I’ve been busy, busy this week with lots of time spent at the sewing machine trying to finish up all of my summer projects before our summer trips. One that I’m totally in love with is this Eight Panel Princess Skirt made especially for Fairy. I don’t think she knows how good she has it… …
I have added a USAF Roundel Applique Patch to our Free Appliques Database. This one was not designed to fit on our standard 6 inch squares but instead I made it 7 inches wide to fit nicely across my son’s shirt. Of course you can reduce the size if you would like to make a …
Ok, some of my other projects got derailed this week. Bug has been asking when am I going to make him something. I do tend to sew more for the girls… but let me clarify that he gets his fair share of knitwear. Gammy (Kimara) took it upon herself to stock up on lots of …
So, I guess I have been handed over the reigns over here at Wee Folk Art with mom’s instructions of “feed the fish, don’t kill the plants.” Sounds pretty easy… but what to post about? I do have a couple things I’ve been working on… some summer dresses for the girls, a couple dinosaur quilt …
Today is just gorgeous outside and I wanted to get the kids out to do a big messy project. I was going to have them finger paint at their picnic table but it really needed a good cleaning since it has been outside all winter. Then the brilliant idea of using the bath tub paints we made …
After commenting on the previous post… I decided to pull up some project notes of a seed project Bug did a couple years ago… prior to my blogging. I can’t believe that this was TWO YEARS AGO (he was four at the time). Wow… has time flown. If nothing else, it should make up …
Bug got a fun Digging for Dinosaurs Model Kit for his birthday. He first had to dig the bones out of a block of sand. (WARNING – the sand rocks were EVERYWHERE!) Then he assembled his T-rex and painted it. He had a lot of fun with it!
Today we are going to continue the Paper Mache Dinosaur Eggs project. You can find Dinosaur Paper Mache Eggs part one here: https://weefolkart.com/content/paper-mache-dinosaur-eggs-part-one. After the paper mache dried completely, I cut off the balloon tails. The balloons pulled away from the inside of the egg. You could try to remove the balloon if you …
Next up from the Wee Folk Activities Archives is our Dinosaur Paper Mache Eggs. This time of year everyone is thinking about cute Easter egg projects and you can easily adapt this project to have an Easter flair if you would like. I had comments from readers the last time around that suggested tucking small …
We made some basic pine cone bird feeders this week. We took several of the pine cones we gathered and cleaned this fall, spread peanut butter mixed with cornmeal on each of their scales and then rolled them in shelled sunflower seeds. The older two kiddos each made a couple but as most of …
Welcome to our first Friday Show and Tell. We are hoping that this will become a favorite with our readers and that many will participate by sharing projects they are working on now or have completed. Anyone can join in the fun. You DO NOT need to be a registered member to participate. This can …
Here are some highlights from our Dinosaur learning activities. Pixie reading in the Dino Cave. Bug working on a journal page about T-Rex. One of the Dino puzzles I keep tripping on. Bug making Play-Dough Dinos. Bug learning about how lizards get energy from food. Bug playing with some …
