What kinds of fun crafts have you been making with kids for Easter? My daughter and I recently made a paper plate handprint chick. Here's how we made it: First place a blob of yellow paint in the palm of the child's hand, then have them rub their hands together. Use a paintbrush to cover any areas that may have been missed. Make handprints on a piece of paper. Repeat these steps using the

Since my kids love all things rainbow, we decided to get a head start on St Patrick's Day crafts. We ending up making a handprint rainbow and leprechaun. Big Brother is learning about leprechauns in kindergarten right now so it ties in perfectly. Today he told me that when I say leprechaun trap I have to whisper the word 'trap' and if he catches one he will get his pot of gold..... too cute!

We love doing mommy and me crafts! Here is a cute Valentine's Day inspired one my daughter and I made together using our handprints. First, I painted my hands red. The easiest way to do this is to place a blob of paint in the palm of your hand. Rub your hands together making sure to get the fingertips until both hands are completely covered with paint. Instead of having the fingers spread

Did you have a good Christmas? Like a lot of people we have been busy (and sick), but I still wanted to share the adorable handprint Christmas cards my son made for his teachers. We made the handprint polar bear by adding a thumbprint under the thumb to create the face. The ears and tail are made with the pinky finger. He wrote "Have a Bear-y Merry Christmas!" on it.

This post brought to you by LEGO. All opinions are 100% mine. I was so excited for my little guy to create his very own LEGO Minifigure Family and holiday card. He is so into games that allow him to create and design characters so I knew he would enjoy this ..... and he did! He is 6 years old and was able to make the card all by himself while Little Sister (toddler-aged) sat

My daughter is obsessed with all things sparkly! She even asked for sparkles on her birthday cake...... tee, hee. Of course she loved making this glitter handprint Christmas ornament. I made one with my son several years ago and couldn't wait to make a matching one with Little Sister. Last year she didn't grasp the ornament very well so I saved it for this year. Now at almost 3 years old,

Isn't this the cutest spider ever?! My son made it in a crafty kids cooking class this past summer. I love how they attached it to a string. I plan to hang it from a giant spider web as a fun Halloween decoration - the kind you can get in a bag and then you pull it apart.
