Ever try
out a project, expecting one thing and then getting something
completely different? That’s what
happened with a recent art adventure. I loved this stained glass art with toilet paper rolls and never had a chance to try it out. It seemed so easy. Stamp, wait, then paint! Boom.
Easy and colorful kid art!
Well, my preschooler and I've started making Valentine's Day Crafts and made a Valentine’s day
version….with unexpected results!

Mini Painted Sponge Christmas Trees
Can you believe that it's already mid November? Time sure flies by quickly! Even though it's not yet Thanksgiving, my son's already asked me to put up the Christmas tree and make Christmas Crafts.
Well, we still haven't put up the tree, but we have been crafting more together at night. Recently, we turned a bunch of old makeup sponges into mini Christmas trees. I know, they're not as beautiful as the real thing... but for now, they'll do!

Easy and Spooky Shrunken Apple Heads!
Do Halloween crafts rock your world? Yes!?
Awesome. They totally rock mine
too. Halloween is my favorite holiday of
the year. Costumes, magic, candy, gross
things, spooky things—I love it all!
Tomorrow is
the first day of October and I’m trying to squeeze in as many Halloween crafts
as I can before the month is over. Today
I’m sharing a really neat Halloween activity that also doubles as a STEAM (science, technology,
engineering, art, and math) activity too.
We’re making shrunken apple
heads!

Make Monster Sculptures with kids!
Looking for a fun Halloween activity for preschoolers?
Why not set up a monster-making factory in
your dining room? Yup. This fun art and craft activity is a great
way for kids to be creative and gear up for the upcoming
holidays. (Hooray Halloween! Woo-hoo!)

Living in Southern California, I have a tough time appreciating seasons. I mean, we’re still in the 70s-80s here. The leaves are green…. I'm still wearing shorts and sandals. It just doesn’t quite feel like fall. So this monster-making activity really helped us get into the fall spirit.
