Home-Made Stockings

Published by

Looking for a fun Holiday Craft to do? We made these cute stockings from burlap and wool. It’s a very easy craft you can do at home. You could hand stitch them however, we would recommend using a sewing machine as the burlap is hard to sew by hand. We cut out two boot patterns out of the burlap and then sewed them together using the sewing machine. We glued on the wool to the top of the stocking using hot glue. For ours, we left them blank however, we gave the stockings to our Expressive Art class and they used fabric markers and paints to decorate them. It’s a great craft you can do with your kids and the sky is the limit in terms of what you can use to decorate your stockings!

Art Express Day

Published by

Today was our Art Express Day and we had such fun! The children were here from 9am – 4pm, they brought a packed (nut-free) lunch and we served some yummy snacks. We started the morning off with outdoor free play, then we baked delicious chocolate cupcakes, followed by making 3D Plastercine scenes in wooden boxes. Then we had lunch and went back outside for a fun scavenger hunt. After lunch, we worked on another fun craft project and then we made pizza faces for snack time. After our snack we iced our cupcakes and made fondant decorations. We did another scavenger hunt, except this time we were inside. We ended the day off with some dancing in the Seasons Studio. It was a fun-filled day with lots of activities and all the kids had such a fabulous time.

Wreath Making Workshop

Published by

This past Sunday we had an “adult” wreath making workshop and it was lovely! We made wreaths from pine, spruce and cedar and then added pinecones and cranberries for decorations. We also made mulling sachets, which is pretty much a tea bag filled with whole all-spice and cloves as well as dried orange, lemon and ginger. We made mulled cider and ate sugar cookies. The only thing missing from our perfect festive afternoon was snow!
