What are some things that make your little artists happy? Is it dinosaurs, unicorns, or the ocean? We hope that whatever makes them happy, you can find a project related to it on our site to make for International Happiness Day.

You can use the search bar at the bottom of the page to find just such a ‘happy’ project! If there is something you would like to request, please contact us on Facebook. Click HERE to go to our Facebook page. We love hearing what your little artists like to make. They have the best ideas!

One of the happiest places we like to visit is the ocean. We learned all about sea turtles on a trip to the ocean, inspiring this cute Sea Turtle craft project.

Children love to play ‘pretend’. Unicorns are at the top of the list around here lately. We designed and made our own unicorn crowns. Your little artist can pretend to be a unicorn, along with reading his or her favorite unicorn story.
