Paper plate pizzas is another super easy craft you can do with your kids, and most kids can likely do this one solo!

Color Mixing
I decided to make a color mixing sheet using Microsoft Word to show Melody what colors make when mixed together. This is actually a really fun and semi-mess free “craft”. We have mixed colors beyond the primary colors too. When we do this craft, I let her go through all of my paint and pick all the colors she wants to mix together. We then use q-tips to do the mixing which makes this a pretty clean activity even while using paint!
Fingerprint Miss You Heart
Since we haven’t been able to see our parents in person, we thought it would be nice to mail them a happy from Melody. This only required a little bit of paint, and it was a fairly quick craft!
Painting with Easter Eggs
If you are like me, you now have tons of those plastic Easter eggs laying around this week. Well one thing you can do with them is have your kids paint with them! You can make this as simple or as elaborate as you want. I let Melody pick 4 paint colors. Then we took two eggs and separated them. Then she used the inside of each egg to paint.
Cotton Painted Eggs
One of our projects last week was to paint an egg using cotton balls. Well our neighborhood and entire city really is asking everyone to put eggs in their window to offer people an alternative to hunt eggs. So we actually ended up cutting five more and doing six altogether. I did two myself. Its super easy and doesn’t require anything but paper and paint!
Easter Bunny Canvas Painting
With all of this time at home, we are crafting like crazy! So I have lots of Easter crafts to squeeze in this week for you. This one is a lot easier if you have something like a Silhouette Cameo. Although with some adhesive vinyl and some scissors, you can likely do something similar that isn’t as precise!
Easter Egg Painting Craft
So this is another craft we did during our homeschooling days. It didn’t go quite like I had planned, but Melody wanted to do it her way. And it wasn’t worth the battle, ha! I will explain as I go along as to what I had hoped she would do.
Mickey Canvas Painting
For one of our many Disney trips, I had Melody do this activity to make the countdown to Disney more fun.
Master Suite Revamp
For quite a long time, we have wanted to spend some time updating our bedroom and bathroom. But we have just spent time focusing on other parts of our house. So we decided to finally make the time and update it back in May after Brad being there 10 years and I being there 5.
Snow White Canvas Painting
For Melody’s Snow White Birthday Party, I wanted to add inexpensive but themed decor throughout. I had the idea for her to paint a Snow White canvas painting. I had some big canvases, but I opted to use one of the smaller ones because it would be easier to paint, and it would allow for an easier placement at the party.
Butterfly Feet
For Mother's Day, Brad came up with a cute craft we did with Melody. I didn't really go in to too much detail on my original post, so I thought I would elaborate.
Baby Painting
Painting with a baby isn't easy. Honestly, I have been way to afraid to really attempt it. We tried doing some hand molds at Christmas, and my child refused to open her hands. I know if I put paint on them, she will just lick the paint off. I noticed someone posted this method on Facebook not long ago. With Mother's Day, I decided to make each of our mothers a piece of Melody art. See the mess free method below!
DIY Disney Picture Frames
On our last Disney trip, one of the crafts we did before our trip was paint Disney pictures frames. This is extremely inexpensive (maybe $2 a frame), and it is super easy! We did Mickey and Minnie Mouse but feel free to change things up!
Christmas Crafts: Painting
I love doing crafts, and if I can involve paint that is even better! Below are three different Christmas painting crafts.
