Groovy Sticker Snowflakes Art (Printable included)
With the start of the new school year, our family is still trying to find its new normal. Transitions from school to home can sometimes be rough. So we've been trying to keep things easy with more downtime in the afternoon. We play at the park, read books, or do simple open-ended crafts. Today I wanted to share a really easy open-ended snowflake craft that my son and I really enjoyed. We pulled out some old stickers and made ourselves some groovy sticker snowflakes!

Tissue Paper Luminary Drawings (and book list!)
How did you celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day? This is the first year that I’ve talked to my preschooler about this holiday. We read a bunch of picture books celebrating diversity and service (links
below) and talked about what it means to dream and treat all people kindly, no matter what they look like. Being a craft lover, we also sat down and made these Tissue Paper Luuminary Drawings. I love
the discussion that we had while making them and I love how they beautiful they turned out
too!

Mini Painted Sponge Christmas Trees
Can you believe that it's already mid November? Time sure flies by quickly! Even though it's not yet Thanksgiving, my son's already asked me to put up the Christmas tree and make Christmas Crafts.
Well, we still haven't put up the tree, but we have been crafting more together at night. Recently, we turned a bunch of old makeup sponges into mini Christmas trees. I know, they're not as beautiful as the real thing... but for now, they'll do!
