If you're done with frantically browsing the internet at 10pm looking for something "crafty" to do with your preschoolers tomorrow so they're not watching screens for hours... then you're in the right place.
or maybe you're sick of spending your evenings tediously cutting out 25 elephant shapes for tomorrow's art lesson, instead of reading that new Colleen Hoover book that everyone is talking about...
I get you.... You just want your kids to have fun, get creative, and make something they're proud of... without all of the extra work of coming up with and preparing a new craft every week.
Spend more time doing things you love and less time prepping crafts
I'm here to tell you that You're not doing anything wrong - there's just a better way
You see, those "pinterest-worthy" crafts that use washi tape, glitter glue, and size 4 coffee filters were created by a PTO mom with one kid, TONS of time on her hand, and who loves dressing her kid to the nines (and probably her dog too).
You need go-to adorable crafts that only take a few minutes to prep and use three whole supplies (construction paper, scissors & a glue stick).
Introducing:
52+ Craft templates that are super easy to prep and make adorable crafts
*This is a digital ZIP download, you will not receive a book in the mail.

Welcome to the club. I'd so rather hold a pretty binder full of templates in my hand than scroll through a PDF. But the truth is, then I would have a HUGE bunch of papers, and I'd have to take them out of the binder to photocopy them, and I'd either destroy the original or lose it because I forgot to put it back.
With the PDF, you just print as many copies as you want. And you never mess up the original. It's always one click away. Also, this book was designed for the templates to be printed and stapled to construction paper...read all about it in the section above.
As soon as you complete your order, you will see a "download now" section and an email will be sent to you with a download link - Click on either one. The eBook is actually a large ZIP file. You will want to save the Zip file to your computer, right-click and select, "Extract All" (Windows) or double-click (Mac). This will create a new file on your computer in which you can open. If you need to get the files onto your mobile device, add the file to iCloud or Dropbox, or simply email it to yourself. If you need extra help downloading the file, read this Download Help Page.
Ok, that stinks, but I do have some answers: 1. You can take the PDFs to a local print shop (like Staples or Office Max) and they can print it for you 2. This sounds crazy but it works.. You can open the PDF on your computer, browse to the template you want, and then tape a piece of paper to your monitor. Then, you can TRACE the template onto paper. Now you can staple it to the construction paper and cut out lots of shapes at once.
The great thing about craft templates is that the craft comes out looking the same every time. Just print it, and cut out the shapes. The included step-by-step instructions will show you how to make the craft look great.
Not many...Every craft in the book is made out of construction paper. So you'll need paper, a glue stick, scissors, and sometimes markers to draw on details (like a face). There are a few crafts that use cotton balls or pipe cleaners, but those extras are always optional. After you purchase, check out the complete supply list on page 8 in the introduction.
Great news...The bonuses are tucked right in with everything else. When you extract the ZIP file, you will get a folder called "A Year of Crafts". Inside that folder is another folder called "Bonuses". That's where you'll find all of the goodies.
How Many Copies Can I Make?
As many as you need! These pages are designed to be used again and again. Just buy it once and use it for years to come!
