Looking for some fun and unique summer crafts to do with the kiddos? Me too! School is almost over and I've got summer crafts on my mind! Today I'm sharing this fun twist on a God's Eye weaving craft. (Remember collecting sticks and making those in summer camp?) But, instead of making the traditional 2 stick version, we recently made a fun 3 stick version.... that also happens to look like a tiny baby turtle! (Aww, aren't they cute? My preschooler was in looove with these.) Weaving Cute Baby Turtles Using God's Eye Weaving Pattern This post contains affiliate links. Thank you for your support! For my full disclosure policy, click here. Usually I have a ton of related picture books to share.... but apparently we don't read very many turtle-themed books! (Know of any good ones?) The only ones that I can remember us reading (and liking) are the Franklin books. But, if you're looking for some great inspirational art books to get the creative juices flowing, here are Our current 20+ favorite art books: Colorful Dreamer The Iridescence of Birds Modern Art Adventures Mix it Up Press Here Any Ed Emberley Book The Day the Crayons Quit Beautiful Oops Dog's Colorful Day Too Much Glue Harold and the Purple Crayon Day with No Crayons Artist to Artist Artist Ted The House Baba Built A Blue Butterfly: A Story of Claude Monet Sandy's Circus A is for Art The Artful Parent This Bridge Will Not Be Grey Art Workshops for Children Ok. Let's get to weaving some baby turtles! Let's Weave Some Baby Turtles! First we painted 3 mini popsicle sticks with quick dry solid tempera paint. (I LOOOVE these paints because we can paint quickly and if the baby starts crying and we have to stop crafting... it's not a big deal. There's not much cleanup or setup needed!) Once our paint dried (ours dried in a couple of minutes) we drew on a face and some toes. Then, we hot glued the turtle together. Now we grabbed our colorful yarn and got weaving. First I tied on a piece of long yarn. (I made sure to leave a bit of excess yarn so that I could tie my last piece of yarn with my first piece of yarn at the end.) Then, we wrapped the yarn around our turtle (across the center), making sure to cover the middle portion. (I think I wrapped it around 2-3 times each time.) Ok. Then, we began weaving just like you would with a normal two stick God's eye pattern. We placed our yarn over a popsicle stick, wrapped it around once, and then placed our yarn over the next popsicle stick, and wrapped it around... and kept repeating that over and around process. And to change colors, we simply tied on another piece of yarn. Once we finished, we tied our last piece of yarn to our first piece of yarn. And that's it! I really hope you try this activity with your kiddos too. It's such a fun and easy craft that's sure to please kids of all ages. (When my 4 year old saw me making these, he immediately wanted to make some too. I got the first steps started for him, but he quickly caught onto the "over and around" weaving pattern!) And if you liked this activity, you can find more weaving crafts and more popsicle stick crafts on the blog! Let's Keep in Contact!

Today I'm sharing the most adorable and easy origami craft project with you. It's cute. (Or should I say kawaii?) It's simple to make. And it's fun to decorate! Ta-da! Grab the kids because we're folding these super sweet origami paper dolls! How to Fold Sweet and Simple Origami Paper Dolls with Kids This post contains affiliate links. This means I make a tiny bit of grocery money from each purchase made. Thank you for your support! For my full disclosure policy, click here. Inspired by Spring, cherry blossoms, and my lifetime love with all these kawaii and Japanese, I came up with the design for these little paper dolls the other night. And I fell in love with them. They're so cute!! And here's how you make them! Materials Needed: Origami Paper (I like this brand a lot because there is a variety of colors AND they are not colored on both sides. I've purchased a couple of other types from Amazon that weren't white on one side and that totally bummed me out.) Scissors Random stickers (I love using colorful circle stickers!) Makers (I used Sharpies because they don't smear) Tape Washi Tape (It's time to pull out the collection!) How to fold a Paper Doll Head: Step 1: Fold you paper in half and then in half again to create 4 identically sized squares. Cut out the squares. Each little square will make one paper doll head. Step 2: Fold down one side of the square. (This will be your bangs.) Step 3: Fold both sides in. Step 4: Fold back your two top corners. Step 5: Fold back your bottom side. Step 6: Fold back your two bottom corners and you've got a cute paper doll face! How to Fold an Easy Origami Paper Doll Body: Step 1: Fold the paper along a diagonal. Step 2: Unfold your fold and then fold again along the other diagonal. Step 3: When you open up your paper you should see this. (We did these initial steps to help with a trickier step later on.) Step 4: Fold the paper in half. Step 5: Fold the rectangle in half again to make a smaller square shape. Step 6: Remember those initial diagonal folds we made before? Here's where they come in use! Put your hands into the open side of the your mini square. Push down.... Step 7: Keep pushing down and your paper should collapse into a triangle shape. Step 8: Do the same thing (Steps 6+7) to collapse the other side into a triangle shape. Step 9: Fold up the left and right corners of the top triangle. Step 10: Take your top right triangular flap and fold it over to the left. Step 11: Fold the side of the larger back triangle over so that the slanty side meets the middle. Step 12: Return the flap that you moved in step 10 back to its original place. Step 13: Repeat steps 9-12 with the other side. You should now see this. Step 14: Fold down the two top sides (to make your doll's arms a bit more slender.) Step 15: Now fold the bottom two corners like this to create little paper doll feet. Flip your paper over and you'll see this cute origami paper doll body! Decorate and tape your head and body pieces. If you want, cut slits into your doll's bangs to create paper "hair." And you're all set! By the way, I didn't mention it before, but these paper dolls also function as finger puppets too!
