Double-Doodle Drawing + The Artful Parent book!
Hi everyone! How is your summer going? Feel like your days are just go-go-going by? That's how I've been feeling with traveling, weddings, summer camps, swim lessons... etc. According to my eldest, so far, this summer is "almost as fun as school." (Should I take that as a good thing???) Anyway, amidst all of the hustle and bustle, this lady has been feeling burned out. (And it's only July! Oof.)
Today I just wanted to share this easy art activity that my eldest and I recently did while my youngest "napped." (Notice the quotation marks. You can probably guess why I put those there...)
It's an activity called Double-Doodle Drawing and it's from the new The Artful Parent book, written by Jean from The Artful Parent blog.

Origami Friendship Math Quilt Craft
Brr, it's cold outside! Lately I've been enamored with quilt designs and origami crafts. Their bold colors and gorgeous geometric patterns really make me swoon! Today's post combines my love for both crafts. These origami paper quilts are really quite beautiful to look at. Folding them can be a bit of challenge, because there are so many units to fold. But, make them with some friends and you're sure to have some indoor fun during these cold winter nights.

Let's Build Beautiful 3D Card Structures!
What happens when you have access to the internet, shortened daylight hours, a craft-and-math loving kid, and a deck of old playing cards? Well, if you're me... you rally everyone together to do a STEAM activity! Yeah!
Tired of bouncing off the walls one night, our family tried our hands at making these nifty 3D Card Sculptures. They came out pretty cool and I thought I'd share them today with you!

Groovy Sticker Snowflakes Art (Printable included)
With the start of the new school year, our family is still trying to find its new normal. Transitions from school to home can sometimes be rough. So we've been trying to keep things easy with more downtime in the afternoon. We play at the park, read books, or do simple open-ended crafts. Today I wanted to share a really easy open-ended snowflake craft that my son and I really enjoyed. We pulled out some old stickers and made ourselves some groovy sticker snowflakes!

100 Color Challenge
Ever wonder just how big 100 really is? Lately my son and I have been talking about numbers. While small numbers are easy to imagine... large numbers always seem quite vague. 100? 1,000? 1,000,000? 10,000,000? We just don't have much experience dealing with numbers larger than 20 in the real world. So I came up with this really easy combination math activity and art activity. We challenged ourselves to make 100 colors together!

Playful and Easy Mathematics with Building Toys (And our favorite math books!)
Wanna know a secret? In college I majored in Engineering and minored in math. Eek. Surprised? Well...it's true! I'm a bit rusty now... but I will always have a soft spot for mathematics. There was something about solving a difficult problem that was so thrilling and satisfying.
Now that my son is older, my husband (who is also a math lover) and I have been trying to help him to love math too. With a new baby at home, I just haven't had time lately to plan math crafts and activities. (Mucho props to all you homeschooling mamas out there... don't know how you do it!) But, I've been giving myself a bit of slack and telling myself that it's ok. We've still been learning math together... just in a more open-ended and playful way.

When I grow up... Fortune Teller Fun with Preschoolers! (And a book list)
Did you ever fold fortune tellers as a kid? With no set nap times and a new baby, I've been trying to find easy ways to have fun with my older son. Recently I introduced him to fortune tellers and he totally dug them! We made them to predict what he would be when he grew up. He doodled the different jobs that he'd like to do and then we colored and folded the fortune tellers together!

FREE Color By Number Pirate Printables (And book list!)
We recently visited a friend's house and my son was enamored with these color-by-number sheets that his friends were working on. I'm not sure why, but he got a real kick out of finding numbers and coloring the design accordingly. After we went home, we ended up designing two pirate color-by-number sheet together. He really enjoyed coloring them in, so I'm sharing them in case you have a pirate and number loving child too!

Father's Day Super Secret Message Card
Father's Day is right around the corner! And surprise, surprise... Chuck and I have yet to make hubby a gift or a card. (I've been pretty sick lately, so I've totally been off the ball with crafts. Ack.) Last year we made these super cute Father's Day Cards. This year... well... it might just be a chocolate bar and a doodle. (Sorry hubby!)
But I still have a cute Father's Day card to share. This super-secret spy card would be great for older kids to make for dad. Kids create their own ciphers and codes. Then, dad decodes the message on Father's Day. Neat, right? You even turn the dials to find out the code. So. Cool!
You can find a video for this Super Secret Father's Day Message Card on PBS today!
(And if you need more tips on how to make the cipher work, check out my comments down in the comment section!)
