Scarecrow Acitity and Coloring Page

Scarecrow Activity-Print Below

Another Thanksgiving project and super good for Fine Motor Skills! This cute little guy is our scarecrow. It's available as an activity, or just a coloring page. It's super simple. So simple that your little one could probably do it without your help on the instructions.

My second oldest daughter made some pumpkin pie the other night and it was great. It made me so excited for Thanksgiving coming up soon! It's my husbands favorite holiday.

This year, my two oldest and I are going to do the black Friday shopping. We don't get into it as much as some, but we love doing some shopping and getting breakfast after. It's definately "black" for a reason though! It always ends up being so expensive. It's definately worth it to get those deals though.  

So here is the coloring page for the Scarecrow:

Here is our super cute Printable Fall Harvest Pumpkin

This was extra fun to make. This little printable paper pumpkin is way easier to make than it looks. We have included instructions with pictures. Fall and Harvest is one of my favorite times of year. If we could only skip winter all together and go straight to spring from here. Well no, I would like a little snow until Christmas then straight into spring. Ya, skip that long January and February.

Free Printable Skeleton Activity and Coloring Page

Activity

Coloring Page

Very excited Halloween is so near! My little girls are going as a unicorn, a three musketeer, a fairy, and a witch. Their costumes are nearly ready for trick or treating. My older kids aren't really dressing up...just maybe buying a mask or bunny ears or something for their "costume". Not nearly as fun as the little ones!
So here is another project. I'm trying to get a bunch posted before the holiday. It's just a little skeleton that they can make dancing or walking or doing whatever they want. Just let your child choose which legs and arms they want, and glue them to the torso. Then, naturally glue the head to the torso, the feet to the legs, and the hands to the arms. That's it! Another fun Halloween project. Then there is also a coloring page to go along with it. To see more free printable crafts visit http://www.smartypantsfun.com/

Free Printable Halloween Haunted House Craft

This is a really fun one. It's one of my favorite Halloween projects! Just cut the house out along the dotted lines and cut along the dotted lines on the door and windows so that they can open and close. Then, cut out the Halloween figures and glue them on page 2 in the window and door spaces, OR let your child draw a pic in the white spaces of something that they want. Next glue the house on page 2 along the dotted line so that you can open the windows and door and see the cute things behind them! If you and your child like this, you'll love our other projects. Check them out at http://www.smartypantsfun.com/ and get them for free.

Our Halloween Spider and Haunted House Craft Free Printable Coloring Page

So I went to buy my 2 and 5 year old daughters a pumpkin today. Of course, the perfect one was a pumpkin at the bottom of a pile of pumpkins at the grocery store. I thought I was being extra good at rearranging the pile as we slipped the bottom one out.  Nope! Before I could stop it, we had created a small landslide of pumpkins in a parking lot with a slope, while people around were wondering why I was dumb enough to try and pull a pumpkin from the bottom. Picture me chasing pumpkins across the parking lot, trying to catch them and keep track of my two girls at the same time. LOL Quite a site.

This haunted house coloring page is another great creation from my oldest daughter. She has a great printable Halloween project coming soon that goes with this page. Love that coloring keeps the kids busy and develops good motor skills. You can check out all of our free printable paper crafts and coloring pages at http://www.smartypantsfun.com/  .

You can print it from the Halloween page at our site or on our blog or follow the Print Link below.

This is our lates Halloween Printable Craft- So Cute!

Here is our latest Halloween printable craft for all of you. Super easy and cute. My 20 year old daughter made this one. I'm pretty proud of her. My kids had a lot of fun with it.
 Ok, so am I the only lame one at decorating for the holiday? I want to be that kind of mom that is so festive, but it is SO at the bottom of my long list of  'must do's'. I through a few things up that look pretty shabby because they have been in and out of a box for years now. LOL  I make a new goal.... Next year I'm going to be way funner and decorate my house for Halloween. ;)
So enjoy this cute printable. You can always see all of our crafts at www.smartypantsfun.com

To print this project you can go to our Free printable Halloween paper crafts at our web site or click below.

Halloween Ghost and Pumpkin Coloring Page

Here is my newest creation. Funny story about this one... I sketch the pictures before putting them onto the computer. I sketched the ghost and pumpkin easily but tried the face about 4 times and erased it trying to get a cute ghost face that the kids would love.  I got frustrated and set it down and my nine year old daughter picked it up and sketched the eyes and mouth and added a spider yo-yo. It was perfect, as seen above.  LOL   Lesson learned... if you can't get it right, get your nine year old to do it for you. Well she is hired. Print it and have fun. Also check out all of our other Free printable coloring pages and printable arts and crafts at www.smartypantsfun.com

 If anyone out there would be interested in a coloring contest let me know. I will post the contest coloring page and announce a winner in two weeks. They will need to scan and email their child's finished coloring page to me. I will post them all on the site (anonymously if desired) and send the winner of each age group a big coloring book and markers.  Let me know if that sounds fun to any of you.

Printable Bat and Moon Halloween Coloring Page

Here is our Bat and Moon Halloween coloring page for those who have kids that would rather color the page than cut an glue crafts. One of mine loves to color, but not cut out, so it ispired us to do each project in a craft and a coloring page. The Bat and Moon craft project we printed last Saturday is super cut made up. Print them both for free. We do all of our crafts and coloring pages as free printables.

Our Bat and Moon Halloween Printable Craft

Here is our first Halloween Project for your little girls and guys. Kind of struggled today getting it finished and on the blog. LOL! My little ones love my projects, but don't so much like me on the computer for 2 hours, if you know what I mean. It is a simple color, cut and paste project. Great to keep them busy, and build their skills. Thinking about doing a Halloween Coloring Page and making it into a coloring contest for all your youngsters. Trying to think of a cool award for the winner. Check back later this week for the printable page and the details. As always this is a free printable craft. Check out our Instructions and print in color or black and white and have fun.

Free Printable Owl Hanger

Printable Boy Owl Hanger - Color

Printable Boy Owl Hanger - Black & White

Printable Girl Owl Hanger - Color

Printable Girl Owl Hanger - Black & White

This is the Free Printable Owl Hanger. I let my girls hang this project on their bedroom wall and they loved it.

The instructions for this one are easy as well. Here they are:

Note: This project is best if printed on heavier paper or cardstock. If not available, print on regular paper and glue owl’s body to something heavier such as the side from a cereal box. Trim off excess cardboard around the owl’s body. This will make owl stronger for hanging.

1.If printed in Black and White, color or paint and dry.
2.Cut out eyes, beak, body and feet.
3.Cut out as many rows of feathers as desired.
4.Fold feather tops back at dotted line.

5.Fold beak at line.
6.Glue eyes, beak and feet to body.

7.Glue the feathers to the owl by applying glue to the folded back tops and pressing it against the owls stomach, leaving the feather bottoms poking outward.

8.Attach a string to the dots on the ears by gluing. Or, puncture a hole at the dots and tie string through the hole. Then hang.

If these are difficult at all, you can view the instructions at http://www.smartypantsfun.com/. Just click on the "More Free Printables" tab, scroll down a little, and there will be a pic of it. Just click on the "View Instructions" link and it will show the instructions with pics that go along with the steps. Might make it more simple. :-) 

My little four year old girl is so funny. She has a stuffed doggy that she loves and takes everywhere with her. Today we baked a cake in her easy bake oven because it was puppy's birthday (that stuffed animal is always having birthdays). Well every night she prays that that stuffed animal will "be a real puppy". Lol It makes me want to really get her a dog, but we have too many animals as is! We have 2 pigmy goats, 3 bunnies, 1 fish, and 1 cat. I don't really want to take on the responsibility of another animal.......but I just might.

Truth is, I've been thinking alot about the whole dog thing lately and looking into it. It would be fun to get a little house dog. Something that doesn't get very big. Hmmmmm. But then I think about the mess that I would end up cleaning, the vet bills I would have to pay, on top of food and shots and everything else a little doggy needs, and I start to doubt it again. But one of these days....I'll probably get one anyways. :-)

Enjoy the craft!

Free Printable Mood Meter

Free Printable Boy Mood Meter - Black & White

This is what we call the Mood Meter. Here are the instructions:

Note: This project is best if printed on heavy paper or cardstock. If cardstock is not available, print to paper and paste to something more rigid, such as the back off of a cereal box.
1. If printed in black and white, color or paint and dry.
2. Cut out pointer.
3. On the pointer, puncture a small hole at one end of the dotted line. Cut along dotted line around the three sides to the other end of the dotted line.
4. Cut the meter out.
5. Slide pointer over the edge of the left side with center section in back and arrow in front. Slide up and down as desired.

Jungle Craft

Free Jungle Craft Color - 2 Pages

Free Jungle Craft Black & White - 2 Pages

Free Printable Coloring Page

See all of our great pre school crafts and craft ideas for kindergarten.

This one is fun because there are three different options. That way if your kid/kids (or you) don't want to get out the crayons and glue and scissors then you can just print the coloring page. The top two links are both activities. Here are their instructions:

1. If printed in black and white, color or paint and let dry.

2. Cut out animals, leaves, and trunks on second page.

3. Glue them to the first page to create your own jungle scene.

And that's it. The very last link is the coloring page. If you like this project there is this one and more at http://www.smartypantsfun.com/. Like this blog, they're free to print out.

Today my daughter Maddie (6 years old) called me from her school to say that she had been seriously wounded and needed to come home. She had gotten 2 tiny ant bites. Lol my friend happened to be at the school in the office when Maddie came in with her "wounds" and called me about it. She didn't need to come home or anything, but she loves to play up the illnesses. Especially around chore time. Yeah, we've all faked sick before! I know how that is. It annoys my other kids, especially the older ones that like to point it out real quick that she's faking. "Nice try Maddie, you do this every time!"

But she still insists she's horribly ill....And after chores are done? Miraculous recovery! She's ready to play again. Haha I guess my story about the little boy that cried wolf didn't have as much effect on her as I would have liked it to. Guess I'll have to come up with a new monologue. ;-)

So here's a little craft for boys:

Best Friends Card - Color

Best Friends Card - Black & White

As you can see, it's a card that they can print out, put together, and give to their best friend. It's pretty self explanatory but here are the instructions just in case: 

1.If printed in black and white, color or paint.
2.Cut out main card and fold in half.
3.Cut out “Best Friends Forever Card” and glue to inside of card.
4.Cut out wavy figures and glue one on top of the other, onto the front of the card, without covering up the “Best Friends!” wording. (See Figure Above)

And I wasn't going to put the girl one on here today but I decided that I may as well do it! So here is the exact same card but for little girls:

Best Friends Card - Color

Best Friends Card - Black & White



The instructions are the exact same for this as for the little boy one. There are even more on http://www.smartypantsfun.com/ too if you like these. One for them to make for Dad, and one for Mom, there's a Happy Birthday card and even more. My girl's love them and made a bunch of cards, so your kids are bound to love them too!

Flower Craft and Rocket Ship coloring page

Flower Craft - Color

Flower Craft - Black & White

1. If printed in black and white, color or paint and let dry.
2. Cut out the petals, center, stem, and leaves.
3. Glue the petals to the back of the center to make them into a circle so it resembles a flower
4. Fold the stem in thirds on the dotted line.
5. Glue the stem on the very back of the center and flowers.
6. Glue the leaves to the stem.

Simple enough! If you like these projects, visit http://www.smartypantsfun.com/ to print even more out for free.

Okay so funny story. Last night I let my little 6 year old, Maddie, invite a school friend over. They played and had a good time  for a few hours. About the time that Maddie's friend's mom was supposed to come pick her up, I started undressing my little 2 year old to give her a bath. Just then, the door bell rang so I went to answer it and as I was talking to her mom, my little 2 year old decided to run to the front door. She was completely naked. In shock, the other mom said, "Oh my goodness!" Hahah It didn't bother my toddler in the least to be running around naked.There is almost never a dull moment with her around. :-)  It gave me a good laugh, as well as the rest of my kids.

So I've decided to add a coloring page to this post for those of you with little fellas. Here it is:

Free Coloring Page-Rocket Ship



This one is available at http://www.smartypantsfun.com/ like the Flower one as well. Print it out for free, and let them color or paint. Or print out a few if you have more than one little boy. Just whatever you want.

Hope you all enjoy! Let me know what you think.

I let my nephew view this and give his opinion of it. He's two or three and he was pretty impressed. :-)

My youngest son it 14! So I don't get to spend much time with little boys. Naturally, this made it a blast to see what my nephew had to say.  He's definately a cutie, loves cars and trucks and all things boy. 

I love getting kid's opinions on my projects, and finding out what they like or don't like about them. 

It helps me to know if a project is too time consuming or if it is too easy etc. 

They give me some fantastic ideas! 

So, enjoy:-)

I hope it makes arts and crafts time with your little ones a blast!

I know I have soooo soooo much fun doing it. It can get messy, but it is always worth 

it in the end to see their creativity come out.   



Bumblebee Goal Setter

Girl Bumblebee Goal Setter - Color

Girl Bumblebee Goal Setter - Black & White

Boy Bumblebee Goal Setter - Color

Boy Bumblebee Goal Setter - Black & White

Okay this one is a BLAST! It makes setting goals with your kids allot more fun. 

The instructions? Easy. :-) 

1.First choose a goal to set. (Keeping their room clean for a certain ammount of days, potty training, the options are endless!)

2.If printed in black and white, color or paint and let dry. Everything except for the rectangles.

3.Everytime your child gets a step closer to reaching their goal, let them color in one of the rectangles to help the bee get to the honey hive.

How cute is that, right?

This one makes it fun AND encourages them. It's also good to have a prize for them to receive once they "get the bee to the hive". Great for motivation.

I hope you like it as much as we do. There is one that's all girly, and one for little men.

Enoy! :-)

Sorry I'm a little late getting this one out. I went to the Josh Groban concert over the weekend with my two daughters (Age17 and 20)  We had a blast. His voice sounds like 'smooth butter'  if you know what I mean. And surprisingly, he rocks on the drums. Something I did not know until he played some instrumental only. Anyway above is a Free Printable Purse craft. My little girls love to put candy in it and give it to a friend or put an invitation to a tea party in it and hand it out.  So fun. You can print this Paper bag craft in color sheet format or in color. Instructions are above. You can see all of our free crafts that we make here in the family by going to http://www.smartypantsfun.com/ That is where we are archiving them so you will always have access to past printable craft projects.  We made a khaki green one for little boy and put it on our site too for those of you with little men who love scissors and glue. I'm still pretty new to blogging, but loving it. Hoping to get some more followers, so I can feel cool. So far I have 2 followers. One is my own daughter. LOL. I guess that doesnt really count. But the other is Rachel. Thanks Rachel, for following me :)

My Gift to All you Fab Moms!

Here is my gift to all the busy moms in the world.  Oh yes, we are busy because we have the only job in the world that our regular hours are 24/7 and 365 days per year with no overtime.   Ummmm, actually, no wages at all for that matter. LOL   Pat yourselves on the back for all you do :)  There were several times I went to the computer wanting a simple easy free printable craft for my children that would not require a trip to the craft store for supplies. You know, just something they could cut out, color and paste together. I like to keep them busily while I scrapbook. Yes, doing something more interactive than TV is good. I did find some coloring pages for kids that were only 'OK' and a few free printable crafts, but noticed there is a shocking lack of great printable crafts for kids online. So here you have it. Print this free crafts and let your cutie give it a try. If they like it, we have made a free website you can see them all. We publish a new Free Printable Craft or coloring page every week.
