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.

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!
