DIY Galaxy Flowerpot

There's so many creative ways to paint a flower pot, like nail polish marbling painting with spray paint, or covering it in glitter!. I'm all about the galaxy trend happening right now, so it's no surprise that I whipped up some DIY Galaxy Flower Pots to match my DIY Galaxy Coasters and DIY Galaxy Shoes! These are easy to make, and are a fun way add some sparkle to your home, or give out for Mother's Day.

Tell your favorite teacher how much you appreciate them with this free printable Teacher Appreciation Gift Card Holder!


Teacher Appreciation Gift Card Holder

After asking my husband and all of my teacher friends what their favorite gifts have been, the top two gift ideas were personal notes from students and money/gift cards. I decided to combine the two gift ideas by creating this printable gift card holder that also has a place for kids to add their favorite things about their teacher and memories in the classroom. It is such a fun and creative way to say thank you to those teachers who work so hard to teach our children!

Looking for the perfect teacher gift? Make a customized sign that the students can autograph!


Student Autographed Sign for Teacher Appreciation

Teacher Appreciation week is coming up, and I am always looking for cool gift ideas to help fellow parents like myself to thank the hard-working teachers out there. When I asked my husband what some of his favorite gifts have been in the past, he said the most memorable gifts have been notes and drawings from the kids themselves. This year, I put together this unique Teacher Appreciation sign that can be autographed by the entire class! It's a simple project, but I think it will be such a special way to say thank you to your favorite hard-working teachers.

Make DIY Kinetic Sand to play with at home using ingredients you probably already have!

DIY Kinetic Sand

Kinetic Sand is an amazing way to keep kids entertained and is perfect for those with sensory needs, like my daughter who has ADHD. This kind of sand can be expensive, so I figured out a way to make it at home for a fraction of the price! Kids of all ages will have so much fun making their own sand in a variety of colors. This is also a creative STEM project you can make as a class or for homeschooling.
