For this craft you will need cardstock, leaves, liquid glue, and a scissor. You also will want something for a stem and vine, and you may use string, brown paper, or just color it. We used leftover packing material for ours.

Gather some leaves and be sure they are dry. Cut a pumpkin shape out of your cardstock. Arrange your leaves and stem materials on your pumpkin to decide how you want them to look. Then glue everything down.

All you need for this craft is water biodegradable packing peanuts. These packing peanuts dissolve in water. You will use the packing peanuts and by dabbing your finger in water and lightly rubbing the end of two packing peanuts, you can get them to stick together without fully dissolving. If you would like to sculpt animals or figures, you may want to add details with markers. Have fun!! If you want to make your sculpture disappear, just add water!

Carry these hearts with you to keep worries at bay. This craft is especially useful for the first day of school, but can be used for any time! It would also make a heartfelt gift! ( no pun intended!) There are a few different ways you can use this project and feel free to customize it to your liking.

Worry hearts work as a tangible thing that your child can hold on to when they are nervous to help relieve their anxiety. It is a great tool to have with them. Whenever they feel they need a boost of encouragement, all they have to do is pull a heart from their bag and either hold it in their hand or put it in their pocket.

The heart shape reminds them that they are loved even when they can’t be close to you. When filling the bag, you can tell your child something you love about them for each heart as it goes in.
To make:

You will need a scissor, felt, glue, a small pouch, and any glitter or markers you would like to add extra enhancements to your bag or hearts.

Cut different-sized hearts out of the included felt. You can fold it in half and cut to get the most even shaped hearts. If you would like to decorate them further, now would be the time to do so.

Save one heart and glue it onto your bag. Decorate the bag any way that you wish. Once the hearts are dry, place them in the bag. As mentioned above, you could tell your child something you love about them for each heart as you put it in the bag. Send the bag with them, and they can grab a heart when they need!!!

It’s almost back to school, so this week we are doing a fun surprise take-n-make. Each kit has a sensory activity inside! But it is a surprise!!!

For this craft you will need a scissor, glue, markers, white paper, cardboard, string, and something sharp to poke a hole.

First, either print the template below, or trace something round to create two circles on the white paper and one on the cardboard. Decorate the white circles. Then cut all of the circles out. Glue a decorated circle on each side of the cardboard, so the designs are showing on either side. Then, poke two small holes in the middle of the spinner. Run your string through the holes and tie the ends in a knot. This means that the string creates a loop and it runs through the holes of the spinner. (see picture).

To use the spinner, take a piece of rope in each hand with the circle in the middle and go in circles to get the rope twisted. Pull-relax-pull-relax on the string to watch the spinner twirl.

You will need the printout below (or white paper and a marker to draw your own), a scissor, glue, and crayons. Print out the sea otter parts provided or draw your own. Color them and cut them out. Glue them onto your paper bag to make a puppet!

For this craft you will need an egg carton, markers, white tissue paper, white paper, a scissor, and liquid glue.

First, cut out a cup from the egg carton. Then take your tissue paper and cover the egg carton, tucking the extras up underneath. Then draw on the face of the bunny. Next, cut out two ears and decorate those, gluing them on the back. Let dry.
