been shying away from messier projects lately because my youngest has now entered the VERY precocious and active toddler years. Ahhh! ) But, I recently took a printmaking course and was enamored with the whole process.... so I had to try out the process with my eldest.
