Home staging is the key to getting a top dollar price for your property.  This printable home staging form can help you get your home staged to sell and quickly. A step by step guide to getting your home ready to sell ASAP! Download and print our free home staging worksheet to help you get your house in tip-top shape.

Home staging is so important when it comes to your home’s resale. Eighty-two percent of buyers’ agents said staging a home made it easier for a buyer to visualize the property as a future home.

Looking for a home staging checklist? Look no further!  I’ve put together this Home Staging printable PDF that can help you get your home staged and ready to sell. Sure, you can hire a professional stagers, but with this list, you’ll be able to do it all yourself!

Here are a few tips for staging your home, so that it can sell.

Make a Good First Impression

The first stop on the home staging checklist is to make a good impression. Start in a room and take a slow look around. For example, this includes things like checking the door entrance to ensure the door doesn’t have any damage, painting the front door, and making sure the doorbell works and so on. Make sure you check out these home staging ideas to make your home staging process so much easier.

Take a look at your…

  • Front Porch
  • Garage
  • Foyer
  • Living Room
  • Bedrooms
  • Dining Room
  • Home Office
  • Master Bedroom
  • Bedrooms
  • Bathrooms
  • Closests

Walk through each of these spaces and and take a look around as if seeing it for the first time. A friend can come in hand with this process. Real estate agents will often do a walk through with home sellers, as well. They want top dollar and a successful home sale too!

Do the Repairs

The next part of the home staging checklist includes doing the repairs. This may be the hardest part to get motivated to do, but it’s worth it! Do your best to accomplish DIY tasks. Eliminate the home staging services and save the harder tasks for a handyman.

  • Use Mr. Clean eraser to eliminate stains on the wall, stairs, sinks, tubs, etc
  • Paint walls and touch up scratches
  • Replace bad lights in light fixtures
  • Replace personal photos with discounted artwork

Buyers don’t want to see things like leaky faucets, cracked tiles, or damaged walls. Fixing these things can make a big difference in the appearance of your home and can potentially increase its value.

Depersonalize the Space

When potential buyers come to look at the house, they want to envision themselves living there. This can be difficult if your space is filled with personal items like family photos or memorabilia. Part of the home staging checklist involves depersonalizing the space by removing these items and creating a more neutral, inviting atmosphere.

Download the Home Staging Template PDF

These are only 3 tips out of 12 (plus extra tips) to help you through this process. Sometimes a checklist can really help you get more done, faster! Knowing that everything is listed that you need to do.

Become your own home stager with this handy checklist. From the windows to the walls, this budget-friendly printable resource will eliminate the professional home stager and put the resources in your hand.

Download the printable Home Staging template PDF and get started on selling your home.

Home Staging Template Printable

What is the 3 foot 5 foot rule in home staging?

The 3 foot 5 foot rule states that when walking through a room, every surface within 3 feet and 5 feet of the floor should be clear and free of clutter. This includes shelves, countertops, tables, floors, etc. By eliminating the clutter, your home’s best features will pop – that cute corner, that amazing arch, those roomy walk in closets, that bright window…!

Rent a storage container for a month. Grabbing something like a POD can be quickly filled in your driveway. The pod is picked up and your stuff can be sent directly to your new home. Doing part of the moving of furniture and things yourself mgiht even save on moving expenses.

What should you not do when staging a house?

  • Do not leave personal items on display.
  • Do not leave pet items or odors in the house.
  • Do not use overly bold or bright paint colors.
  • Do not leave unfinished projects or repairs undone.
  • Do not leave outdated or worn furniture and decorations.
  • Do not neglect proper lighting and cleanliness.
  • Do not forget curb appeal and the exterior of the house.
  • Do not neglect to stage all rooms, including bathrooms and kitchens.

How do I prepare my house for staging?

  • Declutter and deep clean the entire house.
  • Make necessary repairs or updates.
  • Remove personal items and excessive knick-knacks.
  • Arrange furniture in a way that promotes spaciousness and functionality.
  • Enhance curb appeal by tending to the landscaping.
  • Use neutral, inviting paint colors, and decor.
  • Ensure good lighting throughout the house.
  • Stage all rooms, including bathrooms, and kitchens.

Small tips include add  a new and clean welcome mat. Hang a few fresh towels. Open blinds and curtains for natural light.

The next time you’re looking for help on selling your home, this home staging checklist is a huge task helper! You can do it yourself and save money, but still make a great impression on potential buyers. With these tips, you won’t forget anything, which will help you easily sell your home in no time.

Everyone knows that the holiday season wouldn’t be complete without the Nutcracker Ballet! This Printable Nutcracker Activity for Kids is so much imaginative fun. Not only can they print out the various Nutcrackers scenes, but they’ll have the printable paper dolls to go along with it, as well. When it comes to Christmas Placemats Activities, adding this printable Nutcracker scene activity to the table might be the perfect holiday addition. 

cute nutcracker printables christmas activity set for kids

Part of getting excited and ready for the holidays is thinking about all the Christmas classics from the past. Since The Nutcracker Ballet is one that everyone loves and knows, it just makes sense to have fun activities surrounding that theme!

What I love about this holiday printable activity is that it’s a great way to get the kids active and involved. They’ll love being able to turn the pages, change the scenes, and have the paper dolls be a part of the fun.

They could even have their own Nutcracker theater and put on quite the play! Have everyone in the family gather around and sit down to watch the show. It’s truly magical to see the excitement of Christmas through the eyes of the kids!

If you’re looking for fun Christmas activities, look no further than this printable Nutcracker scene. It’s a fun place-setting idea, a great interactive activity, and a fun way to get everyone excited for the holidays.

How does this printable Nutcracker activity work?

christmas crafts printable nutcracker activity set for kids

It’s as simple as printing out the pages and then piecing them together to make fun scenes from The Nutcracker. The paper dolls can be used on every page to make the story come to life.

Once it’s put together, there are parts and pieces that can be moved around and used differently throughout the rest of the printable set.

This is where creativity and imagination come into play and makes it super fun to use over and over again. Flipping the pages and having the paper dolls in various different scenes is a simple way to make this Nutcracker idea and activity unique and different every time.

Can this nutcracker printable be used by one person?

You bet! It’s a super fun activity for one or multiple! All you have to do is print, and then whoever wants to join in on the fun can absolutely do so. This is a great way to imagine and then make it happen, which is what little kids love to do!

I do recommend that there be a part of adult hands to help out with the little hands in making and putting this together. Adult supervision and help are always welcomed. (plus, the bonus of creating it together is an awesome memory!)

Supplies

  • Printer
  • Small, sharp scissors
  • Glue or glue stick
  • Cardstock or printer paper (I love this set!)
  • Laminator (this is optional – but I love laminating my stuff!)
  • Ruler or straight edge
  • printable Nutcracker arts & crafts activity pack on nine template sheets

What’s included with this Nutcracker theater scene printable?

cute printable nutcracker set

In this Nutcracker printable pack for kids, there are:

  • printable scenes
  • printable directions
  • paper doll printables

Use this for fun Christmas Decor for Your Home or a great way to get the kids to have imaginative and creative play ideas as well.

This would also be super cute to have on the holiday table as a unique centerpiece or even a fun place mat on the kid’s plates to give them something to do with their hands while they’re waiting for dinner.

How to create a Nutcracker Travel Set

Perhaps while you create your christmas craft, turn on Youtube the classical music from the Nutcracker by composer Tchaikovsky. This might give you a little inspiration and Christmas cheera s you make your Nutcracker traveling set.

how to make nutcracker travel set

First, download and print your printable nutcracker activity set. If working with preschoolers or toddlers, have older children or adults guide them through the activity. We find cardstock works great but printer paper is just fine.

To begin, use the ruler and back blunt edge of your scissors to score the two dotted lines of Page 1. Fold both of the lines inward to form the base.

Next cut out the flap from page 2. Use the ruler and back edge of your scissors to score the single dotted line. Fold this line back.

Place the flap over the right, short edge of the base. Glue the underside of the flap to the front, outside, folding it over the base, forming an envelope.

Open the base up all the way with the white side up on a flat surface. The flap should be on the right.

Cut out the two pockets from page 3. Score along the dotted lines of each envelope and fold these inward.

Apply glue to the flaps and adhere each pocket to the bottom left and bottom right of the base. Line the edges up with the outside edges of the base page.

Next, cut out the top and side curtains from page 4. Score the curtains along the dotted lines. Fold the flaps back.

Apply glue to the flaps of the middle curtain and glue it to the top of the base, carefully centering it in the middle, about I/8th of an inch from the very top edge. After the middle curtain dries in place, flip it up.

Now, glue the two side curtains in the same manner, lining them up along each side edge of the base page. Set aside.

Cut out the three stage scenes Prom pages 5 – 7. Fold each scene in half, carefully folding, then creasing them down the middle.

Glue the back right of scene 1 to the back left of scene 2. Next, glue the back right of scene 2 to the back right of scene 3. This will create a small booklet of scenes.

Next, open up all curtain flaps. Glue the backs of the booklet in place, carefully centering it between the two side curtains and about I/16th down from the top curtain flap fold.

To change scenes, open the three curtain flaps, turn the booklet page, then place the curtain flaps back down into place.

printable nutcracker scenes

Cut out all dancers and decorations. These items don’t have to be cut exactly. It’s Pine to leave some white space around the edges. Categorize the items and place them into the correct envelopes, Dancers or Decorations. (These would be fine laminated if you want to keep them in good shape.)

Now carefully fold the Nutcracker Kit in half. Use the flat end of your scissors or the end of a ruler to re-crease the folds so they are sharp.

Finally, cut out the long band and decorative sticker from page 2. Starting at the center front, hold the end in place, then wrap the long band all the way around the short width of the base kit, creasing the band as you go.

Apply glue to the back of the decorative snow-flake sticker to connect the band in the front. Make sure that you only glue the band together. Don’t glue the band to your base!

Enjoy your entire land of sweets travel kit during the Nutcracker season.

The best elf pranks

Coming up with new Elf on the Shelf prank ideas looks different for every family. Just like families, elves differ. They can have different personalities, they can come in sets of one or more, they can even look differently.  Elf differences are especially true when it comes to an Elf’s personality. An Elf on the Shelf can be naughty or nice (or a little bit of both!)

Is the Elf on the Shelf Naughty or Nice?

Let’s be real. The Elf on the Shelf promotes nice behavior from your son or daughter but sometimes the Elf on the Shelf’s antics can be quite naughty. From an Elf mess to an Elf wrapped in toilet paper, it’s sometimes frustrating trying to explain why the Elf on the Shelf is naughty.

If your family finds themselves with a naughty Elf on the Shelf, you can explain Elf mischief by comparing the Elf to Amelia Bedelia. As a millennial parent born in the 80s, I found this explanation easy when describing the beloved character I grew up with. Explain that the Elf on the Shelf means well but sometimes they find themselves in silly situations that did not go as planned. For example, your Elf might have had the intention of making your child a cup of hot cocoa but instead filled the bath tub with hot chocolate and mini marshmallows instead. Another example of a naughty elf with good intentions might be told that beauty sleep means applying make-up. In this case, in the night they might apply make-up to a family members face.
