Here are my favorite posts for this week!

1. I love these Back to School-Themed Crayon Bags from Moms and Munchkins! They’re so adorable for after-school activities or a playdate!

2. We love fall arts and crafts, so the Fall Kids Art with natural materials from Mini Monets and Mommies are just in time for the season!

3. Sometimes I tend to go blank when it comes to planning a craft activity for my kids, so I was excited to read about Kiwi Crate – a monthly craft box club for kids! Check out Middle Way Mom’s review to find out about the program!

4. Learn how you can make some adorable butterflies out of toilet paper rolls, cupcake liners, and pipe cleaners over at In The Playroom!

5. We’re waiting for the leaves to change color down here in the South, and when they do, I’ll be trying this neat trick from Crafty Journal so we can preserve our fall leaves!

6. Art Club Blog shares a cool way to transfer an image onto wood or canvas. Perfect for personalizing a pencil holder or even a book bag!
