• Kinley and I were talking about how the fall turned to feeling like winter so quickly this year out on our walk/scooter ride this afternoon and I remembered this fun changing-seasons project we did last year ❄️🍂🌸☀️ . I just cut a whole bunch of freehanded trunks out of white printer paper and we used Do-A-Dots and paper scraps to make the tree change for each season: ▫️hole-punched snow for winter ❄️💕 ▫️green dot markers and birdies in a nest for spring ▫️green paper leaves and green dot markers for summer ▫️orange, yellow and red dot markers and paper leaves for fall . It was a super easy one that led to some great discussions and some good fine motor practice and we were so happy with the finished tree squares, they are STILL hanging up in our schoolroom 😁👊🏼 . With it getting so dark so early I’ve gotta get on top of my picture taking! If you are here looking for the leaf turkeys from my stories, check back tomorrow 🤪 Dang daylight savings! . . . @doadotart #seasonschange #treeart #kidsactivities #easycrafts #kidscrafts #finemotorskills #artteachersofinstagram #artteacher #craftsforkids #processart #kidscrafts101 #kidcrafts #artforkids #kidart #kindergartenteacher #kindergartenart #preschoolathome #homeschooler

  • If you are making your grocery list right now, put a bag of CRANBERRIES on it friend! . You can do all kinds of stuff with those festive little fruits. We smashed them yesterday in a failed attempt at making our own watercolors and even though the paint was lame, the smashing was awesome! . We are also gonna use them this week for: ▫️water and cranberry sensory bin (the floating factor makes them ideal for scooping and colander fun!) ▫️building 3D shapes with cranberries and toothpicks ▫️decorating harvest play dough cookies ▫️put them in a glass of Sprite for a dancing cranberries experiment ▫️stringing them into necklaces ▫️taste testing . Not bad for 99 cents huh? 😁😁 . . . #kidsactivities #creativeplay #cranberries #kindergartenteacher #preschoolteacher #preschoolactivities #steamkidschallenge #scienceiscool #scienceisfun #funwithkids #tagfromtheheart #smily #novembervibes #homeschoolers #hiphomeschoolmoms

  • When you get back from your next fall nature walk and your hands and pockets are stuffed with leaf treasure, bust out the bucket of tempera sticks and extend the fun with some super easy process art! . Tempera sticks make excellent leaf prints (thanks for the tip @thea_snv) but did you know they are also perfect for painting the leaves themselves? (I mean let’s face it, EVERYTHING makes a good tempera stick canvas — those things are amazing! 🤩😁) . We had fun decorating these gorgeous sweet gum leaves (or star leaves as Kin calls them) and then we set them free to blow away in the backyard imagining they would make a random stranger smile as they blew across his shoes — you know kind of kindness-rock-style? 😁💕🌬🍂 . If you don’t have tempera sticks yet, put them on your Christmas list! We love our big bucket of @michaelsstores brand ones. They are the consistency of lipstick, they dry in two minutes and they are WASHABLE!! Miracle art product right here, baby! 🤓👊🏼😂 . . . #kidsactivities #creativeplay #easycrafts #fallleaves #steamkidschallenge #rainbowcolors #natureart #makeitwithmichaels #leaves🍃 #KidArt #processart #artteachersofinstagram

  • Kinley’s on the mend after a terrible bout with a nasty tummy bug yesterday, so I’m sharing a fave Turkey Time throwback from last year: muddy turkey tracks inspired by the amazing Mary Catherine from @fun.a.day 🦃✨ . K LOVVVVED this one! She had a blast stomping those little fuzzy turkey feet around on the kraft paper and we ended up using her finished fancy foot painting as a table runner for our Turkey Day feast 😁😁 . Wanna try it? I popped the link to Mary Catherine’s pipe-cleaner foot making instructions in my bio for ya! I ended up adding a straw for a leg — makes it a little easier to stamp 😉🦃💕 . I think we will be back to our regular crafty turkey-making ways tomorrow, but for now back to the snuggly movie watching blankie fort ☺️💕Happy almost weekend, y’all!! . . . #raisingkinley #craftykid #kidscrafts #creativeparent #craftsposure #preschoolathome #homeschool #thekidsplay #craftymomma #iheartart #kidsart #artmatters #creativekids #processart #turkeytime #kidsartwork #artfun #gomakestuff #thanksgivingtable #thanksgivingcrafts #kidsactivities #everydayplayhacks #invitationtocreate

  • Don’t you just wanna hug him? 🥰🤓 . Leaf critter-making was a super simple one but it was a BIG. OL. HIT. y’all! We spotted this one on @artfulparent’s feed full of artsy yumminess yesterday and had to give it a try ourselves but since we couldn’t find any chalk markers that we loved at the store (can you believe we don’t have chalk markers yet?! 😳😂) we just used our trusty @weareooly Twisty Stix oil pastels to decorate our little leaf buddies. Head over and see Jean for the instructions! . Side note: we weren’t patient enough to let our leaves lay flat in a book for a few days before crafting with them so I’m sure they will curl up, but that’s okay. We had plenty of fun putting on leaf critter puppet shows today to make it worth it! Art you can play with is the best kind isn’t it? 😁👊🏼 . . . #fallcrafts #natureart #puppetmaking #leaves🍃 #artforkids #easycrafts #artwithkids #googlyeyes #smockson #kidsactivities #creativeplay #everydayplayhacks #makestuff #getcreative

  • Hello fellow Thanksgiving fans! I thought it was about time I share our #invitationtocreate a turkey tray. It’s been keeping Kinley busy for DAYS! 👊🏼💕🦃✨ . You’ll need: ▫️brown dough | We were fresh out of Cream of Tartar, so we used @funlearningforkids’ awesome tartar-less recipe and added @blickartmaterials brown liquid watercolors and cinnamon 👃🏼💕 Our whole house smells yummy! ▫️googly eyes ▫️orange or yellow straws, cut into fourths ▫️orange or yellow craft foam, cut into triangles ▫️feathers . K has been making turkeys like it’s her job and she has cinnamon dough ground into every pair of jeggings to prove it 😂🤪 There’s just something so satisfying about poking the feathers in! 😍 . Oh, one quick tip — the straw pieces make good legs but they also help keep turkey body balls together (see third pic 🤓👍🏼) . . . #raisingkinley #creativekids_ig #thanksgivingfun #turkeytime #gobblegobble #dough #playdough #playdoughfun #homeschooling #funwithkids #letthemplay #letthembekids #kindergartenteacher #playtolearn

  • I was at a total loss yesterday about what I was gonna fill Kinley’s November sensory/small world with — feathers? pretend leaves? corn...again? Then I remembered one we loved from a couple years back — a button tree bin! . It’s got: ▫️pipe-cleaner trees — slide for a closer peek at how I made them or check our stories highlights under “button bin” ▫️little noodles dyed brown with food coloring (I made those things about 3 years ago and we’ve used them more times than I can count!) ▫️buttons ▫️Peppa & Friends | @jakkstoys . Digging around in the noodles, rearranging the forest and marching the cute little buddies around on pretend nature treasure walks is super fun, but threading those little rainbowy button “leaves” on the branches is the best part and just happens to be fabulous fine motor practice! . We loved this one then and it’s still a big giant hit now! 😁👊🏼 What are YOU putting in your November sensory bins? I’d love some ideas for next year if you feel like sharing!

  • Have you noticed that we have approximately 3 bazillion crafty holiday traditions around here? 🤓😂 Well, Do-a-Dot flint corn is one of them! This one is perfect for even the littlest turkeys — EVERYONE can work a dot marker right? I used to make these with my daycare babies every year and Kinley has been making them since her very first Turkey Day! . Wanna give it a try? You’ll need: ▪️cream colored card stock or manila paper ▪️dot markers | we used original rainbow colors and shimmer @doadotart ▪️gluestick | @elmersproducts . All you have to do is: ▫️Use dot markers to make kernels all over an entire sheet of cardstock or manila paper. ▫️Cut some corncob shapes out of the dry dotted paper. ▫️Attach manila or card stock husks with a glue stick. . That’s it — easy peasy, huh? Molly @littleoneslearn made some like this the other day with a cotton ball pinched in a clothespin and dipped in paint instead of dot markers which looked rad too! . I like to attach them all to a piece of twine and make a corny little Thanksgiving bunting!

  • We owe @prekwolfpack so dang big for this winner of an idea! . Her pumpkins were the first thing I saw this morning when my “get up and head to the pumpkin patch” alarm went off and I seriously thought about her pumpkin picture ALL DAY!! We are talking grade A gourdgeousness y’all 😍🎃 . Kin and I picked out 7 perfect mini pumpkins at the patch (check my stories for other Pigeon Roost Farm adventures), came home, gave them a scrub and got to coloring on them with oil pastels! We are totally doing this next year, too — how pretty will these be on the Thanksgiving table? I hope they make it that long 🦃🤞🏼💕😁 .

Happy Halloween Eve and THANKS for another awesome idea, Katy!! 😘😘😘 . . . #halloween🎃 #pumpkinpatch #pumpkinart #nocarvepumpkin #oilpastel #letthembekids #artteachersofinstagram #raisingkinley #tagfromtheheart #steamkidschallenge #halloweenfun #halloweencrafts #oct_playalong #rainbowcolors #artwithkids #everydayplayhacks
