Marble Painting Craft: So Easy & Fun, a One Year Old Can Do It (and His Big Brother, Too!)

Another fun activity we did over spring break was marble painting! I've seen the idea all over social media and thought we'd try it for ourselves.

Impromptu Game Made from his Pre-K Prize: We had so much fun!

When I went over to school to pick up Froot Loop today, he was super excited! He had won a prize for being the ONLY kid in the pre-k class to go over to the carpet squares and sit down quietly. I am so proud of him. 

Tutorial: I Can See Clearly Now The Rain Is Gone - Simple "Stained Glass" Window Craft for Kids & Toddlers

I’m sharing a classic activity with y’all today. I needed a quick and easy activity to keep the boys busy for awhile. So, I pulled out the tissue paper squares and the Clear Adhesive Paper and told Froot Loop we were making a stained glass window! 

Tutorial: Paper Plate Color Sorting Rainbow Ribbon Collage Craft For Babies, Toddlers, and Preschoolers.

Froot Loop suddenly loves to do simple crafts with me. FINALLY, all the craft supplies I’ve bought for him are being used, and most of the crafts are so simple that I can do them with Cocoa Puff too. We love our craft time now!

Tutorial: Easy Paper Plate Sunshine Craft For Kids Made with Supplies You Probably Already Have

“You are My Sunshine” is the first song I sang to both of my boys, and it is my go-to song whenever one of them needs some extra comfort. It holds special meaning to me because it was the song my dad sang to me when I was little as well. I love this song and I always will. 

Tutorial: Fall Painting 3 Ways. So Easy, a Baby Could Do It (and he did!!)

It’s always the BEST DAY EVER when I get the paint out around here. Froot Loop has recently REALLY gotten into painting with brushes and instruments, although he still doesn’t like finger painting at all. Sensory issues… I have tried painting with Cocoa Puff a few times and he really seems to enjoy it if he’s in a good mood.

Tutorial: Turkey Can Handprint Craft To Keep Your Kids Busy While Waiting for Thanksgiving Dinner

Thanksgiving! Some people call it Turkey Day, which sort of gets on my nerves a little, but really, the meal (at least the eating part) is all about the turkey, so I can see why it’s called that. 

This is a super cute turkey craft that can easily be used as centerpieces at your table or as cute gift boxes. This craft features your kiddos, but really, it’s going to have to be assembled by you, or your older kids.
