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?

Clay Portrait Pendant Necklaces
My son started elementary school this week. *Sob* It's been such a happy, bittersweet couple of days. Recently we've been creating a lot of little trinkets with clay. (Have you seen our clay outer space necklace and clay dream catcher?) So I asked him to make some clay portrait pendant necklaces with me before school started. This way I can wear them and remember him while he's away.

How to fold an Easy Origami School Bus (And a book list)
School is right around the corner. Eeek. Are you ready? We're excited and nervous around here to finally be going to "big kid school." Ever since we folded Origami Yoda and Origami Pikachu together, my son's really been into origami crafts. To go along with the back-to-school theme, we recently folded these origami school buses together.

Cheap, Easy, and Creative Super Hero Party Ideas
A couple of weeks ago my son graduated from preschool. I didn't think I would get emotional... but I did. I felt kinda sad-happy realizing that he wasn't a baby anymore. Oh boy, I'm starting to feel a bit emotional right now. Yeesh... must.. toughen.. up.... Ahem. Anyway, back to introducing today's post...
Our preschool celebrated with a super hero themed graduation party. All the moms and dads came together to plan a really fun day for the kids. I was so impressed by everyone's creativity. I just had to share the super hero-themed activities and crafts here because I know a ton of you probably have super hero loving kids at home too.
So put on your super hero capes and get ready for some...

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!
