Make Your Own Spotty Dotty Game!
These days our family is always rush, rush, rushing. Ever feel like that? Whenever we do get a moment to breathe I plan to make something with my eldest.... but then the baby ends up needing me for something too. So lately projects have to be quick and fun. Last weekend we created this simple DIY board game using materials that we already had around the house. It was really neat putting it together and making up our own game!

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!

100 Color Challenge
Ever wonder just how big 100 really is? Lately my son and I have been talking about numbers. While small numbers are easy to imagine... large numbers always seem quite vague. 100? 1,000? 1,000,000? 10,000,000? We just don't have much experience dealing with numbers larger than 20 in the real world. So I came up with this really easy combination math activity and art activity. We challenged ourselves to make 100 colors together!

Rainbow Paper Plate Weaving Project
I've been a bit down in the dumps lately. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because of all of the transitions happening in my life... or lack of sleep... or both. Hopefully I'll feel better once summer starts. In the meantime, I've been doing quite a bit of crafting to cheer myself up. Recently I took my love of rainbow crafts and combined it with my love for paper plate crafts to make... tada! This lovely rainbow paper plate weaving craft!

Playful and Easy Mathematics with Building Toys (And our favorite math books!)
Wanna know a secret? In college I majored in Engineering and minored in math. Eek. Surprised? Well...it's true! I'm a bit rusty now... but I will always have a soft spot for mathematics. There was something about solving a difficult problem that was so thrilling and satisfying.
Now that my son is older, my husband (who is also a math lover) and I have been trying to help him to love math too. With a new baby at home, I just haven't had time lately to plan math crafts and activities. (Mucho props to all you homeschooling mamas out there... don't know how you do it!) But, I've been giving myself a bit of slack and telling myself that it's ok. We've still been learning math together... just in a more open-ended and playful way.

20+ Colorful, Rainbow Inspired Activities and Crafts (and books!)
Feeling colorful lately? Looking for fun and easy rainbow themed crafts and activities? Or maybe you're just starting to peek around for St. Patrick's Day Crafts?
I've currently got rainbows on my mind. But, with a new baby at home, we've kinda been in survival mode (aka, crafting... and sleep happen pretty infrequently...) So, while we adjust to this new norm, I thought I'd comb through the blog's archives to create a roundup of 20+ colorful activities and crafts.
Hope you have fun and get inspired by the posts below!

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!
