She’s Crafty: Easter Bunny Milk Jug Craft
Here’s a fun (and easy!) Easter Bunny Milk Jug Craft for you do to with your little ones this Easter! We have made these jugs for the past few years, and not only have we had a blast making them…but my kids love to store their Easter eggs in them!
All that you will need is an empty milk jug, paper for the ears, a cotton ball tail and a few pipe cleaners and googly eyes. (or you could just draw the whiskers and eyes on). Just cut the top off of a clean milk jug (an adult will have to do this part) and decorate! Fill with Easter grass and this makes for a fun way to recycle a used milk jug into a darling Easter basket!
Added bonus! This makes for a great bin to store your plastic Easter eggs in!

Thankful Turkey Coloring Craft for Kids:
Go here to print out your FREE I’m Thankful Turkey template! My kids and I had a ball making these…super easy and fun, and a thankful turkey is always a great way to put your life in perspective! We do a thankful turkey each year so that I can watch those little hands grow along with our thankfulness!
If you get extra creative, you can also glue things onto this craft: feathers, gems, noodles … dress up your thankful turkey for a festive holiday look. This is also a great project to share with teachers as it is very simple and easy on the budget, yet fun for the kids and parents love to hang this one up!
If you Thanks to GuideCraft Arts & Crafts for this fun project!

I love Halloween arts & crafts, and here is a fun one that I created for my son’s classroom Halloween party a couple of years ago. It’s basically an extension of the every popular ghost/lollipop craft. These are so easy and fun to make and the kids love the puppet factor.
Pumpkin and Ghost Pop Up Lollipop Puppets
Super simple!!
You will need:
Cups (black cups look festive)
Kleenex for Ghosts (or white napkins) and orange napkins for Pumpkins
Sharpie marker for faces
Ribbon for tying napkins/kleenex over lollipops
Lollipops (Tootsie Roll Pops work great)
Felt and/or pipe cleaners for pumpkin top
Silk Leaves and cotton or “spider webs” for covering top of cup
Straws to use as your POP UP PUSHER
Directions: Start by covering your lollipops with kleenex/napkin, then secure the cover with a ribbon at neck of lollipop. Draw a face on your character, and also glue on stem and leaf for pumpkin. You will then stick the lollipop into a straw and tape it so that the straw is now attached to the lollipop. Poke a hole in the middle of the bottom of the cup, big enough for the straw to go through. I like to use a pencil to poke the hoe with so that the hole has some lip to it so that it grabs the straw when you are pushing it up and down. Last, push your lollipop all the way into cup and use a glue gun to cover the top of cup with leaves for the pumpkin and cotton/spider webs for the ghost. When you are done they can POP UP for a fun surprise!

I will be sharing several different Halloween Arts & Crafts over the next few days, and these Mummy Cups are one of our favorites! They are so easy to make, and they are a great way to deliver treats, especially to teachers since they double as a pencil holder! (We used clear plastic cups, but you could also use paper cups and/or you could make them like we did when I was a kid and use tin cans!)
Mummy Cup Treat and Pencil Holders
Super simple!!
You will need:
Cups
Googly Eyes (the bigger the better)
Gauze (we used Curad rolled Gauze from Walmart, which was $2.48 for 4 ft, and were were able to make 12 mummy cups with one box. I cut 2 strips right up the center for the gauze and then cut again into 12 inch strips.
Glue Gun/Sticks
Filler: Whatever goodies that you want to fill your cup with. We used popcorn.
Directions: Start by gluing the googly eyes on, and then take a strip of gauze and stick it on with a dab of glue on the back of cup and wrap around leaving room for the eyes to peep out. It takes very little glue (just a tad) because the gauze sticks very well. Fill them up with your treat of choice, and your mummy cup is done!

I will be sharing several different Halloween Arts & Crafts with you this week and the first part of next week… these are tried and true crafts that I personally created with my kids last year (and will probably do again this year) and might even give you some ideas in case you are organizing a classroom party or group function…or even just some fun activities with your kiddos!
I came up with these last year for my son’s classroom party. I thought this would be a super fun way for all of the kids to carry their Halloween treats home from school:
Google Eye Bags
Super simple!!
Ingredients:
Dark Colored Paper Bags
Glitter
Glue
Google Eyes (I prefer the box that comes with the assorted sizes)
Directions: Write each child’s name in glue … while wet, sprinkle with glitter (we used BLACK glitter) … let dry, and then add google eyes all over the bag:

… I just had to share with you the fun halloween treats that we made last year for my sons kindergarten class… and I will warn you first that NO, they are NOT healthy, but YES, they were all kinds of fun to make and eat 
To make these Oreo Cookie Spiders you will need:
Oreos, Black Licorice, Yellow Frosting, Red Hots and white paper plates/black marker. Open the cookies to add the yellow frosting (for some reason, spider look cooler with yellow gush oozing out) and also add the licorice sticks (you can cut them in half for shorter spiders) … also use the yellow frosting to glue on the eyes. Draw a spider web on the paper plate… walla…Spooky Spider Treats!
A big thanks to Floral Showers Crafts for this darling idea!!

Have you ever heard of triangle crayons? We first discovered them a couple of years ago, and love them. Why? ….they DON’T roll…they stay put. Such a great concept. Plus … they don’t have wrappers on the, so if your kids are like mine, you aren’t finding little torn crayon paper pieces everywhere. And … they come in a great plastic case that it easy for little hands to get in and out of.
I just found a great deal on them on Amazon…they have the Melissa & Doug Triangular Crayons – 24 pack
for only$7.49 (ships FREE with Amazon Prime or on orders over $25) 
Another favorite art item around our home are these Crayon Rocks – Eight Colors (In a Blue Velvet Bag)
they are made from all natural soy and are only $5.60 shipped with Amazon Prime.

Last year, I took advantage of this awesome offer for 250 FREE business cards by making little “Mama Loves You” cards to stick in my son’s lunch box, pocket, notebooks, etc. I recently invented another great use for them! Every week when we study his spelling words, he usually struggles with a few of the challenge words. So… I write the ones that he has trouble with on the back of one of these cards and he keeps it in his pocket so that he can glance at them throughout the week. He LOVES getting all of the words checked off his “to work on” list, so this is a great way for him to see exactly what he needs to work on!
Right now, you can make 250 FREE business cards (just pay shipping!) I love these cards because they are easy to make, and they have lots of designs to choose from. I usually pick the slowest shipping option as well because even though they say 20 days, I have never had it take more than 10. They also have several other FREE items to choose from, including sticky notes, rubber stamps, address labels and more! Just go here to check it all out! (you have to create them and continue through before you will see the FREE option)
