Paper Christmas Trees (template included)
Ok. I know, I know. I have a small obsession with mini Christmas trees. I've made Christmas tree advent calendars, trees from pipe cleaners and cardboard, and mini paint chip Christmas trees. So today's post probably won't come as a surprise to you. But I just had to share these trees because they're so cute! And...there's a twist!
We'll be staying in Cali for Christmas this year, so we won't see our family and friends on the East coast. I wanted to share some Christmas cheer with them, so I made a bunch of Paper Christmas Tree Packs to go into their Christmas cards! Each pack contains all the materials needed to make a lovely paper Christmas tree!

Free Christmas Coloring Sheets
I've been seeing lots of beautiful Christmas coloring sheets online lately. I love doodling and wanted to make one for the blog....but things got pretty busy during the holidays. (Our Aussie family is visiting us AND I'm making paper Moravian stars for a friend's wedding!) So I didn't have a chance to doodle some coloring sheets till now.
These 2 coloring sheets contain ornaments (or gift labels) that the kids can color and then hang onto the tree.

Twisty Snake Sculpture! (Template Included)
Do snakes and reptiles set your heart aflutter? A couple of months ago we found a small garden snake sunning in our backyard. Chuck and I watched it slithering away, mesmerized by how it moved. In honor of our reptilian visitor, I'll be sharing 2 easy and fun snake crafts today and tomorrow on the blog.

3 Easy Bear Hunt Activities (with printables)
I love making beautiful things with kids. But I'll be honest with ya. Often times making beautiful things takes time to plan and prep... and I just don't have the energy. Often times I'll find myself at 11pm at night thinking, "Now shoot. What craft are we going to do tomorrow?" That's when I resort to fast and easy no-prep activities for the kiddos. And that's how these 3 "Going on a Bear Hunt" themed activities came about. Chuck and I love reading the book, so I came up with 3 really easy crafts to go along with the bear hunt theme.
If you find yourself semi-scrambling for an easy craft idea too, then perhaps this activity is for you! (And here's an added bonus, if you don't want to do your own drawings, you can always just printout my doodles. I've included pdfs of those too down below. )
Ready to go on a bear hunt with us? Ok. Let's start crafting!

Cardboard Space Shuttle Craft (template included)
A couple of weeks ago we visited our nearby Science Center and Chuck fell in love with a small space shuttle toy. Of course, the wheels in my head began whirring and I knew that we could easily transform a paper towel roll into our very own rocket ship. So after a couple days of planning, cutting, and painting, we are now the proud owners of two cardboard roll space shuttles:

Homemade Gluten free Puffy Paint Recipe and free Lincoln Coloring Page
Recently I found this great recipe for homemade puffy paint from Happy Hooligans. It was a simple recipe and called for only four ingredients, one of them being self-rising flour. Since Chuck's allergic to wheat, we only have gluten free baking mix at home. I was curious whether we could obtain the same results. Well, after messing around in the kitchen we painted Mr. Lincoln's beard and hair with our very own homemade brown puffy paint.

Cherry Blossom Tissue Paper Flower Craft (Tree printable included!)
I know, it's a little early for cherry blossoms crafts. But this mama is seriously over winter. Buh-bye! With yet another snow storm scheduled to come tomorrow, this tissue paper cherry blossom tree craft is my attempt to kick winter in the face. Hiyah!
Like the tree? You can use it for your kids' crafts too! I turned my painting into a pdf so you can just download it and print it out....
Ahh, cherry blossoms... so beautiful... so springy...

Two Heart themed Valentine's Crafts- Heart Glasses and Painted Heart Rocks
Note: This post is sponsored by Plaid, but the opinions are 100% mine.
Did you know that the heart is my favorite shape? (Is it weird that I have a favorite shape?) I know that triangles and hexagons are super trendy right now, but I'm an old-fashioned romantic. Hearts will always have a special place in my... well heart. (Tee hee hee.) So when Plaid sent me a box of Apple Barrel Craft Paint to create a Valentine's Day School Craft, I knew that it had to be heart related.
So I came up with these Cereal box Heart Glasses and Heart Painted Rocks. Both crafts are super colorful and fun to make.
Keep reading to see directions and template!

Two Chinese New Year Dragon Crafts
Ready for a fun Chinese New Year Craft? Chinese New Year is one of those really fun holidays that I enjoyed celebrating as a kid. Yummy food, wearing new clothes, red envelopes filled with money, and watching cool dragon and lion dancing? Come on, what's not to love? Since the holiday is just around the corner, I showed Chuck some lion dancing videos (Youtube to the rescue!) and then thought it'd be fun if we did some dragon crafts together:
Two Chinese New Year Dragon Crafts
Little background about me- Growing up I always felt like a "twinkie." Yellow on the outside, white on the inside. You see, I looked Asian, but I didn't always feel that way. Now that Chuck's getting a bit older, hubby and I are trying to figure out how two twinkies like us pass down their cultural traditions. (Ehh... it's a work in progress....)
This craft is one way that we're trying to pass down our tradition. And, in the interest of full disclosure, Chuck really enjoyed making the handprint dragon.... but he wasn't too keen on coloring my paper bag dragon pieces. However, once I colored and glued everything down for him, he enjoyed playing with it like a puppet.
So, do you wanna see how we made these two dragons? (I've got templates too! Ooh la la!) Keep on reading!
(And if you like this craft, definitely check out this dancing Chinese Dragon Puppet. It actually dances and is made from recycled materials!)
