Gluten Free Pumpkin Sugar Cookies

Gluten Free Pumpkin Sugar Cookies

Gluten free pumpkin sugar cookies are such a fun way to bake up a seasonal treat for your family and friends. I am huge fan of the spice mixed in with the canned pumpkin.  I really want to try this recipe with fresh pumpkin one of these days too. Baking cookies to gift to friends is one of my favorite ways to spread kindness.  Baked treats like these gluten free cookies are great to give to neighbors, teachers, co-workers, friends, nurses and well – really anyone at all. I love using gluten free recipe for school staff appreciation treats because often times there is a teacher who eats a gluten free diet.

Pumpkin Sugar Cookies Gluten Free Recipe #pumpkinrecipe #glutenfreehalloween #glutenfreecookies

Candies on Cookies

If you plan to add candies to the top and you want to be sure that the recipe is totally gluten free, be sure to check the candy that you buy before putting it on the baked cookies. While the mallowcremes are the most decorative, any kind of candy would work with this recipe. There are some good white chocolate bars that could be grated and added to the tops too.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Mix all ingredients together in a mixing bowl with beaters.
  2. Roll into 1 inch balls and place on cookie sheet.
  3. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. until edges golden.
  4. Add candies while still hot from oven.

Packaging the Cookies to Gift

These cookies are delicious and perfect for gifting.  They are pretty sturdy so package well in a little pillow box as well as a bag or plastic container. Hand stamping the packaging for baked goodies is always a really good idea. Making tags to attach to the cookies is super fun and adds such a special touch if you are putting the in a bag or a container.

You can get the stamps to make the adorable family designs from Thermoweb.

The stamps have so many little characters so you can design you own family or group of friends.

Here are 5 Fantastic Reasons to Bake Homemade Cookies!

I love baking. If anyone ever asks me why I take the time to bake and not just go to the bakery for cookies, here are my top five reasons to bake homemade cookies.

  1. Happiness is Homemade.  This little three word saying is plastered all over commercialized products like signs for the kitchen, towels and mugs. It is because it is true. Baking makes me happy and giving away homemade treats makes others happy. This leads right to number two.
  2. Homemade cookies create connections. It is an act of kindness to bake cookies and gift them. Time is a way to measure what matters and them time it takes to bake and deliver really show others how much you care. This is a great way to get your family involved in creating and giving.
  3. Baking homemade allows the ingredients to be 100% controlled.  This is really important when it comes to gluten free diets. It also matters a lot because many of my friends have nut allergies. I like to know what is in the cookie.
  4. Sharing recipes for homemade cookies shares traditions with others. We all have recipes and baking tips that have been passed down to us. Sharing these with others through the act of baking and giving helps keep the traditions alive.
  5. Baking homemade cookies builds a stronger family.  When families bake together, they have the chance to talk and share stories. We make homemade pizzelles every Christmas season and have photos that date back to when the kids were so little helping out. We love to make them and give them to our friends. They are so good. We even have friends who have asked for the recipe. We actually gifted a pizzelle maker to a family we super love. Here is a link to that amazing recipe.

One More Gluten Free Pumpkin Recipe

Gluten free sweet treats that are yummy make my heart so happy. This gluten free pumpkin pie is super easy to make and a great dessert for the autumn season. It is fabulous because it can be made dairy free too!

Quick and Easy T-Shirt Ghosts

Quick and Easy T-Shirt Ghosts

A few weeks ago when Beth and I were traveling through six states and shopping antique stores, I found this little pair of PINK rubber boots and had to have them.  Little did I know then how adorable they would be in a Halloween decorating project for Quick and Easy T-Shirt Ghosts! I make a lot of things and usually love what I create but this project is one of my all time favorites. It is just so dang adorable. The Poly-Fil is the perfect way to turn t-shirts into ghosts and I am going to show you a couple different ways!

Easy Directions to Make T Shirt Ghost Decor

Fairfield World on FOX News Denver

It was a blast to share this project and a few others using Fairfield World products on Fox News Denver.

You can check out the segment and be inspired to make lots of fun Halloween crafts.

Halloween Decor Ideas Shared on FOX Denver

Watch the segment and let me know what you are most excited to make in the comments.  Lots of these are great to do with kids.

 

How to make Quick and Easy T-Shirt Ghosts with Boots

Materials Needed for Boot Ghosts

  • Pair of Boots
  • Foam 
  • Wooden Skewers or Dowel Rods
  • Poly-Fil from Fairfield World
  • T-Shirt
  • Rubber Band
  • Scissors
  • Black Fabric for Eyes
  • Fabri-Fuse Glue from E6000

Directions to Make Boot Ghosts

Start by putting foam into the boots and then inserting the skewers to the foam.

Next, add a poof of Poly-Fil onto the skewers. If you want it to be contained, simply put it in a plastic bag first then stick it on the skewers. This would be a good idea if you are going to put your ghost outdoors.

To make the ghost, rubber band the bottom of a white t-shirt together then flip it inside out. Cut the bottom off of the t-shirt.  For larger ghosts, use larger sized t-shirts.

Add fabric eyes with Fabri-Fuse glue.

T Shirt Ghost Eyes

OUTDOOR TIP – If your boot ghosts are going to be outdoors on a porch, add rocks in the bottom to weight them down for winds and bad weather.

How To Involve Kids in DIY Projects

Do It Yourself projects are a great way to get the kids involved in making decorations. This gives them the opportunity to participate in what their environment looks and feels like – whether at home, school or camp. When kids have been included in the ideas and the creating, they have a sense of inclusion and importance, It is a way to have them learn that their vote counts. 

If you are not aligned with your kid’s ideas for decorations because it’s not your look or style, don’t dismiss them. A good way to empower them to continue to express themselves is to allow them to have a large say in how they decorate their own space (bedroom or homework station). If you want to raise your kids to successfully be able to have a style of their own, it starts by giving them a say when they are little.

Felt Spider Hoop Art Decor

Felt Spider Hoop Art Decor

Spiders are such awesome and amazing creatures. I think that decorating for Halloween with spiders is always a really good idea, especially cute ones like this felt spider hoop art decor. Left over scraps of felt can be tied onto an embroidery hoop for a fun and fringy wreath that is perfect to show off for Halloween!  It’s as easy as 1 – 2 – 3! Let’s make one!

Felt Spider Hoop Art Decor #kidcraft #spidercraft #feltcraft

Supplies Needed for Felt Spider Hoop Art

Instructions for Felt Spider Hoop Art Decor

STEP ONE

Gather all supplies.  Remove the label from the embroidery hoop. Loosen the screw at the top of the hoop and separate the inside hoop from the outside hoop. Tighten the screw back up. Use one piece of the hoop now and save the other for another project.

STEP TWO

For this project, use the 9″ width of the Felt Craft Cuts.  Make a stack of bits and pieces that are big enough. Randomly cut the scraps of felt into strips, some skinny and some fat, with scissors. For this 4″ hoop you will need approximately 50 strips.

STEP THREE

Start tying the strips of felt around the embroidery hoop in double knots. Use the 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock marks as a starting point. Continue working around the entire hoop, pushing the strips together to get as many tied on as possible.

The more scrap strips tied onto the hoop the fluffier the wreath will be.

STEP FOUR

Wrap black chenille stem around a pencil then slide off to reveal a coil. Repeat with remaining black chenille stems to create the spider’s legs. Cut a strip of black felt approximately ½” wide, trim the strip into 16 squares, and then into 16 circles. Glue two circles to one end of each coil, sandwiching the chenille stem in the center. Repeat with remaining felt circle pairs and spider legs.

STEP FIVE

Flip the hoop to the back. Take one black scrap strip and fold over the screw, so that the tails are hanging down into the center of the hoop. Attach two large wiggle eyes, one on each tail with a glue gun and glue sticks. Trim excess black felt from under the eyes.

STEP SIX

Add a ribbon bow to dress up the spider and use twine as a hanger.

25 DIY and Crafty Classroom Halloween Party Ideas

25 DIY and Crafty Classroom Halloween Party Ideas

Classroom parties create so many great memories for students, parents and teachers. Celebrating the seasons and creating activities that are engaging is easy to do because kids love to make and try new things. Having Halloween activities be educationally sound is a good idea too.  Most craft projects require working on fine motor skills and using the imagination. Lots of these projects and ideas can be connected to books and literature too so that is a win. Pretty much everything here requires some sort of skill — from counting and measuring to reading and following directions. I hope you find a craft or snack that works for you.
