I saw this gorgeous reel by Clymdraws that showed a lovely folded paper greeting and was so inspired to try making one myself. This is a lovely origami craft because the folding pattern is so simple and you can use this design to make cards for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day.... or any holiday, really. Directions are below. Enjoy!
Have you heard of vision boards? They're collages that you make using words and pictures to help you envision what you'd like to happen in your life. Often time we'll talk to our kids about new year's resolutions, but honestly, we all forget what our resolutions are by February.
Two mom friends told me about making vision boards this year and I thought it would be a fun activity for our family to try out. The nicest part about this is that it involves cutting and gluing (which everyone seems to enjoy), and you get to chat with the kids about the fun pictures and words that you cut out. An added bonus? You end up with a lovely visual reminder to hang up. Ours are currently sitting in our crafting room. We'll see if they help us out this year!

Do you enjoy a good pun? Both my kids LOVE silly jokes and puns. With Valentine's Day around the corner, I made these FREE, fun, pun-filled Valentine's Day Notes for you to print out. They show off different cute animals (a bat, an axolotl, a bear, and a dinosaur), funny puns, and lines for kids to write notes to their favorite people. Enjoy!
If you're looking for more Lunar New Year printables for the kids, I'm sharing these cute Count and Find sheets. They're a great math activity for preschoolers and kindergarteners. And if you want to make the activity more challenging, you can have children write the numbers in another language!
Happy early Lunar New Year! We're looking forward to celebrating in the coming weeks. Right now I'm in the mood for all things red, gold, dragon, and bunny-related, I whipped up these free printable draw-the-other half sheets to share with you! As I mentioned before, I LOVED doing these sorts of symmetric drawing sheets as a child, so I figured some of your kids might as well! :) Enjoy!!
