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!

Tree Painting with Toddlers and Preschoolers
Well, the title of the post pretty much says it all! Last week we held an impromptu art playdate with some friends. I wanted to do an activity that was different, open-ended, and easy-to-set-up. This tree painting activity did the trick!

How to make Giant Gorgeous Jellyfish
Giant Jellyfish Decorations? What? Yup. Hi friends! Today's craft is a departure from my normal kids crafts. But I just had to share this gorgeous jellyfish craft here. Our church recently redecorated its nursery room. The new theme is under the sea and one of my very talented friends came up with this super easy (and cheap!) jellyfish design. We made about a dozen of them to hang up in the room and they look absolutely ethereal and gorgeous. So I thought I'd share what we did here in case any of you want to make your own giant floaty sea creatures 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.

Happy Woven Paper Turtles
Does anyone else enjoy weaving with kids? One of my most popular posts to date has been these adorable popsicle stick woven turtles. And I totally get why... they're super cute, easy to make, and teach kids a neat skill- yarn weaving!
Well, once again we've been bitten by the weaving bug. This time we took a different approach and made some woven paper turtles! Like their yarn counterparts, these are also super cute and kid-approved. (My 5-year-old loved making one alongside me!)

Family Watercolor Hand print Art
I'm always a bit nervous about transitions in life. And having a new baby has certainly been a humongous transition for our whole family. Diapers, giggles, crying, baby snuggles... we're still trying to find our new groove as a family of four. So I came up with this hand print art project to do with my eldest son. Despite all the crazy chaos that this stage of life brings, I still wanted to celebrate our family.

Rainbow Paper Plate Weaving Project
I've been a bit down in the dumps lately. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because of all of the transitions happening in my life... or lack of sleep... or both. Hopefully I'll feel better once summer starts. In the meantime, I've been doing quite a bit of crafting to cheer myself up. Recently I took my love of rainbow crafts and combined it with my love for paper plate crafts to make... tada! This lovely rainbow paper plate weaving craft!
