Summer reading-Ten Apples up On Top! by Dr. Seuss


We have been reading tons of books lately. Today my daughter chose Ten Apples Up On Top, by Dr. Seuss. After reading, I decided we could make a learning activity.

Materials needed:

Craft paper
Laminate sheet (I chose to laminate everything). You don't have to
-Magnetic tape
-Crayons
-Craft paper
-Scissors



Draw a  few apples, and color them. Now you can draw your lion, tiger, and dog. I used yellow craft paper and figured I wouldn't color them. After doing this, add your paper with apples and the one with each character to your laminate sheet.

 Once you have laminated both sheets of paper, cut everything out. When you're all done with cutting each of them out, using some magnetic tape, cut them into small squares.

Apply magnetic tape to each apple and character. We used my daughter's Art easel, which has a magnetic chalkboard. (My husband made it.)



Now that you're done, have some fun counting the apples!
My daughter loved this activity. (I did as well.)


Happy Counting!

Easy Floral Decoupage Idea for Faux Pumpkin Display

 Hi everyone! I'm excited to share a simple and easy floral pumpkin design you can create quickly. Today, we will make a faux floral pumpkin display using decoupage and a few additional designs. I'm reusing a foam pumpkin that I bought at Dollar Tree. If you’re ready, let’s begin creating an easy floral decoupage faux pumpkin display! Quick video tutorial **Materials needed:** - Acrylic paint - Paintbrush - Floral napkin - Faux pearls - Faux flowers - Craft knife - Scissors - Mod Podge Carefully remove the top of your pumpkin. I used my craft knife to go around the top section, creating a hole at the top. Using a paintbrush, apply acrylic paint to the pumpkin. I chose to paint mine black. Next, use scissors to cut out a few flowers from your napkin. Make sure to remove the second layer of the napkin before cutting out the designs.   Once you have your floral designs cut out, use a paintbrush to apply Mod Podge to the pumpkin. While the Mod Podge is wet, add the floral napkin c...

The Crazy Little Lovebirds Link Party 156

Welcome to The Crazy Little Love Birds Link Party #156! I'm so happy you're here! This gathering is all about sharing what brings us joy.  Bring your delicious recipes, fun family moments, cozy crafts, and home projects—basically, everything wonderful you've been working on. Happy Friday! How was your week? I hope you’re doing well.  This week, we finally went to court about the damage to our fence. Honestly, no one likes to go to court, and we would have preferred to resolve this issue privately with the individual involved. He didn't cooperate, which ultimately led us to take him to court. We hope to finally move on from this situation. I can't wait to share the lovely featured posts with you all.  **Update** Looks like blogger has fixed the comment section. Yay! Blogger is having some issues with commenting. It shows "publishing..." when the button is hit and stays there for some time. As always, thank you all for joining! ⭐Congratulations to our featur...

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. Watch the video tutorial 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...
