Our 5-year old recently had a birthday, and our boys absolutely love the Cars movie. So of course, the party needed a Cars game…and since I’m too cheap to buy a pre-made game… …we Pinned the Mouth on McQueen. I cut out a mouth for each child, they loved playing it. They thought it was especially hilarous to pin the ... Read More »
After we did these Coffee Filter Easter Eggs, I saw this craft a few weeks back and thought it would be an easy, fun activity. It looked simple enough that we just used the image as an inspiration for our own creations. I love doing stained glass with clear contact paper, because there’s no glue, and virtually no mess. We did these ... Read More »
Materials I used: a flat, flannel, queen-sized sheet, cut to 70″x45″ (you can make two crib sheets out of 1 queen sheet!) four 14″ lengths of 1/4″ wide elastic thread scissors sewing machine My husband and I use a duvet on our bed, so when I buy sheet sets, I never really have a use for the top flat sheet ...

I saw this pin a few weeks ago for making easter eggs with coffee filters, and I thought it was pretty cute. We’ve already made snowflakes and butterflies with coffee filters, but I thought we’d try these. I had a house full of boys for the day (aged 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1) and this craft was great for ...

Well, the first birthday has come and gone, and my computer is finally working again, so I thought I’d share what I did for the birthday cake. In the end I decided not to do anything too fancy since we found out with a pre-birthday cake that the little man doesn’t really actually like cake too much…. I made up ... Read More »
The first time I saw this pin for a travel toothbrush holder, I thought it was a brilliant idea. Every time we go somewhere, I find a plastic bag, throw everyone’s toothbrushes in it, and they all touch and share germs. The bag gets all sticky and I throw it out after because it’s so dirty. With this genius idea, each toothbrush gets ... Read More »
My 4-year old told me he wanted to make a penguin craft today. “Let’s look on Pinterest!” he told me! We had fun admiring all the cute penguin pictures and crafts on there. This one that we came across was so cute, and so very easy for the preschool age. I drew the shapes, and he cut them out. We talked ... Read More »
I’m gearing up for my son’s first birthday this week (February 22!) and while we’re not throwing a party for him (if he had little cousins in the area, or at least some grandparents nearby, I’d make more of an effort, but really, he’s a year old – as long as we get some pics of him with his cake ...

I’ve been loving all the paint chip crafts and ideas on Pinterest. We did the Paint Chip Wreath at Christmas, and I loved how the different shades of green gave depth to the wreath. We decided to do a Valentine’s craft with the same idea. Another thing I like about paint chips is how kid-friendly they are. Your child can easily ... Read More »

There are an awful lot of different sites listed on Pinterest with all sorts of great ideas of activities for kids, but for someone who can’t be bothered to go through all of their different pins and ...
