Do Halloween crafts rock your world? Yes!?
Awesome. They totally rock mine

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.

Gorgeous Accordion Fold Fall Paper Leaf Banner
Today we're continuing with the theme of easy fall crafts. Couple of days ago I shared this really beautiful Sewn Leaf Art project that I made with my preschooler. Today I just wanted to share this gorgeous folded paper leaf banner.
I came up with the idea after reading some fall-themed books with my son. Seeing all the beautiful colored leaves in the books made me miss the fall leaves back on the East coast. And then it hit me- why not make our own? Bring a bit of fall to our forever-summer state. And so, my son and I got to making and painting together. The results came out so beautiful that he insisted we hang the banner up in his room to spruce it up.

Easiest cardboard Rainmakers ever!
Recently my son and I have been talking a lot about the weather. We're currently in the middle of a horrible drought in Southern California so we desperately need rain. Since we always have a ton of cardboard rolls lying around (which we LUUURVE using for cardboard roll crafts), we recently made a rainmaker together. Set-up was simple and it was a snap to put it together.
Here's how we did it!

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.

Avengers Paper Plate Masks
One of the neatest things about being a mom is seeing my son bond with my husband. Right now they both share a love for all things Lego and Super Hero. While I enjoy Lego, I'm not a big super hero fan. But I still tried to incorporate it into our crafting time as well. Here are some Avengers Paper Plate Masks that we recently made together!

Colorful Fairytale Cardboard Castles
The
castle and dragon craze continues at our house!
Last week we made some lovely paper plate dragons. Did you check them out? Then, we painted some castles that were built from
scraps of paper and cardboard. This was a perfect play date craft because the castles were easy to assemble and both the kids (and moms) had fun painting them!

7 Tips for Taking Preschoolers to the Art Museum
Ever take your children to the art museum? A couple weeks ago my friend and I brought our 3 preschool boys to our local art museum. Can I admit something to you? I was kinda SUPER nervous about how it would go. Three active boys walking around a building of beautiful, priceless, breakable artwork? What could go wrong? (Ha!)
Pre-mom years, I loved visiting art museums with my husband. But once I had Chuck... I put aside those visits because of my fears. But oh, how I love looking at beautiful things.... and oh, how I love making art and crafts with my son. Now that he's a bit older I figured it was time to give it a try. So I asked for suggestions on FB... and we bravely visited the art museum with our 3 very active and curious kids.
Guess what?
It went pretty well! We had fun and the art stayed unharmed! Huzzah! So here's a post detailing 7 things that we did to make our art museum experience more enjoyable (and educational) for the kiddos.

Hyper Colorful Painted Paper Plate Flowers!
Lately I've been enamored with paper plate crafts. We always have a ton of cheap, white paper plates lying around and they're the perfect canvas. A couple of days ago my son was sick and we stayed home all day. Fortunately, we kept ourselves busy with Lego, lots of book reading, and two paper plate crafts. We had such fun painting, I thought I'd share our crafts here. Here's our first paper plate craft-

Make Tricycle Circle Artwork with Kids!
When I set up today's preschool art activity, my husband thought I was crazy. Really. He thought I finally inhaled too many craft paint fumes, fell off my rocker, and floated away to la-la land.
To be fair to him, it really WAS a giant art activity. But I was still surprised by his reaction because he's already seen me do messy activities (like making jello brains), slimey activities, and fairly large scale art activities (like this GIANT DIY scratch board).... so really, in the grand scheme of things, what's the big deal with making....
