Mom & Me craft: Hand Print Polar Bears

 Most of the crafts I've done with my kids over the years have involved me supervising while they craft, but occasionally it's fun to craft with them. My daughter loved making these "Mom & Me Hand Print Polar Bears" not too long ago.

I got the idea from Simple Everyday Mom. All you need is a glue stick, googly eyes, construction paper and scissors!

Parent/Child hand print sun craft

I've learned that crafting with little ones is much more fun if I get to craft to...so when I saw an idea to make a sun out of my child's hand prints, I decided to add my hand prints too :).

Hand Print Fish Craft

If you want a simple craft that's perfect for a variety of ages, have your kids make their own fish using their hand prints! My 4 year old made several, and when my 9 year old saw what we were working on, he had to make his own...I had to make a couple of my own fish too, of course :).

You can keep this craft simple with markers, scissors and construction paper...or you can dig through your stash of craft supplies and pull out stickers, googly eyes, puff paint, pom poms, etc.

Easy Fall Decor: Pumpkins

I love decor that is easy, affordable and versatile. These pumpkins are made from construction paper and chenille stems! Plus they're easy to make, and kids can make them with you.

Another bonus is that they work for the entire fall season.
Thank you Apartment Therapy for the cute idea and instructions. I linked up to Tip Me Tuesday at Tip Junkie.

Toddler Craft: Turkey

My husband loves to encourage our 2 year old to say "gobble gobble" whenever I call her a turkey (which tends to happen a lot). It's so darn cute, and often puts me in a better mood, because a toddler saying "gobble gobble" is just about the cutest thing in the world. So, a turkey craft is perfect for any little turkey in your life!

All you need is: construction paper, glue, scissors, and googly eyes.

Toddler Fun: Shape Game

We are learning about shapes constantly right now and my 2 year old insists on me drawing them whenever there's a crayon nearby, so I thought she would enjoy this little shape game I quickly made up:

Just cut out multiple shapes from construction paper and trace them onto a white piece of paper. We stuck with circles, triangles and squares.
