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.

Lego Snow Jars for Kids (and 6 more Lego inspired projects!)
I'm all about cheap and cheerful crafts... and my son is all about Lego. (I realized we were officially a Lego household when I woke up with a minifigure in my bed the other day. Oy vey!) Inspired by the adorable miniature holiday displays and snowglobes in the stores, my son and I tried crafting our very own. But instead of using animals or cute townspeople, we put a Lego twist on these winter snowglobes. Tada! Here's a SUPER EASY winter snow scene craft.

Make Your Own Spotty Dotty Game!
These days our family is always rush, rush, rushing. Ever feel like that? Whenever we do get a moment to breathe I plan to make something with my eldest.... but then the baby ends up needing me for something too. So lately projects have to be quick and fun. Last weekend we created this simple DIY board game using materials that we already had around the house. It was really neat putting it together and making up our own game!

Quirky Fox Gift Box Craft
Ah fall. Colorful leaves, cool air, and.... forest animals? Hello, friends! We've done 3D Butterfly Gift Wrapping and Kiss Wrapping Paper over here on the blog. I figured it was time to do a fall-themed wrapping paper idea. And what says fall more than foxes? (Ok, ok. Perhaps forest animals aren't particularly fall-ish... but they are on trend and oh so cute!)

Easy DIY Marbled Clay Covered Pens
Ever swoon while you're walking through stationary stores? I looove pretty pens and paper. But I don't always like the price tag that's associated with them. Since we've been doing tons of clay projects lately, my son and I tried our hand at making clay covered pens.
I'll be honest. I wasn't too hopeful about the results. Plastic pens in ovens? Urmm... I worried that they would catch on fire... or melt. But it didn't happen! We turned a couple of el-cheapo-freebie pens into some fancy-shmancy marbled ones. Ooh la la! Aren't they gorgeous?
