Some people find turtles slimy, but I think they’re adorable! There’s something so calming in their slow pace and overall relaxed disposition – such a contrast to our rushed life!

Bring alive the lovable elephant from Dr Seuss in this Horton Hears a Who Quilled Paper Craft! With a free template, this is perfect for Dr Seuss Day!
I am among the people who’ve given up reading newspapers first thing in the morning. Honestly, I can’t think of a more depressing way to start your day! There’s so much news of people getting bullied and harassed that it’s easy to lose faith in humanity. But when you read a book like Horton Hears a Who, you know that all is not lost!
It’s just amazing when you think that this popular Dr Seuss book was published in 1954, and its content is so relevant today. The Whos are tiny people whose voices can’t be heard, which makes it easy for them to be squashed. But noble Horton stands by them despite what others say. What is particularly endearing about this story is that even the bullies come around in the end and vow to protect the Whos. Now if only that happened in real life!
With Dr Seuss’ birthday coming up and considering the current state of world events, it’s the ideal time to celebrate characters like Horton – with a Horton Hears a Who Quilled Paper Craft. So let’s go ahead and remind the world that a person’s a person, no matter how small!

There’s no fear of pricking your fingers with this Paper Quilled Hedgehog Craft!! Easy fall craft for kids, or to learn about woodland animals.
What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think of a hedgehog? Pretty sure it’s all those spines you’re thinking of, and you can almost feel them prick!

Learn about an amazing sea creature with this paper weaving seahorse craft for kids! Includes multiple techniques of cutting, printing and weaving.
There’s one thing in our home that everyone fights for. No it’s not the morning paper; it’s bubble wrap! As soon as a package comes in, the war for the wrap begins, and the victor enjoys the spoils by sitting and bursting one bubble after another. I can’t explain it, but there’s something so soothing about hearing those little pops!

Bubble wrap projects are fun to make, and today we’re making a paper weaving seahorse craft that uses bubble wrap to make the sea.
Seahorses are fun creatures aren’t they? Did you know that seahorses belong to the Syngnathidae family of fish, which are the only creatures whose males get pregnant? Amazing, right? Here are some more fun facts about Seahorses:
They can move each eye independently of the other
Seahorses are monogamous; they mate for life
With no stomach, seahorses must eat constantly to stay alive
Most other animals avoid eating the seahorse since it is too bony to digest
Okay, that must have got you all interested to start making your very own seahorse. Let’s begin!
What would an ocean be without a monster lurking in the dark? It would be like sleep without dreams.
As kids, we learn about the various continents and oceans, their names and geographical positions. But an ocean is so much more than just a name! It’s an entire world out there, with all kinds of creatures that we know of and many that are still unknown.
However, besides those naturally occurring ocean creatures, new stuff has begun to appear in the water. Plastic bags, bottles and all kinds of trash are now crowding our beautiful oceans, and the main casualties are the poor creatures that depend upon it for survival.
The problem has become huge, and it’s not something that can be ignored. If you’re wondering how you can help, here are some tips. Cut down on your plastic usage and recycle rather than throwing away. Educate your kids about the same and teach them how all this carelessly flung away trash is endangering lives.
Kids may be able to absorb the message better if they know who exactly we’re hurting by polluting our oceans. And that’s why we’ve got together some easy ocean crafts for kids, based on different ocean creatures – whales, sharks, crabs, octopuses and many more! And we’ve peppered the crafts with some fun facts, which will hopefully encourage them to learn more!
