Make a Knight Sword and Shield
Do knights, dragons, and castles stir up your child’s
imagination? I love how my preschooler is a big fan of all these things. It's so neat to see little kids wrapped up in imaginary play. To further
grow his interest, I made this super easy cardboard shield and sword set awhile back. After 6 months of intense imagining, rescuing, and fighting, they're still intact. So, I figured I'd share this cute tried-and-true craft with y'all today!

20+ Colorful, Rainbow Inspired Activities and Crafts (and books!)
Feeling colorful lately? Looking for fun and easy rainbow themed crafts and activities? Or maybe you're just starting to peek around for St. Patrick's Day Crafts?
I've currently got rainbows on my mind. But, with a new baby at home, we've kinda been in survival mode (aka, crafting... and sleep happen pretty infrequently...) So, while we adjust to this new norm, I thought I'd comb through the blog's archives to create a roundup of 20+ colorful activities and crafts.
Hope you have fun and get inspired by the posts below!

When I grow up... Fortune Teller Fun with Preschoolers! (And a book list)
Did you ever fold fortune tellers as a kid? With no set nap times and a new baby, I've been trying to find easy ways to have fun with my older son. Recently I introduced him to fortune tellers and he totally dug them! We made them to predict what he would be when he grew up. He doodled the different jobs that he'd like to do and then we colored and folded the fortune tellers together!

Paper Blossoms for Chinese New Year
The quest for easy Chinese New Year Crafts continues! I've been reading up a bit on the holiday to help me explain it to my older son. Recently I learned that we often see plum blossom flowers decorating homes around this time of year. Apparently they represent perseverance, courage, and reliability. (Beautiful, right?) Well, we don't have any plum blossom flowers around here.... but we do have pink tissue paper and twigs. So we grabbed our crafting materials and then set to making ourselves some really easy and beautiful flower decorations for the New Year!

Chinese New Year Paper Bag Lion Masks (And a book list!)
One of the nicest things about having kids is seeing things through their eyes. I remember loving Chinese New Year as a child. The lion dance, the dragons, the red envelopes, the yummy food, the time spent with family... those are all the traditions and memories that I'd like to pass onto my sons as well. Recently we've been knee deep in Chinese New Year Crafts and today's is my son's favorite so far. We turned paper bags into our very own lion masks to wear and dance around in!

Tissue Paper Luminary Drawings (and book list!)
How did you celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day? This is the first year that I’ve talked to my preschooler about this holiday. We read a bunch of picture books celebrating diversity and service (links
below) and talked about what it means to dream and treat all people kindly, no matter what they look like. Being a craft lover, we also sat down and made these Tissue Paper Luuminary Drawings. I love
the discussion that we had while making them and I love how they beautiful they turned out
too!

Easy and colorful kid art!
Well, my preschooler and I've started making Valentine's Day Crafts and made a Valentine’s day

FREE Color By Number Pirate Printables (And book list!)
We recently visited a friend's house and my son was enamored with these color-by-number sheets that his friends were working on. I'm not sure why, but he got a real kick out of finding numbers and coloring the design accordingly. After we went home, we ended up designing two pirate color-by-number sheet together. He really enjoyed coloring them in, so I'm sharing them in case you have a pirate and number loving child too!
