Gorgeously Groovy Tie Dye Art for Kids
Don’t you absolutely love when something that looks amazingly cool is also amazingly simple to create? I certainly do. Don’t get me wrong, we are most often about the ‘process’ over here. Focusing on the experience of creating. But I do love pretty things as well. And this gorgeously groovy tie dye art for kids…
A Puzzle Piece Toddler in a Snowsuit
My kids tend to be losers (wait, that came out very wrong) — My kids tend to lose things (better). My oldest has gotten much better with taking proper care of her things, but my little ones still tend to misplace things daily. It is difficult for them …. I can appreciate this. They are…
Snip Santa’s Beard
My boys are right in the ‘scissor phase.’ They love cutting, and so far we have been able to keep their cutting practice limited to paper. Come to think of it, I may have been asking for trouble introducing this craft to them—but it is so cute! We did this very cute Santa craft and…

Twiggy Jack-o-Lantern
We are still busy outside soaking in every last bit of Fall. I fear saying it aloud, but I really believe we are nearing the end of our Autumn weather. It feels as though Fall has really just started, and yet it is getting dark earlier and getting awfully chilly. All the forecasts I have…
Classic Rhythmic Shaker – with a TWIST!
We made these rhythmic shakers a few weeks ago at a playgroup. The boys have been loving them ever since. I was thinking of which post I would like to write for you, but I couldn’t concentrate due to the spinning and shaking of our shakers. THEN, it hit me (literally – they are kind…
