• jumbo craft sticks
• glue
• tape
• poster board
• laminating machine, and sheets

Simply print on white copy paper, or card stock, and cut them out.  If you choose to laminate them, you can cut them out before or after. It's up to you. It may be easier for the younger kids to cut before laminating.

6. Determine what type of bingo you'll be playing before starting. For example, Four-corners, horizontally only, vertically only, or all patterns. Once the player has a bingo marker on each space, they can call BINGO!
7. Give the winners a small prize or have them pick one out of the prize bin.
8. Play again and again and again! ENJOY!

The pumpkin paper plate craft is great for kids who enjoy arts & crafts.

This project can be done in just a few minutes with supplies you probably have on hand. All you need is some paper plates, glue, construction paper, paint & a ribbon to add to the stem.

It’s a great way to incorporate art into your Fall and Halloween decorations.

How to Make a Pumpkin Paper Plate Craft

To make, just gather a few supplies

• Large white paper plate
• Orange craft paint
• Brown construction paper
• Green construction paper
• Green ribbon  
• Glue (or hot glue gun)
• Paintbrush
• Scissors
• Optional: Strong Tape

Take a look at the photos below to see the process…

Paint the paper plate orange. Set aside to dry. Once dry, apply another coat if desired. Set aside to dry completely.

Cut a brown stem out of the brown construction paper.

Turn the paper plate over to the back and glue the stem on. Allow drying time.

Cut a green leaf out of the green construction paper.

Turn the paper plate over to the front and glue the leaf next to the stem.

Cut the ribbon into a 4-6 inch piece.

Turn the paper plate to the back and glue the ribbon to the back. Once dry, you can use a strong piece of tape to make sure the ribbon stays secure on the paper plate. Use the scissor technique to curl the ribbon. This process may need an adult to do. Safety first 🙂

Now it's time to show off your Pumpkin Paper Plate masterpiece!

Halloween is a holiday that most kids love because they can dress up in a costume and we can't forget the sugared-filled Halloween candy!

My daughter wished Halloween was everyday! She loved Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. Of course, she would always want to wear the dress but I think one of her favorite parts of the costume was the red shoes.

I know I want to see my kids have fun and enjoy themselves. Especially during the holidays. Halloween is no different. 🙂 That's why I created 10 Halloween Bingo cards so they can gather their friends have fun.

Let me share them with you…

4. Put the calling cards in a bowl, bag, or even lay them out upside down on a table. 
5. Choose someone to be the announcer. Select a card and show it to the players. You can also describe it, “Ghost Holding a Pumpkin”.  Each player can place a marker on that image on their Bingo card.
6. Once the player has a Bingo Marker on each space, they can call BINGO! The classic bingo pattern of 5 in a row either horizontally or vertically makes for an easy game.

Do you want to get into the Halloween spirit? This craft is a fun, festive, and easy way to decorate for Halloween. Or, add a little healthy to your Halloween this year!  These cute tangerine jack-o-lanterns. are a  healthier alternative to the usual Halloween treats.

Using a permanent marker or paint marker, draw a face on each tangerine and/or orange. Be creative and vary up the faces you draw! Draw different eyes, mouths, and noses to create a whole family of jack o'lanterns! You can make the eyes glow by adding some glow-in-the-dark paint on the faces you have made. How fun!

These can be used strictly for decoration purposes. I'm not sure if the marker gets through the peel (and I don't want to risk it). So, you want to make them safe and edible by using a food-safe marker.

To make, just gather a few supplies

• Tangerine and/or oranges from your local grocery store
• Black Sharpie marker, or paint marker
• Glow in the dark paint marker
• Food-safe black marker

Take a look at the photos below to see the process…

How adorable are these? I hope you had fun making these cute tangerine jack-o-lanterns.

Kid's Build-A-Bunny Craft Free Printable for Easter

Craft time is so important for our kids, but not so easy on us moms. When you are a busy mom with several little ones to care for, simple is the way to go for craft time! Our free Build-A-Bunny craft printable is the perfect craft to throw together last minute over Easter break to make holiday memories with your kids. All you need is paper, a printer, scissors, and glue!

When you get the file it is a PDF file. These are super easy to open and print. All you need to do is print the bunnies out, let your children make all the color choices, provide scissors and glue and watch cute little bunnies emerge. It doesn't get much simpler than that. By the way, if you have children learning the alphabet, you'll also love our free printable animal coloring pages with letter tracing! Simple is good. 🙂

Scissor Skills for Kids

Any time you can get your child to use scissors, you are helping them build muscle tone, hand-eye coordination, and hand strength. These are super important developmental milestones. If your child struggles with regular kids' scissors, try loop scissors. Loop scissors were originally developed as an accommodation for special needs and they are perfect for that. However, they also work really well for toddlers and preschool children who don't quite have the strength yet for regular blunt tip kid's scissors. My daughter Holly began using these and what a difference it has made!

If your child gets frustrated or overwhelmed during craft time, it's always okay to step in and help. The last thing any of us wants is a meltdown we could have prevented! While you do want to encourage independent work and skill-building activities, you also want to encourage healthy management of big emotions. Both are important, so give yourself permission to help as needed or put the craft away for another day.

What's included?

Our Build A Bunny Printable includes eyes, ears with bows or without, whiskers, and mouths in four color choices. You can mix and match colors and build the bunny without the egg as the body, or you can make the egg the body of the bunny for a completely different look! The end result is a super cute bunny your child is going to love. To give the bunny a little more pizazz, you could use brads so that ears are moveable and you could also add sticky googly eyes.

What Should We Do With the Bunny?

I've discovered a surprising thing about crafts like this. Printed paper and glue crafts end up becoming fascinating toys. Children will name the bunny, talk to the bunny and play with him for hours. If you have several children and each has a bunny they can play a story together with a craft like this. You can encourage this behavior by asking what the bunny's name is or asking the bunny questions.

Once everyone is finished playing with their bunnies, if they are still in good shape you can hang them on a wall or window for display. One good thing about windows, especially if you are in a rental house, is that tape does not ruin the glass like it can ruin the paint on a wall. If you are going to hang the bunnies on a wall, I suggest painter's tape!

What To Do With My Child's Old Crafts after the Holiday

Once Easter is over, what will become of the bunny? You could take the brave route and just throw it away. That's my preference when I need easy. You could also paste these printable crafts into a notebook, have a box for keeping treasures or take a picture of each craft and print a picture book of the craft projects every once in a while. Don't feel trapped into keeping old crafts around though, clutter can get overwhelming fast! This post has some great ideas of what to do with old kid's crafts.

Materials for the Build-A-Bunny Craft

• printer
• paper
• scissors
• glue

Instructions for the Build-A-Bunny Craft

As much as possible, let your child make all the choices and do all the work. This is such an important part of child development.

1. Print the Build-A-Bunny craft PDF file.
2. Cut apart the bunny pIeces and the egg.
3. Glue the bunny pIeces on the egg.
4. Allow everything to dry before playing with your bunny!
5. Display your bunny with pride.

Easter is a special time of wonder and celebration, our build-a-bunny craft will be the perfect addition to your holiday. Not only are cutting, pasting, and playing important skill-building activities for your kids, you are also making special memories together your kids will be talking about when they are old and grey. There is no shame in building a bunny for yourself, joining in the storytime, or even hanging up your bunny with the others! Have fun building bunnies! Treasure these days as they will not last.
