Fall brings some of the most contrasting and beautiful images in nature. The different colors that leaves take, the eventual falling and the beautiful mosaics on the ground make fall an artist’s playground.
Equally importantly, fall plays such a huge role in keeping nature healthy by completing the circle of life for plants where the fallen leaves become nurturing food for the tree’s future growth.
This mother's day, make sure you give your mother a BIG hug.
And, moms & teachers, make this easy craft to educate little ones about this special day and teach them about how much mother's love matters to them.
And, for the dads out there, use this craft to impress your spouse by making this simple and lovely craft with your little one.
Hop, hop, hop, goes the Kangaroo. Who doesn’t get wowed by their inimitable style of motion, box-fighting and the cute kid living in the mother’s pouch? Kids love Kangaroos!
A young Kangaroo is called Joey and when they are born, they are just the size of a peanut with no eyes & limbs! They live in their mother’s pouch drinking her milk as they develop their body and come out when they are a little older.
A Kangaroo mother is a doting one and takes care of as many of three multiple young ones at the same time.
Mothers are so special, right? They so lovingly carry babies in their bodies and give them the nourishment they need to develop. Even after the baby becomes bigger, a mother never stops caring and loving for their little ones.

Nothing is more synonymous with Halloween than the super expressive pumpkins. With their cut-out eyes, nose and mouth, they convey the fun yet scary emotions understandable by even the youngest children.
We thought it would be educational to focus on how small shape variations in eyes and mouth can convey emotions as wide as smiling and scary. So, we made this Pumpkin Emotions Craft for Halloween with a twisted personality!
Be careful folks - one second it’s smiling & cute and in the other menacing & scary!

1. Paint the paper plate blue and let it dry.
2. Cut out a circle from gray paper to make the moon.
3. Cut out cat silhouettes from black paper. You can also download and print the black cat template and then color them black.
Here is another cute craft added to our list of paper plate crafts. Technically, we have not used a paper plate for this craft but the paper plate scrap I have been saving after all the paper plate projects we did in the past. Do you save paper scrap for future projects?
Our house has a few large trees close to the balcony deck. The trees are home to a few squirrels and our toddler has come to adore their cute antics. Her favourite is when the squirrel grabs an acorn and nibbles away at it with her teeth and hands. So cute!
In fall, Acorns fall to the ground and squirrels pick them up burying them for use in the winter hibernation season. Often, not all the acorns get consumed leading to the birth of new oak trees in a few months. And, these natural cycles continue.
This easy paper plate rangoli craft is a great way to involve young children in Diwali decoration traditions. So, save the pumpkin seeds after carving on Halloween to make this pretty mandala art :)
Children have a special relationship with their father. While mothers are their emotional anchors, fathers are often their exploration anchors. Being around a father mostly means playtime or crazy fun activity time. All because fathers enjoy nothing else more than seeing a smile on their children's face.
So, this fathers day, we decided to craft one father-child activity special - the high toss. This is one of the most enduring moments for dads and tots. It was fun creating this craft and brought up happy memories for when our toddler was under 2 years and enjoyed soaring through the air only to land in the safe comfort of dad's arms.
So, what's your favorite dad-child activity?
Happy crafting!

Did you know there are over 5000 species of frogs? Or some frogs can jump 20 times their size or that some species like poison dart frogs are poisonous?
Frogs are fascinating animals for everyone but especially for children. They come in so many colors and have quite a few entertaining characteristics. They hop or jump everywhere. They are amphibious - meaning they can live on the land or in the water. That’s a fun ability!
Have you seen a frog eat? They have super long sticky tongues that they use to catch food such as flies or small insects. It’s quite something to watch them go about getting their belly full with just the tongue.
This movement is so fast often the prey doesn't have a chance to escape. A frog's tongue can snap back into its mouth within 15/100ths of a second.
After our popular Chomp Chomp Bunny Craft, we found that frog meal time actually makes for a fun craft activity for preschool children at school, art classes or home.
All you need is a paper plate and basic craft supplies and you are all set to make your very own “Eat Eat Frog Toy”. Have fun and learn too.
RELATED: 24+ BUNNY CRAFTS FOR KIDSAs the saying goes "It's not how many toys you have, it's how much you play with the ones you have that help children grow & learn." In that spirit, we decided to create a toy-craft rocking elephant from a single paper-plate, creating a rocking motion toy for our tot to play with. Talk about achieving two objectives with a single effort - teach them to be creative and get them a toy for playing with later.
So, next time you are wondering about a new toy for your tot, think to make vs buy.
Happy toy-crafting!
This is an easy elephant craft for preschool and kindergarten kids. Also perfect for an animal theme unit or a zoo theme unit at school.

It's world cup time again in 2018 and football fever is at its peak! Football is considered the ultimate game considering the global nature of its appeal and the suspense each game brings.
This was a great time to introduce our tot to this beautiful game and help her understand the game's objective, which is to score a goal on the opposite team's net.
