Have left over Easter eggs? Upcycle them into these cute spider crafts. My daughter absolutely loves spiders so I'm glad we can make some more spider craft toys for her! This would double perfectly for Halloween as cute/not scary decor for a kids Halloween themed party!

When I was little, we had a massive sliding glass door to the garden. One day, my mum's friend came over to visit and walked right into the glass door while trying to go outside. Ever since then, we've always put window clings up as a precaution. Now, I make them from scratch so they can look how I want!

Staghorn ferns are a beautiful air purifying plant and with this DIY mount, it doubles as a nice piece of wall decor art. This is an easy to make mount that looks expensive, but can be made for fractions less than buying one online/retail stores.

When the sun starts to heat up added to our rotational power shut down, that's seriously not cool at all. Then it would make you find a cool place to stay. But upon looking around I found some material that would at least relieve me from the annoying hot weather.

By ShirleyE
This cute little sheep badge is made from cardstock. It's quite easy to make and a lot of fun. You can draw the eyes on if you don't have wiggle eyes and you can use a safety pin instead of a brooch back. For very young children to wear this you might not want to use a pin.

A lot of times when I am cleaning, I find little items that the children like, but don't want to really play with. In that case, I will take whatever jars I have, and fill them up with the little jewels and treasures!
By 15mhhm15
The kids are into super hero/super powers lately! They wanted a super hero "toy" so I made these super hero straws they can run around with! These would double as cute decorations for a banner or decoration if you're having a super hero kids' party!
By a moore

My parents tease me because I've always been such a lousy gardener. They say I've got a touch that could kill a cactus. This craft is in their honour: a cactus plant I can't possibly ruin because it's made of stone! You can make this cute little forever-plant with items you may already have around the home.

It's a bit of a cheat making a greetings card with stickers, but do it right and it can be as good as anything you buy in the shops. Keep it simple and elegant for best effects.
By Carole Heaven
Recently, my 4 year old grandson drew a picture of himself and me, and I got to thinking that it would be a very nice picture for his little brother or sister that is expected in the spring.
Spring Flowers Fine Motor Coloring and Velcro Activity
By tiffanytallent1981
This activity is very simple for younger children. They can help make it by coloring the picture and adding the Velcro. In the classroom, it is a perfect spring addition to the manipulative or quiet centers.
By Robyn
Sometimes it is fun to change things up a bit when doing art. Art projects should be fun. In this project a square piece of fabric is used instead of paper. I used a pill bottle top without the lid for the circle stamp. I dipped the bottle into the paint as shown.
By Sandy
It's time to get our Easter decorations out! Here is an easy bunny to make with your children or grandchildren. Lay washcloth like a diamond. Roll each half to the center making sure the "fuzzy" side of the washcloth is going to be on the outside.
Finding the Center of a Circle
By lalala...
I recently posted the cat tree project. I selected a round base to use for it, but that made it a little harder to find the center than if it had been a square. I thought I would share a quick way to find the center of a circle.
