Pine Cone Christmas Tree Decor

Using items found in nature to beautify my home is so much fun! I wanted to make a fun centerpiece for my table during the Christmas season, and was able to find almost everything I need in my backyard for this Pine cone Christmas Tree Craft:

Wood Slice Snowman Ornament

Here's a simple ornament you could make with a large group of kids in a class or as a family...snowman faces on wood slices!

Hand Print Unicorn

My girls are into unicorns and love pretending they are unicorns every day! So, I knew this hand print unicorn would be the perfect craft :)

I loved how simple this craft was because I just painted my 2 year old's hand pink, stamped her hand print on a paper and let it dry.

Then I used a marker to add the tail, mane, face, horn, and hooves! Easy peasy :).

Thank you The Resourceful Mama for the inspiration!

Popsicle Stick Boats

Our library recently had a "Water Ways" exhibit, and as part of the excitement, they hosted a contest for making boats out of Popsicle sticks! My 10 year old and I each made one to enter, and we both won in our age categories :). Here are the final products (I made the pirate ship, and my son made the other boat):

Reclaimed Wood Candy Corn Sign

We have a bunch of old fence panels and I am having fun finding ways to use them for different signs. I was pretty pleased with how this Candy Corn Sign ended up:
