Spider Web

 I found this free printable Halloween decoration at http://www.canon.com/ . Here is the link to this cool Spider Web. The assembly require a bit patience, but it was worth it! Definitely going back there again))

Tape two sticks together:

Ahoy, Mateys!

Today I'm sharing an absolutely awesome game that both my son and I enjoy - playing pirates and looking for treasure!

I found great free printable at disney.go.com . All you need is just print the desired pages and follow the instructions on how to make crafts. I chose a treasure chest, a pirate hat and a sword. There are also a pirate princess hat and a ranbow wand for a girl.

Don't forget to draw a map and hide the treasure! Have fun!

A little chocolate surprise always makes the game special:

Car tracks.

 My son's great idea on how to expand the car track using LEGO's, tape and paper rolls . It's all started very simple and ended up taking a lot of space. He also likes using marbles instead of cars and it works great! Keeps him busy for a long time too))

Chicken House.

Building projects are not just for adults. Children love to work with their hands and create things they can be proud of. With adult supervision, even small children can use some hand tools.

Here are some pictures of one of our family projects -  a chicken coop. Building together was not just a lot of fun but it also gave us a great feeling of accomplishment.

Little friends.

"Look what I found, Mommy!!!"

It's nice and warm outside and my little boy discovers new "little friends" every other day! I am touched by seing how careful he is with the little creatures, because he usually likes playing with guns, draws monsters and dinos.

Here are some of them:

"Hi baby snail! Are you home? Come out!"

 

Cardboard Playhouse.

Just finished one more house for my little boy to play with! Cardboard boxes, stepler, tape and a little bit of imagination... decorate and make it special.  A great idea that provide hours and hours of active fun and play!

I wanted to make a big house this time, so I planned how to store it ))

Also we made this Little House

Little house.

We made this little house last year. It was a great little house for pretend role-play. Later my son recieved lots of balloons for his birthday and the house from the movie "Up" become a reality!

When the house needed an update, we used coloring pages and then had lots of fun painting it.

Playing with dirt.

Yes, it is okay to get dirty!!!

Originally I planned to make a storage box for my son's creativity projects, but he decided to keep his workbooks in it :)
