π Craft and Play Ideas

β β Hey Reader, It's no secret that I live and breath kids crafts...but the absolute best kind are the ones that turn into hours of imaginative play too. That's my jam!!! So today will be all about my favorite creative make and play ideas... TODAY'S FREEBIEβ I love it when I can let you in on a craft that's in the works but hasn't been released to the public yet...a little bonus for being a part of this community. Today's freebie is something that I've been thinking about for awhile and finally got around to making. It's so cute, super simple and so fun to play with... βDOWNLOAD THE BABY SEA TURTLE CRAFT PRINTABLE HERE β I added a little strip of paper onto the back of the egg, glued just on each end, that you can slide the turtle into. That way he can come out of his egg and into the world. βYou can check out the video tutorial HERE (which I posted just a few moments ago.) IN THE SHOPβ Animal crafts are always great for an imaginative play experience.
I love all of my craft collections almost as if they were my children...though without the college tuition payments. And this one may just be my favorite. It's packed full of the cutest animal crafts. Since they are the full animal and not just the head (like a lot of paper plate crafts), they're perfect for a play experience. Make several and let them interact, creating stories from your own imagination. I'm thinking of making a book that includes make and play activities for each season. What do you think? β TRENDING CRAFTSβ Now for my favorite craft and play projects...
And then there are all of the fun paper bag puppets, which you can find HERE. Take some time away from screens and dig into the craft bag. You have all that you need to make any of these fun and simple crafts without running to the store if you've filled your bag using our master list of supplies. Don't you just love it when a plan comes together? You'll be a hero to your kids, ready with a fun activity at a moment's notice, and it really takes so little effort. β β β β P.S. Don't miss your chance to craft with your kids more. Our 100 Craft Flashcards Collection is a great way to get started and make it a habit. Trust me...you'll be so glad that you did. β β β β β β |

Hey Reader, My husband has been the grumpiest I've seen him all year...and it's because the weather is turning colder here. He's a Summer guy, and it really does affect his mood.

Now let's talk about crafts to make in September... TODAY'S FREEBIE My facebook feed is filled with first day of school photos. They make me so...
