A hand print wreath with fall colors that is a great craft to kids to make to remind them to be thankful throughout the month of November. The kids and I always do some sort of “Thankful” or “Thanksgiving” project every year. We started with Thanksgiving trees many years ago and we used hand …
If you’ve been around our website before you know that we only do easy or fairly easy kids crafts. We just don’t believe in sharing “kids crafts” that a kid hasn’t actually done or could actually do. You won’t find those fancy kids crafts here that you can’t replicate no matter how hard you try. …
My sister and I have been doing a homeschooling co-op together. Our kids are the same ages, so it seems ideal to partner up twice a month to do some fun crafts and activities. We decided that to help us plan what to do, we will work through the letters of the alphabet. So for …

Resurrection Rolls are a fun, delicious Easter activity that my kids ask to do year after year. I’m sure you’ve seen or heard of Resurrection Rolls. They’re definitely not something unique I made up.

Shamrock (clover) snacks and a craft for St. Patrick’s Day. I’m not much into the “luck” aspect of St. Patrick’s Day, which makes it hard, as a blogger, to think of something to share for St. Patrick’s Day. Last year I shared a toilet paper roll craft and a short story of who St. Patrick …
