melted crayon hearts

This week for our art project we sharpened lots of crayons, laid them between wax paper, covered it with a towel, and laid an iron on top of it. Later I traced a heart on top, cut them our and hung them on the windows. The boys loved to see the crayons when they were only half melted! They had a lot of fun with this project. Idea found here.

sorry, it was late when I remembered to take a picture...

Constellations

In science the boys were learning about stars, so we took a break from the textbook and dived into a little star 'gazing'! We looked up a few constellations, learned a little about them, then 'charted' them onto paper. Idea found here.

Pumpkins

I had my husband draw a pumpkin for me on a paper (I'm no artist) and I then copied the pumpkin 4 times. The kids then had fun coloring and cutting out faces for them! Easy yet fun art project.

Bats!

The boys and I had a ton of fun making these bats for all. over. the. house. Really, I think there are four walls that are covered in bats throughout my house! I really like them! I'm sad to have to take them down soon...



The template was found here.

Skeletons!

We made these paper skeletons this year and then I let the kids pose them however they wanted!

Link to the templates found here.

New side bar option!

I may be one of the few who still look at and update on this blog, but I thought it would be fun to have a section on the side bar for crafts that we want to make with the kids, but haven't gotten around to yet! The two that I have added were on my craft blog (under my to make section) and I wanted somewhere else to store the kids'. What better place than a kids craft blog?! :) Feel free to add to it (or email me the links) the list whenever you feel like it! Happy crafting!!

Fingerprint Flags

We found this fun flag project, and I thought it would be a cute way to get their little finger prints on something cute that I could keep! :) I haven't taken a picture of the finished project yet...maybe soon though!

For now, here is what you'll need! -Minus the kid whose finger prints you want! :)
