I love making holiday craft cards with kids, but sometimes the paint, the glitter, fancy stickers… is just too much or not available. It’s okay! Your kids can still have fun making holiday cards for friends and family with just construction paper.

Make this easy craft Christmas tree card today and let me know how it goes.

Cardboard Gingerbread People…. Yes please!

I remember doing this activity with my girls like it was yesterday. They absolutely LOVED decorating their large gingerbread people and playing with them all month long.

For this idea save some cardboard from your next delivery order and cut out a large gingerbread shape from it - thinner cardboard works better. For added fun poke holes on the outside edge of each gingerbread shape so that your kids can lace ribbon or yarn through them. Have your kids decorate their gingerbread person. I did have to hot glue down a few things for my girls. Enjoy!

I hope you’ll give this fun holiday craft a try!

Let it snow! This week I’m sharing weather themed fun and this crayon resist snowflake idea is perfect for those hoping for a little snow.

SUPPLIES:
-White Cardstock Paper
-White Crayons
-Watercolor Paints (this time we used liquid watercolors by Color Splash and the colors were AMAZING)

HOW TO
•Use your white crayon and draw snowflakes all over your paper.
•Paint over your paper with watercolors in shades of blue and purple.
•Magic!

I wasn’t going to share this activity because it is nothing new BUT it is one of those activities that you keep in your back pocket. Why? It’s simple to set up, works for any theme, and always is magic. Seriously, my girls have done this activity so many times, but always enjoy it!

Have you done a white crayon and watercolor craft lately? What did you create?

Need an easy prep activity so you can sip your coffee…

Magnetic Tile Turkey is it!

Sketch a turkey body on a large sheet of art roll paper. Set out that tub of magnetic tiles and watch the magic. 🩷

My girls loved this activity when they were young and it was so fun to watch them make a variety of pattern turkey feathers. They would make a design, share it, clear it, and create again.

Simple activities are the best! Give this one a try.

Roll out the art roll paper and set up this activity for your kids today! Beginning sounds gratitude is a fun way to get your kids drawing, practicing beginning sounds, and sharing all about a variety of things they are thankful for.

Draw a few frames on a sheet of paper or even better, make it large and roll out that art roll paper. Set out some magnetic letters and have your kids pick a letter then think of something that starts with that sound to be grateful for. When they share something ask them “why” might someone be grateful for that.

This is a fun way to slow down, sip your coffee, and chat with your kids. Let me know how it goes.

Practice letter recognition and matching with this low prep preschool turkey idea!

Your kids will love making this for sticker turkey. Sketch a turkey (or print one) on a sheet of paper. Label the turkey with feathers - I did lowercase. Grab your favorite dog stickers and write the same letters on them - I did uppercase so littles can practice matching. Now you are all prepped!

When you need an activity this week pull out this one and invite your child to match the dot stickers to the letters on the turkey.

Have fun and be sure to like, save, and share! 🙌🏻😘
