Bumblebee Preschool Math Printable

My preschooler recently had her Kindergarten orientation. She beamed from ear to ear as she entered the Kindergarten room, so excited about getting to be a big Kindergartner. At the orientation the teacher talked about all the things they would be learning in Kindergarten and what things they should be working on at home to get ready for Kindergarten. My daughter came home and expressed how she wanted to work on math "so she could be extra smart for Kindergarten." I just love her! I combined my daughter's love for stickers with cute bees and addition facts and put together this fun bumblebee preschool math printable for my daughter to work on her simple addition facts.

Colorful Newspaper Snail Craft

Ever since we made our colorful owl craft last month, we simply cannot get enough of watercolor painted newspaper. I love how I can set out the newspaper and watercolors for my daughter one afternoon for creative play and then the next day we can turn her pretty colored newspaper into something creative like this colorful newspaper snail craft. It is such a happy and cheerful craft, perfect for beautiful spring time!

Marbled Art Earth Day Craft for Kids

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Huggies® because “Kids Outgrow Diapers, Not Messes™”. As always, all opinions are my own. We hope you enjoy celebrating Earth Day with your kids by making this Marbled Art Earth Day Craft.

If I had to choose a favorite type of mess it would definitely be the kind that comes along with crafting. I figure if we’re going to make a mess, why not create a piece of artwork and some fun family memories while we’re doing it, right? One of my favorite messy art activities is marbled shaving cream painting. Have you tried it? Since Earth Day is just around the corner, we decided to hug the messy side of crafting this week and made this gorgeous marbled art Earth Day craft. Don’t worry about the mess though because we have Huggies®Wipes on our side today, so I’m going to show you how to help contain the mess while making this fun family art activity!
