Quick Curly Tailed Felt Mouse

 
This a quick way to make a little felt mouse, or many little felt mice. I used black felt, 2 red beads for eyes and thin wire inserted into the tail so you make it stand up.

Spooky Little Graveyard Tin

Magnetic Monster Mash

We are so excited for October. The leaves are falling, the air is cooler, and best of all, we can decorate for Halloween!

We are also thrilled to have 2 Halloween crafts featured in the latest copy of  Kids Crafts 123.

Miniature Ouija Board

Tiny Cryptozoology Worlds

Cryptozoology, broken down literally, means the study of hidden animals. Some of the legends of  Cryptozoology include the Sasquatch (Big Foot), the Yeti, and the Loch Ness Monster! There are so many more creatures that can be included in this category,(and oh, we may get to those too!)  but these guys always hold my attention.

So, how appropriate to take these "hidden creatures", and create your own little hidden worlds for them, small enough to carry in your pocket.

Mini Halloween Masks

I love the look of vintage paper masks, so I thought our dollhouse family would 

probably appreciate some too.

I just drew my own, and added the color in Photoshop. 

Miniature fall scarecrows

As Halloween approaches, our family usually visits a pumpkin patch or a harvest fest or two, and for the past 4 years we have made a scarecrow with the kids. This year we missed out on our harvest fest. due to rain, and did not make the annual scarecrow.

Gumball Dome Pumpkin Treat Basket

Here is a quick project to get your dollhouse ready for Halloween next week. Take a plastic gumball dome, paint it orange, and glue on a thin strip of black felt for a handle. Use a black permanent marker to make a face. that's it!
