π June Crafts to Make π
|
β Hi Reader, June is filled with all kinds of fun holidays that lend very well to family craft time! Some of them you may have heard of (like Flag Day and Father's Day) and some you probably never knew existed...like Drive in Movie Day and Hug Your Cat Day. Just a minute...I'll be right back. Thought I'd get a few cuddles in with my cat, Zelda, now. π β TODAY'S FREEBIEβ Father's Day is just around the corner. We have several DIY card ideas on the site (which I'll link in the trending crafts section), but these are my favorite because they are perfect for kids of any age and leave lots of room for creativity. βCLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD YOUR FATHER'S DAY CARD PRINTABLESβ Choose from 6 designs. Simply treat them as a coloring project or turn them into mosaics using torn paper scraps like we did here. β IN THE SHOPβ I know that it's the middle of the year, but our printable craft-a-week calendar and the flashcards that go along with it can be started any time of year. And, believe me, you're about to hear lots of "I'm boreds" as school lets out. Wouldn't it be great to have a fun and creative alternative to screen time (especially on those rainy days)?
β I believe in the value of crafting with your kids so much that I've even reduced the price on this amazing flashcard collection. It'll keep you crafting memories together all year long, without screens, with less prep (because we stick to this master list of basic supplies) and with less mess. There really is no down side here πΊ β TRENDING CRAFTSβ Now let's get to all of those great crafts for the month of June... Father's Day:

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.
