Grow Borax Crystals... on Nature!
Do people still celebrate Christmas in July? We don't, but today's crystal craft adds a bit of a frosty, winter element to our crafts. (Come to think of it, this would also make a great craft for kids who love Anna, Elsa, or Olaf from the Frozen movie.) We're using Borax to grow crystals on natural items like seed pods, sticks, shells, and leaves. The process is super simple and the results are super sparkly. You'll only need a couple of items and a bit of patience to do this easy and fun STEM activity.

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.)

Charming Cardboard and Felt Bird Ornaments (Template Included)
I am IN LOVE with today's cardboard and felt bird ornaments. This Christmas craft reminds me of something you would find in Anthropologie. The birds are super sweet and folksy. And they're made of recycled cardboard and scraps of yarn and felt. So they're super easy on the wallet and good for the environment too! Getting excited? Let's get crafting!

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.

Twirly Whirly Paper Snowflake Mobile (And our favorite snow books)
Is it a good time to make snowflake crafts with the kids? The answer to that question is always, "YES!" Snowflake crafts in summer, snowflake crafts in spring, snowflake crafts all time of the year is my personal crafting mantra.
Well, now that we've removed all the Halloween decorations (sob, sob) my son and I are starting to decorate our home for Thanksgiving and Christmas. While I've yet to find a good kids' Turkey craft that I like, I can always count on snowflakes to tide us creatively over while I keep looking.
Today's twirly whirly paper snowflake mobile is just such an easy and fun craft. We made ours ona whim one night together before bed. Don't you just adore it? You get to make snowflakes AND watch them "fall" from a cute cloud.
(Hmm, I bet you could easily incorporate some STEAM lessons with this art activity as well!)

Printable Rainbow Danish Hearts
Next week is Valentine's day and today I've got another fun Valentine's Day Craft to share with you! I love seeing red and white Danish heart ornaments during Christmas. But why should we only make them in December? Why not make some Danish hearts for Valentine's Day too?
Yup. We're going all rebel crafter today.
Oh. And since we're breaking the crafting rules, let's ditch the traditional red and white colors for hyper-colorful rainbow colors instead.
That's right. Living on the wild side.

Lego Snow Jars for Kids (and 6 more Lego inspired projects!)
I'm all about cheap and cheerful crafts... and my son is all about Lego. (I realized we were officially a Lego household when I woke up with a minifigure in my bed the other day. Oy vey!) Inspired by the adorable miniature holiday displays and snowglobes in the stores, my son and I tried crafting our very own. But instead of using animals or cute townspeople, we put a Lego twist on these winter snowglobes. Tada! Here's a SUPER EASY winter snow scene craft.
