Chinese New Year Pig Watercolor Paintings
Did you know that this Chinese New Year is the year of the pig? A couple of nights ago my boys and I began making our annual Chinese New Year Crafts together. One of my good friends is an art teacher and she painted some lovely pigs with her students. I loved her idea so much that I wanted to try the activity out with my two boys too. (Thanks, Alicia for the awesome idea!!!!)
Tada! We all had fun trying our hand at painting some watercolor pigs for Chinese New Year!

How to Make a Clay Mermaid Tail Necklace
Who loves a good mermaid craft? (We do, we do!)
Recently the makers of Sculpey Clay sent us some colorful goodies to try out. The kids and I had a ton of fun one rainy afternoon crafting with friends. I'm currently infatuated with all things magical, so I helped my youngest make his very own mermaid necklace.
(Does anyone else think of Zoolander here? Mermaid? Oh wait. Merman. Merman!)

Fa La La Llama Paper Snowflakes
Are you ready to make the cutest llama winter craft ever?
Ahhhh! I introduce to you this llama snowflake design! Ok, ok. I've gone kinda bonkers with paper snowflake crafts. But I can't help it... I just looooove them so much. And we don't get snow here in southern California.... so I have to make do with these paper flakes.
Today's paper snowflake design is sooo cute and quite possibly my favorite-ist design of all time. (Don't tell my other designs.) (And can we talk about my word choice here? Favorite-ist? Well, it's not a real word, but it gets at the heart of things. I just really love cute paper crafts.)

Anthropologie Inspired Painted Placemat Art
Today's post takes a detour from kids crafts. We're venturinging into the land of home decor. Have you seen Anthropologie's selection of basket wall art? I fell in love with their modern, geometric, and graphic designs. But, the prices are a bit steep for me. So I put on my DIY cap and tried creating my own inspired wall art using thrifted items. Here's how the project out Pretty cool, right?

Handprint Christmas Peace Dove Art
It's time to start making Christmas crafts! Yesterday we put up the tree and it was so, so sweet to see my preschooler oohing and ahhing over the lights. Today I tried to keep the Christmas-y momentum going with this super easy paper plate dove craft. Inspired by Imagination Tree's sweet dove handprint keepsake, we made our own version using paper plates instead of salt dough. (Anna's craft is really, really lovely, so definitely check out the post for another fun idea.)

Make a Mini Science Journal Booklet from one sheet of paper
Have you ever tried making tiny notebooks? My eldest is currently obsessed with pocket-sized books. He loves using them to doodle, jot down ideas, or record stories. Today we're doing a STEAM themed craft and turning a single white sheet of computer paper into a cute science journal. It's the perfect place for young scientists to jot down observations, hypotheses, and ideas for experiments.
Let's get making!
