Quinn came home from school super excited to share something he had made. He made these fun folded paper caterpillars and a little paper habitat for the caterpillars to live in at school. Not only did he want to share with me how he made these cute little critters, but he really wanted to teach all of my readers how to. Paper strips, scissors, glue and a pen or crayons is all you need. You start with two strips and place them perpendicular to each other and glue the ends ...

My Heart Is Bursting- A Valentine Classroom Activity
Saturday morning I whipped up this fun and completely reusable Valentine classroom activity. This little number doubles as an activity and Quinn's valentines. This project was completely inspired by my blogging friend Poofy Cheeks Wreck it Ralph Birthday Party. My son became obsessed with it when he saw me reading her blog, but specifically really wanted to punch the windows for a prize. For this project you will need: A science display board, a hot glue gun, cups (I used treat ...
Spring Mantle With Nest Specimen Art
Yay! It's spring! Okay, not really. We have a fresh 7-9 inches of snow outside and the ten day forecast doesn't even hit 40 degrees.

Needless to say, regardless of the weather, Easter is right around the corner so it was time to get my Easter/spring shelf ...
Puffy Paint Glow Pumpkin
I can't believe it is possible that I am a craft blogger and this is my first pumpkin blog post. What? Crazy, right? I found this pumpkins at Target's Dollar Spot.

I was fortunate to be sent a package of glow in the dark puffy paint from Tulip as part of the iLoveToCreate campaign. I was tempted to forgo pumpkins and paint spider webs on some glassware, because I loved how my ...
Embroidery Hoop Art
With Eleanor's room update and the little pumpkin turning one on Saturday (AHH! How did that happen so fast?), I thought I would whip up something special for her room. I have been totally crushing on embroidery hoop art. I have seen lots of people put fabric they adore inside, but I wanted something a little more special for Eleanor. (You know? Turning one and all.) I went to Walmart to pick up some Painters Paint Markers by Elmers. You can find out more about how to #ExpressYourself with ...
