'Tis the season again! I have such fun doing little crafts like these with my kids for the holidays. I'm not generally a very crafty person, but a DIY handprint or footprint craft always seems feasible enough! I've found that if I'm intentional about the materials, the set up, and the clean up, then it's doable and fun! This year, Sophie and Soren and I made little "Love Bugs" valentines! These only required the kids getting paint on one foot, so it was workable and enjoyable for all of … [Read more...]
