Talking Dinosaur Clothespin Craft

Ruby did it again. She came up to me with this darling little dinosaur clothespin craft that she made for Mac. He LOVED it, and chased everyone around with its little chomping mouth. If you missed her last craft creation  click here!

I organized my craft closet last week becuase, after having the kids home for over a month, it was looking a bit worse for wear. We found craft supplies that we had forgotten about, and others that we thought we had lost. Like our clothespins! I KNEW I had a package of them somewhere, but couldn’t find them. Until I finally tidied up.

She had so much fun making this dinosaur that she decided to make a pig too (her favorite animal). You can catch a glimpse of her darling clothespin pig in the step by step video above!

What’s your favorite animal? Chances are you could probably make a cute talking clothespin craft with it!

What Supplies Are Needed To Make A Dinosaur Clothespin?

  • Paper: construction paper or card stock—something sturdy.
  • A clothespin
  • Glue: Hot glue is the quickest, but craft glue works too!
  • Craft Eyes: Optional. You can draw an eye on if you’d like!

This little dinosaur takes just minutes to make so go ahead and make two of them so that they can talk to eachother!

I don’t decorate for Valentine’s Day (still re I don’t decorate for Valentine’s Day (still recovering from Christmas 😂), but I always have holiday candy on hand! This year I filled the jar with petite sour hearts after hearing how amazing they are from @triedandtruemoms. They were right, we are all fans over here! Maybe more places will stock them now that they are in such demand. I ordered mine from @candynationusa (don’t waste your time looking on Amazon. They are charging twice as much for less candy).
These are the real deal, and are easy to make usin These are the real deal, and are easy to make using a cake mix and marshmallow fluff! We may have made them two days in a row after giving quite a few away to friends. 🙌🏻 Recipe is on the blog!

Today we made our favorite green smoothie. It’s all about balance—-just kidding. We all know that’s a lie. I have like 10 healthy recipes on my site and 800 breads and desserts. 😂

Tip: when buying produce, buy extra to freeze. I buy an extra pineapple, an extra package of grapes, an extra bunch of bananas and an extra bag of spinach and freeze them for smoothies. I slice everything up and freeze it on baking sheets then bag it up. It makes it easy to grab a handful to toss into a blender. You can freeze entire bags of spinach too and add a handful to smoothies. I always blend my spinach and water first then add the rest of the fruit. No little spinach chunks in the smoothie that way. 🙌🏻

This cutie is working on a hat for her big brother This cutie is working on a hat for her big brother for Christmas. We love this little set of round knitting looms. A great project to work on during Christmas break. She’s making herself a pink one after Christmas. We bought several colors of bulky yarn at Walmart for $2.97 each. Each skein makes 1 hat. Linked in stories. ❤️

Tomorrow is all about gingerbread cookies for Sant Tomorrow is all about gingerbread cookies for Santa (although the Santa who comes to our house prefers sugar cookies. He can share these with Mrs. Claus). Ruby has them all picked out—-gingerbread boys, gingerbread girls, and ninja-bread cookies. Should be fun. Had to go out and get more molasses and it wasn’t easy to find! Everyone else must be making gingerbread, too!
