Anthropologie Inspired Painted Placemat Art
Today's post takes a detour from kids crafts. We're venturinging into the land of home decor. Have you seen Anthropologie's selection of basket wall art? I fell in love with their modern, geometric, and graphic designs. But, the prices are a bit steep for me. So I put on my DIY cap and tried creating my own inspired wall art using thrifted items. Here's how the project out Pretty cool, right?

How To Cut Pokemon Snowflakes
Hello, friends! Do you love Pokemon crafts? Do you enjoy cutting paper snowflakes? (Wow. You too? I'm so glad to meet you!)
Every winter our family enjoys cutting paper snowflakes together. And every year I try to come up with new cute character themed snowflakes (like these Lego Men Snowflakes and these Snowman Snowflakes.) This year I designed these fun Pokemon Snowflakes since the rest of my family has gone Pokemon crazy. Tada!

Handprint Christmas Peace Dove Art
It's time to start making Christmas crafts! Yesterday we put up the tree and it was so, so sweet to see my preschooler oohing and ahhing over the lights. Today I tried to keep the Christmas-y momentum going with this super easy paper plate dove craft. Inspired by Imagination Tree's sweet dove handprint keepsake, we made our own version using paper plates instead of salt dough. (Anna's craft is really, really lovely, so definitely check out the post for another fun idea.)

Easy Groovy Pumpkin Cheesecake Marbled Brownies
I've realized that I am a lazy baker. That's the reason that I like kids crafts. They're easy and there's little pressure to make things perfect. The act of making is the fun! But baking? Ugh. Completely other story. Exact measurements. Specific ingredients. And gluten-free baking? (My eldest is allergic to wheat.) Double ugh. Forget about it. It feels like I never have the right ingredients or flours...
So it's the holiday season and recently we were invited to Friendsgiving dinner. I volunteered to bring a dessert... which seemed like a good idea because I wouldn't have to be in charge of the heavy cooking... But then I realized... eek! I only have 3 desserts in my current potluck repertoire- Rice Krispie treats, some variant of mochi cake, and boxed brownies. Well, the brownies seemed to be the only viable option for this meal. But I had just made my brownies a week ago so I figured I should at least jazz up my efforts somehow... and that's when I decided to try making something new:

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 to Doodle Frisbees
Hi everyone! Quick fun art idea here- I wasn't sure what to call this post originally. Doodle Frisbees? Art frisbees? Mandala frisbees? "Sharpies-are-so-cool-they-draw-on-everything" frisbees? Oh well. Names were never my strong suit. But I had to pop in and share this craft because I think it'd be a fun one to do for a party on during a playdate.

Squishy, Slimey, Squelchy Halloween Monster Slime (Only 3 Ingredients!)
So what are your thoughts on slime? Love it? Hate it? We've made slime a handful of times before with mixed results. (Sometimes we get slime... and sometimes we just get weird wet stuff.)
Personally, I love the idea of slime... but I have mixed feelings about the mess that it entails. Recently, I was sent a copy of The Slime Book to review and I jumped on the opportunity. 40 easy slime recipes all in one book? Count me in.
Authors Stacey and Jennifer share a ton of fun ideas, but with Halloween approaching, the orange Metamucil slime recipe caught my eye. I added some googly eyes to their simple 2 ingredient recipe and boom. Then, boom. Instant slimey Halloween monster goodness.

Can you explode a Watermelon?
How many rubber bands does it take to explode a watermelon? That's a question that I issue to you, dear reader. And it's one that we recently tried tackling in today's fun science activity! Now, I'm not a mom who enjoys making a mess... but when I saw people exploding watermelons with rubber bands, I just couldn't help myself. We had to try the challenge too! So, we celebrated the end of summer with this explosive science activity. It was super duper fun and so, so easy to set up.

Easy Stuffed Owl Craft for Kids
I'm not sure why, but when I think of fall crafts for kids, I think of owls. My littlest guy has just entered that sweet age where he seems to enjoy drawing, cutting, and gluing. It's fun for me because now we can start our own crafting journey together. Our first craft of the school year was this adorable stuffed owl. My little guy really loved making it and proudly proclaimed "I love it. It is so cute" when he finished.

Faux Henna Tattoos for Kids
Have you ever heard about Henna tattoos? These are beautiful temporary tattoos that people around the world apply during certain celebrations or rites of passage.

That was the first (and sadly the last time) I ever got Henna done. Today's post is an attempt to recreate the beautiful details of the Henna tattoo... in a very kid-friendly way!

How to Make Best Friend Clay Necklaces
Did you own a best friend necklace as a kid? One of my friends recently bought a pair for her daughter and best friend. (They were groovy mood ones. Girls' jewelry has definitely gotten cuter since I was a kid.) I was so inspired by the cute necklaces that my son and I made our own clay friendship necklaces. Aren't they fun?
(And even though these were made for friends, this would be a great gift to make for Mother's Day or Valentine's Day too!)

Here's a super quick and easy origami craft that's perfect for spring or summer! Lately, we've been bitten by the gardening bug. My youngest and I keep sticking things into the dirt to see if they'll grow. My oldest is not as keen on gardening as we are, but he loves folding origami. So today I'm sharing how to fold these really easy and fun origami snails.

Gorgeous "Painted" Oil Pastel Crystal Sun catchers
Have you ever tried "painting" with oil pastels? Every so often I feel all artsy-smartsy and pull out my big 'ol box of oil pastels and do an easy oil pastel craft with my kids. This past week I felt the urge and we made these crystal suncatchers by "painting" with oil pastels. The results were pretty gorgeous and the process was fun too!

Painting with Dandelions
One of our favorite Spring crafts is painting with dandelions. Dandelions are such a funny flower because every kid loves them, but every home-owning adult seems to despise them. We don't really have a front yard, so I personally adore them. My youngest and I recently spent one morning picking the yellow flowers and blowing the seeds around (sorry, neighbors!) Awhile back, I shared how we turn dandelions into dandelion chains and crowns. Today, I'm sharing another fun craft to do with the yellow flowers- paint with them!
