My boys are huge Minecraft fans, they can watch StampyLongNose videos all day if I let them. This year we decided to make Minecraft valentines, specifically Minecraft Creeper Pencil Topper Valentines. This craft is so easy and Zane loved making them with me as you can see in our crafting video. I originally planned on having just the creeper …
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 …
At first I was going to do K is for knight but then realized with Zane learning phonics this may confuse him. I decided to change it to K is for King. We are doing a lot of the same activities I’m just changing it all to be about a king instead of a knight.
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 activities work well for preschoolers, but you may be able to adapt them for your toddler.
You can learn more about the basics of a Craft a Day Here.
I will post the crafts on Saturdays so you can use the weekend to get any supplies that you may need. We are making our way through the alphabet this year so if you missed a letter you can find it here.
Supplies: assorted fruit, pretzels or sword toothpicks, craft foam, Popsicle sticks, decorations for crown, hot glue, elmer’s glue, styrofoam balls or pool noodle, cardboard, misc decorations for the walls,, paint or markers, craft knife or good scissors, Construction paper, Tin foil, Yellow and black pipe cleaners, Feather, Black pen or marker, Knight Template, plate, stickers, scissors or exacto knife, random craft scraps
Now I’m not supermom and I don’t expect you to be either. We don’t always get to each activity, sometimes life is just too busy. Hopefully you may try one or two of these activities with me and my kids! You don’t have to do every single one. You don’t have to be doing preschool with your child. I just hope to give you a resource for some great fun with your kids!
If you do any of these crafts and happen to take a picture or write a blog post about it please make sure and share your link in the comments. Also don’t forget to link the original crafter! I may feature you and your blog on the following weeks post!
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!

My husband is leaving swing shift. (Can we say yay!!) His first day work a regular shift is Valentine’s Day. I decided we needed to do something fun to count down to Valentine’s Day and our new family schedule. After thinking about it for over a week I finally came up with an idea on Jan 31st.
I quickly pulled out what arts and craft supplies I could find tucked here and there (as all my good stuff is in storage right now). This first day was easy I pulled out some MnMs and put them in a snack bag. I cut some construction paper to make a bag topper. I wrote out with stickers and pens 14 days till we can have family movie night.
I wrote on each little container or bag ___ Days till/to…________ and I placed that many items inside the bag or container. Here are just some of the items I did:
13 days to more programming and study time (13 Extra Large Smarties)
11 days to more snuggle time (11 puffy craft balls)
9 days till we can have family game night (9 playing cards)
I had so much fun making these. Every day I slip one into my hubby’s lunch or some days just give it to him.
What did you do for valentines day?
