a simple and easy craft : christmas tree ornaments using only wooden beads and twine

i love wrapping christmas presents! I like making my own gift tags, and using different wrapping paper (always brown kraft paper though!) This year I added a personalized handmade tree ornament onto each gift as well!

This year, with Lauren getting more into Christmas - I thought it would be fun to do an advent activity calendar. I started looking around, but soon realized I wanted it to be something that we could re-use every year. I found a few fabric ones I liked, but decided it would be pretty easy and more affordable to just make one! I planned it out (sort of…) and got to work.

an easy halloween costume you can put together with clothes you already have! It would be a great sibling costume for a halloween party or event where you don’t need to be dressed up warm!

an easy DIY honeybee costume using a little yellow dress, black ribbon.

a perfect diy, budget-friendly costume for a baby and older child that will also keep them toasty warm on Halloween!

a fun diy activity for toddlers or preschoolers to practice colour recognition and matching skills - using just paint samples and craft sticks!
