SNOW GLOBE CARDS + MERRY CHRISTMAS

Merry Christmas! We are getting pretty excited for Christmas around here. Counting down the days, wrapping gifts and eating far too many Christmas cookies. Before we sign off for a few days, we wanted to share this little printable. We kind of are the worst at sending out Christmas cards. I don't think Preston and I have done it once since we've been married! But this year, Elliott wanted to make some for his little favorite people so we came up with these! Aren't they fun? Since it's a little late to send out Christmas cards, these would be great just as a little coloring activity for the kids around the tree. You can see more and download your own over here on Handmade Charlotte. We wish you a very merry Christmas, friends! 

THE SHAPELYS MEMORY GAME

A few months ago Elliott was watching me play around on illustrator and he said "make me!" so I did. I made a shape that had some of his characteristics and added legs. He requested I make more of other people he loves and before we knew it we had a whole family of shapes! Thus, the Shapelys were born. I kind of love them, so don't be surprised if you see them pop up in other projects down the road. It being the holidays and all, I thought it would be fun to turn the family into a memory game! Perfect for stocking stuffers, don't you think? All you have to do is print them out (here), then print the polka dots on the back (here), cut and play. Be sure to print them out twice so you have pairs to play with. You could even laminate them for extra protection from little hands! I hope you love these little guys as much as we do!

Wrap them up with some twine and they are ready for gifting! 

In case you missed it, you can download the Shapelys here and the polkadot backside here.

TRIM THE TREE ADVENT CALENDAR

So we love advent calendars. They get us all excited for Christmas and all of the festivities that come with it! This one is like half advent calendar, part paper chain, and part coloring sheet. Just download it here, print it out, color it, cut it out and trim off a section every day it gets closer to Christmas! Fun, right? I would love to make a giant poster sized one. Wouldn't that be rad?

Easy, right? Have fun trimming your tree and counting down the days!

THANKSGIVING COLORING SHEETS

Remember these erasable coloring sheets? Well, I decided we needed some more! And since it's turkey season, why not make them Thanksgiving related? You can print them out and color them on paper, or you can take the extra step and hard laminate them so the kiddos can color them again and again. Either way, the littles will love them. My favorite is the turkey. So cute and so round. The ship and the teepee were obviously a group coloring effort. Again, fun! Hope you love them as much as we do! You can download all three below.

HALLOWEEN RIBBON TREAT BAGS

These bags are perfect for any Halloween gathering you might have this year. Fill them with candy or caramel corn for an easy party favor for your guests. Or stick them on to a boring sack lunch to make it a little more festive! You can download the stickers here, print them off onto sticker paper, and stick them on! Easy, right? You may recognize three of these little guys, but there's a new addition! I had to make a witch hat. It just needed to be done. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

Again, you can download them here. Enjoy!
