Good morning! With more time at home over the past year, I am always looking for a fun family activity to do with the kiddos that doesn’t involve screen time or video games or watching TV. So, when I came across Allessimo reality puzzle kits, I knew that my kiddos would love them. I love activities that let my kiddos use their creativity & hands to create something amazing! Let me show you how fun getting creative with Allessimo 3D puzzles is for the whole family. :)
2020! Wow! What a year! I’m kind of at a lost at what to say about it! ;) Buuuut over all there were some very good moments this year, and I know we all learned & grew in ways we never imagined we would. Here’s to hopefully a much better 2021. :) Before we move on to a new year, it’s always fun to look back though. I always liked to revisit my posts from the year before moving on to the new year. So, here are my top ten posts of 2020. Thank you so much for supporting Ginger Snap Crafts over the years. I appreciate you! Enjoy! :)

Good morning! How are you keeping busy (& having fun!) as a family right now? I love to keep my kiddos busy (and OFF electronics!). Annnnd the best way to do that is to get them outside. Yay! Today I am so excited to share 10 Fun & Simple Activities for Kids. All of these fun activities are tried & true ones that we have been doing in our family for years. My oldest is in college. Annnnd he can even tell you stories about all the fun we’ve had with just a few supplies that we usually have on hand like white cardstock, craft paper, scissors, googly eyes, glue, string, paper punches & of course, Crayola Sidewalk Chalk and Crayola Washable Crayons. I’m also going to share a tradition we do after a fun day outside using Dial® Body Wash. It’s a fun one! ha! You’ll want to read to the very end of the post for that. :) So, let’s get started!
Today's CRAFTWEEK post is sponsored by DecoArt. Make sure to stop by my Instagram to enter the giveaway! :)
Good morning! It’s Craft Week! We are celebrating National Craft Month with tons of fun blog post, giveaways and more! Be sure to follow Craft Week on Instagram to stay in the loop. :) Today is sponsored by DecoArt, and we were challenged to share a tutorial featuring some their ah-mazing products. I have worked with DecoArt for years, and I love their paint! So, today I’m excited to share this super quick & cute spring craft idea with you. These easy garden markers are perfect for spring. Let me show you how easy they are to make! Let’s get started. :)
Good morning! It’s time for another addition of Craft Lightning! You know those fun & easy crafts that can be completed in 15 minutes or less! This month’s theme is painted rocks. You can find a super fun painted rock book over on Amazon right now from one of our fellow bloggers. Check that out here. :) When I first heard this theme….the first idea that popped in my head was a prayer rock! My daughter & I have been working on some Personal Progress goals for our young women program at church. Annnnnd one of the goals we are working on is to remember to say our morning & evening prayers. A prayer rock comes in super handy for that! ;) I’m also sharing a cute poem to go along with it. So, let’s get started!

Good morning! How is your summer going? Ours has been quiet! ha! My little kiddos are gone this week visiting their grandparents, and my 2nd oldest daughter was at Girl’s Camp all last week! My older three are busy with football, school & work. So, it’s been too quiet! ha! I did want to pop on here really quick to share this cute Be a Light Lantern idea with you. In full disclosure, this was not my idea at all. Our cute camp leaders came up with it. I was asked to design the vinyl for it though, and I thought I’d share the Cricut cut file with you. This is the perfect craft for Girl’s Camp. Let me show you how easy it was to put together. I also have 5 more Girl’s Camp craft ideas. So keep reading! :)

Good morning! It’s summer time! Yay! Annnnd one of our favorite places to go when the kiddos aren’t in school is Pet Supplies Plus. Who doesn’t love a trip to the pet store? ;) We are actually there quite often! We have two sweet kitties who love for us to go there, too! ha! We always save a bunch, and the workers are always so nice & helpful. Last week they even ask to if they could carry my things to the car. :) Today I am excited to share this cute Cat Food Label with you that we made for our cat food storage container & a cute idea for their feed bowls, too. I’m sharing the cut files, so you can make them, too. Annnnnd I’m excited to share some of our kitties favorite treats from Purina® & Pet Supplies Plus. Let’s get started! :)

Gooooood morning! :) It’s a big week at our house. It’s the last week of school, annnnnd How To Train Your Dragon 3 Walmart Exclusive DVD Gift Set is available at Walmart right now. Eek! I was able to pick up our copy yesterday at Walmart. We can’t wait to watch it over & over again. ;) We absolutely love the whole How to Train Your Dragon series, and the third installment does not disappoint! We were able to see the movie in theaters over spring break. It was amazing! Annnnnd I’m sure you’ve heard by now that there is a brand new character ~ a female dragon called Light Fury. I don’t want to give too much away, but there is even a dragon love story. Awwwww! It’s so cute! Well, to celebrate the release, my kiddos decided to make Toothless Slobber Slime. It’s the perfect activity to go along with the movie, and your kiddos will love making it. Let’s me show you! :)
Tip: How to Train Your Dragon apparel & toys are available at Walmart, as well!
Good morning! It’s time for another addition of Craft Lightning! If you’re new here, Craft Lightning is when a group of my favorite bloggers gets together & creates crafts you can do in 15 minutes or less all around a theme. This month the theme is decoupage. Yay! One of my favorite things to work with. ;) I used a little bit of Mod Podge in this fun Clipboard Makeover. Let’s me show you! :)
Good morning! Today it's time for another round of Craft Lightning! Yay! This month’s theme was a little bit unique. We all chose any obscure holiday, & we are sharing a 15 minute craft to go along with that holiday. I did some googling. ha! Annnnd I picked Feed the Birds Day which is apparently always celebrated on February 3rd. So today I am going to share this easy DIY Bird Feeder that me & my kiddos made.
Good morning! The new year is almost here, and before we get to that I always love looking back on what we’ve done this year! I’ve partnered with a few of my favorite craft bloggers to bring you some of our best crafts from 2018.

Good morning! I have used Dial® brand soaps for years. Did you know that they’ve been one of America’s most loved soap brands for 70 years? Recently they have come up with a breakthrough new line-up, Dial Complete® 2 in 1 Moisturizing & Antibacterial Beauty Bar and Dial Complete® 2 in 1 Moisturizing & Antibacterial Foaming Hand Wash. Yep! That’s both antibacterial AND moisturizing. So now, there’s 2 in 1. Yay! It worked great for the clean up after making this Homemade Finger Paint. So, I won’t mind at all when my kiddos want to do this craft over & over & over again. The recipe is easy & the mess is easy to clean off their little hands with Dial®!
A big thank you to DecoArt for supplying the paint for this post! :)
