Rain, Flower, and Tree Paper Pull Crafts for Spring!
Last week I shared this really cute St. Patrick's Day rainbow paper pull craft on the blog. Since everyone seemed to enjoy that craft so much, I made these similarly adorable spring-themed paper pull crafts. So you can pull some animals into a tree, raindrops from a cloud, or animals on and off of flowers. Doodle your own images, or like last time, just print and use my doodles.

Make a Mini Science Journal Booklet from one sheet of paper
Have you ever tried making tiny notebooks? My eldest is currently obsessed with pocket-sized books. He loves using them to doodle, jot down ideas, or record stories. Today we're doing a STEAM themed craft and turning a single white sheet of computer paper into a cute science journal. It's the perfect place for young scientists to jot down observations, hypotheses, and ideas for experiments.
Let's get making!

How Does Your Brain Work? An activity inspired by Temple Grandin
I recently received a copy of the picture book The Girl Who Thought In Pictures. It's a kids book about one of my heroes- Dr. Temple Grandin. She's a professor of animal science who also happens to be on the autistic spectrum. She's funny, brave, persistent, and full of insights. And I love how she reminds us to value those who see the world in a different way.
Inspired by her story, my son and I tried to explore how our brains work with this simple art activity.

Christmas Word Doodle Art Challenges! (Free Printable included!)
The countdown to Christmas is on! I love this season and usually share tons of easy Christmas activities and crafts. But this year it's been tough getting into the Christmas spirit. With all the wildfires in California, we've been more somber and going slightly stir-crazy staying inside. (The smoke is pretty bad.) So today I'm sharing an activity that we recently did. This fun, no-prep, and creative Christmas activity helped us to pass the time while stuck indoors.

Word Doodle Art Challenge: Can you transform words into pictures?
If you've been on my facebook page lately, you'll see that I really enjoy sharing videos of people doing creative things. (I love getting inspired!) Recently, I shared this super neat video of an artist transforming words like "unicorn," "cat," and "fish" into pictures. My son and I enjoyed watching that video so much that I made some more "word doodle sheets" for us to try out together!
