Last Minute Gift Ideas for Paper Lovers and Crafters

 

Disclosure: I was sent these products in order to provide honest reviews. All opinions are my own.

The last few weeks have been a bit crazy at school. We finished our first semester on Friday. I finally have some time to craft more, but Hazel is also home for break, so a lot of my evening time at least is spent with her. I have four amazing products to share with you that are perfect for paper lovers and paper crafters. They make amazing gifts as themselves or for you to make gifts for others! We will begin with a book that literally is called Book for Paper Lovers: Color Your World by the Editors of Flow Magazine. There is no suggested age on these products today due to them being for adults however this one definitely works for kids who can write and create!

The Language of Birds

 

Disclosure: I was sent an ARC of this book in order to provide an honest review. All opinions are my own.

I will admit that the title of today's book intrigued me. After all anyone who has been following Crafty Moms Share knows I have a thing for birds. This book is not really a book about rather connections for a young bird lover with social anxiety. The book is The Language of Birds by Jon-Erik Lappano and illustrated by Zach Manbeck. It is recommended for ages 4 to 8.

Kloe's New Friendship -- Middle Grade+ Novel About Friendship & Dealing with Difficult Siblings

 

Disclosure: I was sent a copy of this book and stuffed animal in order to provide an honest review. All opinions are my own. I am working with The Children's Book Review and K.M. Selvidge to bring you this post.

They say every family has a black sheep. Do you have someone difficult to deal with in your family? Or maybe you know someone who you wonder what it must be like to live with them? Today we are sharing a book for middle school and up about living with a difficult sibling and friendships. The book is Kloe's New Friendship by K.M. Selvidge. At the end of this post there is a giveaway too! 

DIY Easy Ornaments -- You Can Personalize!!

 

I've been wanting to share this idea with you for some time, but it took a while to find the time to actually try it out. I wanted to play with my Cricut and make some Christmas ornaments. A few months ago, Dollar Tree had its vinyl on clearance for 25 cents a roll. I picked up a bunch of holiday colors and more to play with. Then I got some clear ornament blanks. I got them online. I also picked up some holiday scrapbook paper. With some ModPodge and an Exacto knife, I got to work. 

Christmas Together with Polar Bear and Friends

It is hard to believe that Christmas is only two weeks away!! I've already shared quite a few amazing new Christmas and other December holiday (like Hanukkah and Kwanzaa) books!! I just received a fun Christmas book I have to share. It is from the World of Eric Carle and has illustrations in his style including some of his favorite animals. The book is Christmas Together with Polar Bear and Friends and is written by Bill Martin Jr. and illustrated by Eric Carle, two of my favorite children's book authors! This book is recommended for ages 3 to 6.
