    Spring Tree Q-Tip Painting – Free Printable Craft Activity for Kids

    I originally put this together for Fall when we were studying Autumn trees. However, we enjoyed it so much that I decided to turn it into a Spring craft activity! We love the cherry blossoms and it’s really calming and fun to paint the pink blossoms all over the paper. This would be a great Spring craft activity for toddlers, preschool, kindergarten, first grade, or beyond. (Honestly, I really enjoy it too!) And it fits perfectly with our Spring Tree nature study theme this week! I printed the page on cardstock and then glued it to a piece of construction paper. Then we just dotted our papers with paint to…

    Autumn Tree Q-Tip Painting – Free Printable Craft Activity for Kids

    I put this autumn tree poem printable together last year when we were homeschooling for Kindergarten, and I think I enjoyed it as much as my girls did. There is just something really calming about painting Fall leaves like this. This would be a great Fall craft activity for preschool, kindergarten, or first grade. And it fits perfectly with our Autumn Tree nature study theme this week! I printed the page on cardstock and then glued it to a piece of construction paper. Then we just dotted our papers with paint to represent the Fall leaves.  The best part about this craft activity is that it also works on those…

    Handprint Owl Kid Craft and Free Printable

    This week in our homeschool we have been learning about owls. I made a really fun owl themed snack and was thinking I could do something similar as a printable. My girls are in first grade this year, but I think this would be a simple and cute toddler craft, preschool craft, or kindergarten craft. Actually, I think it would be ideal as a craft for toddlers or preschoolers because their hands are smaller. I was pretty surprised to see how big my daughters’ hands have gotten this year! (And yet they are still tiny compared to my teen! Where do the years go?!) It was my husband’s birthday last…
