A photo on Friday, because some times all you need is the photo. Mind you this is not one of those times! But these beautiful marbled Easter eggs were made by Sam at our local Waldorf school, and they are simply too beautiful not to share. The instructions are simple. Hollow out an egg, wet…
A Very Cheery Spring Bunting
What welcomes Spring more than paper towel coloured with markers? Why nothing at all. We made this sweet paper towel bunting over the March break using only paper towel, markers, and water. I love it because it is so simple, it turned out so pretty, and most of all because all 3 of my little…
Making a Town
With the thrill of March, or more so the thrill of the good-bye to February, we have been getting rather creative. We do love to create and explore on any day of the week, but lately we have been getting even more out of the box with our ideas … case and point – this…
Rainbow Craft and Snack {A Photo on Friday}
A photo on Friday – because sometimes all you need is the photo. And maybe a sentence for supplies: We made this cute rainbow snack (and yes, it is a treat, unhealthy, and very unlike me – but it’s February and we are in survival mode!) using a dry spaghetti noodle, fruit loops, and marshmallows. …
Gorgeous Walnut Candles
Winter and candles, a match made in heaven! Well, actually my heaven is more a cool drink and a tropical breeze … but candles in winter are pretty good too. These adorable walnut candles are actually a wonderful hand strengthening craft for kids. And while we did use beeswax, melted crayons would be a fantastic…
Coloring Mixing with Heart Snowball Smashing
Valentine’s Day is either a day of love and romance … or a day you would like to smash things. Or, I suppose perhaps somewhere in between. A few blogging friends and I decided to get together to have some fun with the other side of Valentine’s Day—a little bit of fun with the smashing…
Celery Heart Stamped Valentines
Valentine’s day … a day of love … a day of kisses … a day of hugs … a day of stamping celery into paint and sending the resulting prints to those you love. Sigh… So, with Valentine’s Day just less than a month away, I thought I would share a simple way to make…
Stunning and Simple String Wrapped Snowflake
It is hard to believe that we are well in to January and have had very little snow. We had a week of good sledding, snowman building, and snow fort making snow – and then it disappeared. While my little ones were afraid that was our entire winter – I knew better. And tonight, as…
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…
Fuzzy Santa! Christmas Mason Jar Crafts
Once in a blue moon we will be making a craft, and I will stop right in the middle of it and change direction. Or at least I will try to. You see, I craft with my kids, and they are not always receptive to my impulsive, “Wait! I have an even better idea!” In…
