Printable Landscaping

My boys love building and creating "scenes" for their toys. My 9 year old is starting to be interested in stop motion videos as well which always need a setting. I loved these free printable pages from Mr. Printables that they used to create this awesome waterfall scene. Can you just see little action figures having many adventures here?!

Go check out their site for the free download and the how to!

Calendar of the Month Club

I LOVE this free printable 3-D calendar from Scout Creative.

They put a free download up on their site for each month. Here are some of my past favorites. I thought I'd share now since we're almost into March maybe you can start enjoying them with your kids too!

Here is February 2012

I can't wait to see March (well and the rest of the year for that matter)! Print one out for each of your kids and they can each have their own little calendars!

A Couple more Valentines

A few more GREAT Valentine's have popped up since the last post so I really wanted to share while you still had time if you haven't seen anything that fit quite right.

Printables at One Charming Party

There are quite a few clever ones like this over at Crap I've Made

Simple and Oh so cute from Ambrosia Creative

Parachute Valentines from Paging Supermom

During our last Valentine Roundup a reader "Idahomom" wrote this "My kids are getting goody bags wrapped in cellophane that include candies, shamrock seeds and kids size yard tools with the shovel handle poking out with a tag saying "I Dig You".(We will plant the seeds and hope they sprout by St. Pattys Day)" How cute and creative of an idea is that?! 

Valentines Roundup

Happy February everyone! The picking out of the Valentines is a big deal around here. You have to choose just the right ones. They had LEGO valentines at our Target which were all definitely on the radar for my boys.

Just today The Boy Trifecta posted these LEGO Harry Potter Valentines (my little one's fav)

From Zakka Life - It's Super Valentine!

Heart Breaker Valentines from Dana at MADE

Ball Valentines from Paging Supermom

Tic Tac Toe from Sally J Shim

I "Wheelie" like you from 30 Handmade Days

Some Angry Bird Super Hero inspired Valentines from Big D and Me

Love these Love Bug Valentines by Dandee

And a Rockin Valentine from I Am Momma Hear Me Roar (we're doing something similar this year for my oldest but he doesn't want his picture on it)

Are you doing Valentines this year? Are any of these on your Valentine Radar?

My Interview - Free Printable

Start a new tradition of interviewing your kids each year!

Won't it be fun to see how their answers change as they do? I think a fun way to do this would be to do it while the kids are out of school for the holidays. Once they (or you) fill in their answers attach a photo and slip it into a folder and pack it away with your holiday decorations. Each year you'll have a little time capsule of info. Have them draw a picture on the back. Or they could make a collage of their favorite photos from the year!

Download your free printable by clicking HERE or image above.

HERE is the 2012 version for those doing it in the new year.

Enjoy!

We have a fun DIY toy to share tomorrow! Also don't forget that tonight is the last night to enter the Bead Pet giveaway!

Paper Toys with Paper Clips

I love/hate when I see something and think "Why haven't I thought of that?!" I did just that when I saw Joel's latest post.

(all images from Made by Joel)

He has other dinosaur activities and lots of great pictures on this blog post. But really you could do that with ANYTHING your kid is into and best of all it's so easy and cheap!

It's now Black Friday here in the USA who's been shopping today? I've done some shopping online but no doorbusters for me this year.

Thanksgiving Printables

On Thursday we'll be sitting down with family to eat a giant meal and give thanks for all of our blessings. If you are planning on doing the same and want some activities to keep the kids at the table a little longer here are some printables I've found around the web! 

Paper Glitter has a whole party set with a cute placemat - you could set the whole table with this!

Making Friends has a Thanksgiving Bingo set with calling cards and everything

A cute placemat from Whatever Dee-Dee Wants

Busy Bee Kids has 2 placemats - one for younger and one for older kids!

 

And another cute placemat from Family Fun

And one more from Life:Styled

Or you can always just give them post-its like the genius that is Ambrosia Creative - by the way she just had a beautiful baby girl go wish her a big congrats from the All for the Boys community! She doesn't have all boys anymore! 

Hopefully this gave you a little something to do at the Thanksgiving table. If you have time you could also do any of the crafts we posted a couple weeks ago!
