The time has flown and a year has passed by so very quickly. I wanted to stop and take the time to share with you the last year in review at Pepper Scraps. I hope you will stroll down memory lane with me or find some good reads that you may have missed the first [...]
A Craft a Day: M is for Monsters
What a way to start October! This week was all about monsters, of course all our monsters were fun and cute! If you are new to A Craft a Day A Craft a Day gives you five activities that you can enjoy with your kids, one for each day of the week. Most of these [...]
A Craft a Day: L is for Lion
Haha the first time I posted this I forgot to change the intro. Oh well, that is how it goes sometimes. Zane loves lions, his lovey from when he was little was a lion named Judah. This week you can see my failed attempt at a bento gone bad, but also you can see my [...]
Clothes Pin Lion
I read that having your children work with clothes pins helps with their scissor skills and since that is one thing that I have been working with Zane on I decide to create this craft. Creating these lions was so easy even Zarek, at 2 1/2, could help us! Supplies: plate or card stock Elmer’s [...]
A Craft a Day: K is for King

A Craft a Day: J is for Jelly Fish
Of course I had to be all about ice cream, especially with summer finally choosing to grace us with it’s presence in Oregon. But summer and playing outside is distracting us from our crafts, so we only did half of them this week. That’s okay we still had fun! If you are new to A [...]
Coffee Filter Jellyfish
I saw a great Jellyfish activity on No time for Flashcards. When I saw it I knew I could instantly use an old coffee filter craft trick to make it even more fun! Step 1: Color the coffee filter. Notice the mat underneath, the pens will bleed through. You can do it on newspaper also. [...]
A Craft a Day: No Crafts just Cheap Fun
This week Daddy was on vacation, so crafts were not on the top of our list. This week was more about the things we could do without spending too much money. As I’m sure everyone is dealing with we have gone a little over budget and the timing wasn’t perfect as it was the week [...]
