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!

Make Fun and Colorful Number Chart Sticker Math Art
When I was a kid, I loved learning about patterns. There was something super thrilling about being able to predict what came next. Today I'm sharing a colorful STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) Activity that combines my love of patterns, color, and math! We're making some groovy Number Chart Art! This activity is the perfect way for kids to practice number recognition, pattern-making, multiplication, addition, and subtraction... while making some beautiful artwork too!

Make Matisse Murals with Kids
The more I look at Matisse's artwork, the more it really speaks to me. I love his vibrant colors and the way his artwork expresses such movement. Around this time last year, Chuck and I made Matisse Collages from construction paper. We had such fun making them together... that I thought we could take it to the next level... wall murals!
Yup. We made ourselves Matisse mural. The idea was inspired by this gorgeous kate zaremba wallpaper. (Love, love, loooove!) Here's how we did it!

Cardboard Airport Runway
Ever since I saw Paging Fun Mom's pizza box airport, I knew I had to make one for Chuck. I mean, my goodness, what a neat way to use Christmas lights! So here's my version of a Cardboard Airport Runway.
I love this craft because it's made from an old box and some Christmas lights. Plus, we made it together as a family. Chuck and his dad drilled the holes together and I painted the box with him. (And I think it looks just as nice as any of these airplane runway toys. Don't you?)

Easy DIY Bubble Ring Favors
I LOVE snow globes. Last Christmas Chuck and I walked through store aisles shaking a ton up and then watching, mesmerized, as the snow gently drifted down. It was hypnotizing and strangely therapeutic.
My love for snow globes was the initial inspiration behind these DIY bubble rings. I thought it would be so fun to wear tiny snow globes on your fingers. Then you could shake them and see lovely swirling designs any time you wanted!

Shark Valentine Card Box
Sometimes I wish I could be a kid again just to experience the magic of different holidays. Do you ever feel that way? As a child New Years seemed cooler, Christmas seemed more magical, and Valentine's Day was way more romantic. Now that Chuck's getting older, I see him getting excited about holidays too.... and I LOVE it.
Here's a fun Valentine Card Box that I recently designed with Chuck in mind. (He loooooves sharks.) Isn't it hilarious that the shark "eats" the Valentines?
You can find out how I made this Shark Valentine Card Box at MollyMooo Crafts!

The Snowy Day Shadow box
Howdy, friends! Today the Creative Preschool Collaborators and I are sharing 5 fun Winter-themed preschool activities and crafts! So be sure to scroll down to the bottom of the post for other great ideas!

Ezra Jack Keats' book, The Snowy Day, has always been a favorite of mine. His illustrations are simple, charming, colorful, and graphic. He really captures the magic of a winter snowfall. Plus, I love that he supports multiculturalism and made his main character a young black boy. So when I found out that this week's theme was Winter, I was excited to read this book with Chuck and combine it with a craft.

Even though our Christmas tree is still up (I know, I know, I haven't the heart to take it down), my mind is currently on Valentine's Day and all the lovely crafts that go along with that. Last year we made adorable heart shaped glasses and DIY Coffee and Candy Gifts. This year I'm challenging myself to think of 10 easy funny, pun-y crafts that say Happy Valentine's Day!
Here's my 1st attempt!
