Valentine's Day is next week! My youngest and I have been making Pikachu-themed Valentines for his class. I also whipped up these super cute printable Valentine's Agamograph coloring sheets for kids who love Valentine's puns. Print these out, color them, accordion fold them, and then you get a fun piece of changing art. :) You can grab these free printables down below.
I saw this gorgeous reel by Clymdraws that showed a lovely folded paper greeting and was so inspired to try making one myself. This is a lovely origami craft because the folding pattern is so simple and you can use this design to make cards for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day.... or any holiday, really. Directions are below. Enjoy!
Happy early Lunar New Year! We're looking forward to celebrating in the coming weeks. Right now I'm in the mood for all things red, gold, dragon, and bunny-related, I whipped up these free printable draw-the-other half sheets to share with you! As I mentioned before, I LOVED doing these sorts of symmetric drawing sheets as a child, so I figured some of your kids might as well! :) Enjoy!!
Did you enjoy doing "Draw the other Half" Sheets as a kid? For some reason, I really loved drawing symmetric images when I was in elementary school. There was something very satisfying about carefully creating matching mirror images. So today, I'm sharing these FREE printables with you. :) Hopefully, your kids will enjoy observing the picture, counting the different parts, making measurements with their eyes, and drawing. Have fun!
Christmas is right around the corner. It's been raining CONSTANTLY here and we've been keeping busy with games, movies, and a lot of crafts. Today, I'm sharing a really fun Christmas craft. This climbing paper Santa toy is the perfect DIY STEM building craft to keep hands and minds busy. Preschool, elementary, and even middle school-aged children will enjoy designing their own Santa and then watching him climb up the chimney. Best part about this activity - I'll bet you have all the materials available for an crafty afternoon of fun.
Easter is right around the corner and that means.... bunny crafts! Color, cut, and make this cute and easy hopping bunny with your kids and you're sure to have some "hoppy" times. (Get it? Get it?) Simply blow through a straw to get your bunny in the air! Free printable included down below.
The coloring sheet craze continues! Do your kids write to Santa? If so, you can grab this cute Santa Clause letter template. :) I'm still doodling away and love sharing my pictures with you.
Lately, I've been enjoying doodling and figured I'd share this sweet Christmas bird coloring sheet that I drew the other night. :) You can download it for free below and I hope that it brings you some happiness this time of year!
This week the preschoolers and I made these adorable paper plate pumpkins for Thanksgiving. This was such a fun and easy craft to put together- very little prep and a whole lot of great discussion about the things that we're grateful for this year. If you're looking for an easy and sweet Thanksgiving craft to do with young kids, this is it!
Do you love dragons and dragon crafts? One of my most popular posts is this paper plate dragon craft and today I'm sharing a similar dragon model for those who don't have paper plates handy. These paper dragons are super easy to make and fun to decorate. Enjoy!
Does your child love fairies and drawing? I created these fun and free writing and drawing prompts for all fairy lovers. Hopefully, they'll encourage creativity and writing this summer!
Did you know that Jean from The Artful Parent has a new drawing prompt book coming out this June? She sent me a copy of Invitation to Draw to try out with the kids and my youngest and I went to town doodling away. Scroll down below for some samples of our artwork as well as some free sneak-peak printable samples of the book!

We love a good cardboard craft! (In fact, I even wrote a series of cardboard craft books a few years back!) So of course, we had to make a Halloween-themed cardboard craft. :) Have you ever seen those spooky portraits? You know, the ones where the eyes seem to follow you wherever you go? Well, here's an easy way to make some creepy moving eye portraits with the kids. You just need a cereal box and a few other materials to make this cute and easy Halloween craft!
