I just love fall, from the colors (autumn colors look very good on an Irish redhead) to the excitement of starting a new school year to that cozy feeling of sliding on a sweater and pair of jeans for the first time in months. Here […]

Today you’re going to learn a really easy kids’ activity that’s a double whammy: it’s a craft that doubles as a homemade toy. When my kids were younger, they were constantly putting on shows and making videos. (Mostly it was just my girls, but sometimes […]
One of my daughters was absolutely obsessed with mermaids — particularly Ariel — when she was 5 and 6 years old.
We would go to the park and “play pretend” with her little sister being Flounder and me being Ursula. (Yes, I am one of those moms who plays with her kids. I’ll let you decide whether or not that’s a good thing.)
My in-laws gave her a toy like this for Christmas, and the girls called it “Ariel’s Grotto.”
If you know a little girl who has a similar love of mermaids, you can either make this simple mermaid doll for them, or you can do it together. (I suggest doing the latter.)
If you like, you can attach craft popsicle sticks to the bottom and turn your mermaids into puppets.
We chose to make an “Ariel-style” mermaid, with off-white skin, orange-red hair, purple top, and green tail. But certainly don’t feel limited those colors. Your mermaid can look any way you want!
