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!

Pop-Up Paper Plate Rainbows
It's been raining a lot! And while we need the rain, I do miss sunny days and blue skies. Last week was filled with grey skies, so we cheered ourselves up with these pop-up paper plate rainbows. Rainbow crafts are some of our favorites and this easy one was a lifesaver!

Handprint Christmas Peace Dove Art
It's time to start making Christmas crafts! Yesterday we put up the tree and it was so, so sweet to see my preschooler oohing and ahhing over the lights. Today I tried to keep the Christmas-y momentum going with this super easy paper plate dove craft. Inspired by Imagination Tree's sweet dove handprint keepsake, we made our own version using paper plates instead of salt dough. (Anna's craft is really, really lovely, so definitely check out the post for another fun idea.)

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!

Avengers Paper Plate Masks
One of the neatest things about being a mom is seeing my son bond with my husband. Right now they both share a love for all things Lego and Super Hero. While I enjoy Lego, I'm not a big super hero fan. But I still tried to incorporate it into our crafting time as well. Here are some Avengers Paper Plate Masks that we recently made together!
