⛱ Seriously Beachy Crafts {and a FREEBIE}
|
Hey Reader, My one regret for this upcoming summer is that we don't have a single beach trip planned. Oh, how I miss the sound of the ocean! The weather her in Western PA is absolutely gorgeous, but I really do long for some lazy days on the beach... TODAY'S FREEBIE One of my favorite grab and go crafts are coloring pages. They're so versatile...leave lots of room for creativity...great for practicing fine motor skills...and enjoyed by kids of all ages. Today, your freebie is a set of beach themed coloring pages. Just print and go. IN THE SHOP Sticking with the beach theme, today's featured shop product is truly one of my favorite sets of crafts I've ever created. This collection includes 7 paper plate under the ocean animal crafts (walrus, shark, orca, dolphin, seal, narwhal, humpback whale) complete with instructions and templates. I think that my favorite is the walrus...or maybe the seal…no, wait…I can't choose...honestly, they're all so adorable! This paper plate craft collection is priced at just $6.99 (less than $1 per craft...you can't even get a coffee for that). Honestly, I think that I'm raising that price soon. It's just too much cuteness for such a low price. My absolute favorite part of my job is when families come to the studio so that we can craft together. It was so much fun when my young friend, George, made the shark craft with me from this collection. He has quite an imagination and had his own take on the craft. It was so awesome! You can see the full video HERE. TRENDING CRAFTS First, have you seen these total adorable new crafts on the site? Now for even more beachy craft inspiration... Honestly...this list could be so much longer. I'll have to send you more fun ocean crafts soon. Q: Why did the crab never share his toys?
A: Because he was a little shellfish!
P.S. If you haven't been over to our YouTube channel in awhile, you're definitely missing out. Check out the stingray craft and Manta ray craft tutorials and then keep on browsing. There are so many new crafts to make with the kids this summer! |

Hey Reader, Some of my favorite memories from when my kids were little were our zoo days. Not only did we get to see and interact with amazing animals, but we usually went with good friends too. Zoo days are the absolute best! On one of our most memorable visits, we were so excited to see the new baby polar bear, and apparently it was excited to see us too...because as we were looking through the glass into the underwater part of its habitat, it swam right up to my son and tried to give him a...
Hey Reader, I love those old timey movies where people are just hanging out by the local watering hole...shoes off, fishing, swimming in their skivies, just enjoying life.
