Oh, the good old potato stamp—it’s been a while, but we are back at it! I can’t for the life of me remember why we haven’t done this craft in so long. It was so fun, perfect for all 4 of my kids (um… and Mama, too), and they turned out so pretty. Just before…
Colorful Spring Art Project for Kids
This Spring art project for kids is so colorful and fun. I must say – it certainly cheered me up today! You see, I had the false belief that the beginning of spring would be … well … spring like. And so far I have been very disappointed. Today, I was driving home through a…
Make Believe: The Drawing Chef
We do a lot of make believe play at home. Madeline loved it when she was a bit smaller, and Sammy, at the age of three, has just started his love for make believe too. Today I thought I would share an imaginative play activity that we love right now – and it could not…
