Learning colors, friendly monsters..and water painting

We had such a busy and fun morning.

We have been working on shapes, numbers and colors.

Today we did an activity on colors.

Using a paper plate, construction paper cut them into squares, and glue them onto the paper plate. I did the same for the clothespins. I made sure to write out each color above each square on the plate. My daughter loved it. We have done something similar to this but with shapes.

Onto our friendly monsters...

A few months back we came across this cute book called, "So many monsters".

We picked this cute book up at Target in the dollar section.

It's about friendly monsters. Monsters who enjoy tea, and those who dress nice :)

Our daughter loves when we read this book to her. She really likes when daddy changes his voice,

and does a silly monster voice. :)

With this book we made some popsicle stick monsters.

We also enjoyed some water painting. Using food coloring and water.

I taped up some easel paper on the back sliding door, and we sat and created some beautiful art.

A busy morning filled with learning and fun!

DIY Floral Wooden Jack‑O’‑Lanterns (Easy Fall Decor)

I’ve been having so much fun creating fall projects this year. These floral wooden jack‑o’‑lanterns started as simple wooden pumpkins, but with a few pretty transfers and some soft paint colors, they turned into the sweetest little fall accents. I love how the florals give them a cozy, cottage‑style feel while still keeping that classic jack‑o’‑lantern charm. They’re quick to make, easy to customize, and such a cute way to add a warm autumn touch to your home. Materials Wooden pumpkin cutouts Floral transfers Acrylic paint (your chosen colors) Gold acrylic paint Green acrylic paint Mini dowels Hot glue gun + glue sticks Small wooden stands Brown acrylic paint Paintbrushes Add the floral transfers I started by placing my floral transfers onto each wooden pumpkin, just arranging them until they felt right. Once they were where I wanted them, I used a little rubbing tool to press them down and transfer the design onto the wood. Take your time with this part — slow, even pressu...
