Family Watercolor Heart Banners (and our 6 Favorite Valentine's Crafts)
This super sweet watercolor heart banner is a great Valentine's Craft celebrating the entire family. During a recent playdate, I had the preschoolers make their own heart banners for their family. The children enjoyed painting, gluing, and identifying all the members in their family. Here's how we made this craft.

"Dreaming of you" 3D Heart Art Project for Valentine's Day
It's January... which means it's time to start sharing Valentine's Day Craft Ideas! Last year I posted an easy way to draw 3D optical illusion hearts. They were such a hit. So this year I'm sharing this cute "Dreaming of You" 3D heart drawing. Like the previous art project, it uses curved and straight lines to create the illusion of a three-dimensional drawing. But this time I added some fun Sharpie details and a sweet sleepy heart face (because let's be real- who doesn't love a kawaii face?)
Here's how to draw these sleepy three-dimensional heart drawings with your kids.

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.

Doodle these 3D optical illusion pumpkins and kitties!

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!

Cardboard Ninja Throwing Stars
Ninja Crafts, I have found, can be quite polarizing. Some parents think they're super fun and great for birthday parties. Other parents are uncomfortable with kids using weapons like a sword, ninja stars, and such.
While I don't condone violence, I do realize that making toys that shoot, launch, or fly (like this pom pom shooter, car launcher, or this 1 sheet paper kite) are always crowd pleasers. (Plus, they're a great opportunity to slip in some STEAM learning.) So today I'm sharing this cute Ninja Throwing Star Craft. It was super easy to make and kept us relatively sane on a stuck-at-home-going-to-pull-my-hair-out-cleaning-the-pulled-out-puzzles-for-the-eight-time rainy day.

I am IN LOVE with today's cardboard and felt bird ornaments. This Christmas craft reminds me of something you would find in Anthropologie. The birds are super sweet and folksy.
