Posted by Pinparent — No Comments

I am a New Englander. I love the changes in seasons. I love winter, spring, summer & fall for very different reason. I know that we still have a lot of summer left & I am enjoying every bit of it, but I have to admit, I am looking forward to my favorite of all of the seasons. Fall is nearing & I cannot wait. I love the crisp autumn air, Halloween, apple picking, cider & the changing of the leaves. Fall trees are so beautiful & they offer great inspiration for arts & crafts. Here is a collection of wonderful fall tree projects that you can do with your kids.

23 Adorable Pumpkin Crafts For Kids

Posted by Pinparent — 2 Comments

I know that I may be a little premature in my excitement, but my favorite season begins next month and I couldn’t be happier. I adore the fall & I feel the same way about fall crafts. This week we made our first pumpkin craft of the year. We made some simple cupcake liner pumpkins. We glued our liners down to a piece of paper with a glue stick & drew in our stems with markers.

It was as easy as that. Our first pumpkin craft of the year was done.

I know this will be the first of many, as I love pumpkins. There are so many possibilities. If you love the fall & pumpkins as much as I do, here is a great list of ideas for you & your kids to do together.

Pasta Shell Footballs

Posted by Pinparent — 2 Comments

Next week starts football pre-season. While I don’t actually care for football (see my post ‘A Football Widow’s Rant’), my husband does & so does my daughter. She watched her first game at only one week old. I am not actually sure if it is the game that she enjoys or the fact that she gets to cuddle up with her father & eat chips & dip.

With football season quickly approaching, I thought that a football craft was essential.

As you all know, I am a huge fan of making pasta crafts. I especially love working with jumbo shells. They were perfect for what I had in mind.

Pasta Shell Footballs

This is an easy & quick craft. All you will need is jumbo pasta shells & brown & white paint.

Directions:

Paint the jumbo pasta shells in brown & let them dry.

Use a skinny paint brush to paint white lines on the shells & give the appearance of a football.

Let your little footballs dry.

I thought Mai did a great job on her football. She painted in her lines very carefully.

I painted a football field for our tiny pasta footballs to sit on. Mai wanted to make pasta football players too. Maybe another day little girl.

20 Character Inspired Kid’s Crafts

Posted by Pinparent — 1 Comment

A few weeks ago we took our daughter to the movies to see ‘Inside Out’. I cried, my daughter laughed & we all left the movie happy. After the movie, my daughter insisted that we all call her Joy after the main character. She wanted to wear green every day & asked people what they thought of her blue hair. This is a common occurrence in our house. Her character changes from week to week. She has been Hello Kitty, Elsa & other assorted characters and animals. Not only does she enjoy pretending to be them, she loves making crafts that are inspired by them. We have made many crafts over the years & have stumbled across quite a few amazing ones as well. Here are some of our favorites.

Dinosaurs Crafts

Posted by Pinparent — 4 Comments

Our daughter loves to character play. Almost daily she takes on a new role to play & she likes to assign roles to us as well. For the past two days she has been a baby T-Rex. She has been roaming around the house roaring & stomping her little dinosaur feet. I decided to use those little dinosaur feet to make a T-Rex craft for our baby tyrannosaurus.

I painted her foot in 2 different shades of green & added a few black spot to her feet.

We pressed it onto a sheet of white paper & let it dry.

I drew in the tail, arms, legs, jaw, eye & teeth to form our dinosaur.

When we were done, she wanted to make another craft. “More dinosaurs!” It has been a while since we made a pasta craft. She wanted to make them out of pasta shells. We made a stegosaurus with our pasta.

We started with rigatoni for the legs. I used a glue gun to glue two pieces of rigatoni together for each pair of legs. (Adults should operate the glue gun.)

Choose a jumbo shell with well folded in edges on both sides.

Glue both sets of legs to the bottom of the shell.

Glue a medium size shell into one end of the jumbo shell.

Glue a piece of ziti into the opposite opening on the jumbo shell.

Add a bead of hot glue down the spine & add the elbow macaroni to form the spines.

Let the kids paint them in the colors of their choice & then let dry.

Add googly eyes to finish off your cute little dinosaurs.

Pasta Shell Fish Craft

Posted by Pinparent — 10 Comments

I am beginning to think that there is nothing that cannot be made out of pasta shells. Because my daughter loves working with them just as much as I do, we are back with another round of pasta crafts. Tonight, our craft of choice is fish.

What you will need:

Jumbo pasta shells

Medium pasta shells

Bowtie pasta

Chick peas

Acrylic paint

Glue gun (use caution when operating a glue gun. Not recommended for small children.)

Directions:

To assemble your fish, glue a medium pasta shell into the end of the jumbo shell.

Glue 2 more medium shells to the side of the jumbo shell to form fins.

Glue a piece of bowtie pasta to the other end of the jumbo shell to form the back fin.

Paint your fish with acrylic paints.

Paint a chick pea in white for each fish that you are creating.

Add a black dot in the center for the eye ball.

Glue the eyes to the painted fish to finish off the craft.

Pasta Shell Snails

Posted by Pinparent — 2 Comments

Our daughter is becoming quite the artist. She has been drawing & painting up a storm. One of her favorite things to draw is a snail. She loves to draw them. She makes a swirling circle for a body, antennae with eyes & she never forgets to add his snail slime.

We have been making a lot of crafts lately to celebrate her new found love for the snail. Tonight we used mommy’s favorite crafting material, pasta shells.

What you will need:

Jumbo pasta shells

Ziti for the antennae

Elbow macaroni for the tail

A medium sized shell for the head

Chick peas for the eyes

Glue gun

Acrylic paint

You may choose to paint the pieces first or assemble the pieces & then paint. We typically paint first. Tonight we did both.

To assemble, start by gluing the small shell into the larger one.

Glue 2 pieces of ziti on top of the jumbo shell. Hold into place until the glue hardens.

Glue the elbow macaroni to the empty end of the shell so that the macaroni is pointing up.

Paint the chickpeas white with a black center for the eyes. Glue to the top of the ziti.

Paint swirls on the side of the snail bodies in a different color to complete your creatures.

Pasta Sailboat Craft

Posted by Pinparent — 4 Comments

The wonderful thing about doing crafts with my daughter is watching her creativity grow. Lately she has been taking the lead in what kind of crafts we do. A couple of nights ago before bed she told me that she wanted to make boats out of milk cartons. After I stopped grinning from ear to ear at her suggestion, I told her that we would do it the next day. Unfortunately, the recycling was taken out before I got home & our milk cartons were gone. We will have to wait a few more days or so until we finish another carton of milk, but in the meantime we can still make our boats.

Pasta Sailboat Crafts

Break up 4-5 pieces strands of spaghetti to form the shape of your boat. Glue them into place with glue.
