Last year one of my most popular posts around this time of year were printable New Year's Crowns. They were super cute, but had "2016" printed on them. So I made some new ones that you can print out, fill in whatever year you want, and color. Cool, right?

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.

Colorful and Glittery Skull Craft
In the midst of what is going on in our country, I almost feel hesitant to keep posting this week. How can I write posts about crafts, Sharpie markers, and glitter when there is so much misunderstanding, hurt, and turmoil going on?
But you know what? This blog is my happy place. And being creative and making things with my son makes me happy. So I'm going to keep making and posting... even while we try to wrap my mind around everything that's going on.
That being said- this Halloween/ Dia De Los Muertos Craft is from awhile back. We're keeping the skulls up until Thanksgiving... so I figure I could still post about them here too.

Play Doh Dia De Los Muertos Sugar Skull Kids Craft
I love this time of year because we celebrate Hallowen and Dia De Los Muertos at the same time. While I'm not Mexican, I do appreciate Dia De Los Muertos. It's a good reminder to celebrate and remember those that are no longer with us.
Every year my son and I have done an easy craft to celebrate the holiday. (You can find the whole list below.) This year we tried an easy open-ended play doh sugar skull activity. Gotta say, the results were pretty fabulous!
