Make a Fort - Fort making kits

October 28th 2011 04:16
Forts are FUN.

Forts can also be an inexpensive gift that encourages imaginative play. You do not even have to wait for a special occasion to present this amazing indoor gift, but it does make a wonderful present to bring along to one of the seemingly hundreds of birthday parties your children are invited to over the years.

Pack one for your own children to take along on overnight trips to grandparents, both your child and parents will thank you. If you have the room and temperament, a more permanent solution is described below.

Candy Wrapper Crafts

Candy wrapper crafts

Go ahead, let your child have lots of candy this Halloween. What? Am I crazy? No, but instead of fighting the candy horde, embrace it and use it for good. Let your child eat a designated amount, stash your favorites and then unwrap the rest and store for baking, all the while carefully saving the wrappers.



The wrappers are the real treat this season. Take advantage of after Halloween sales for colorful, and tasty, supplies. Your children can create a slew of fun crafts for holiday gifts this year, make fashionable accessories and gift wrap.

Remember Mod Podge?

September 14th 2011 03:34
Mod Podge is still around, and it is better than ever.

Mod Podge Dimensional Magic can be used in combination with regular Mod Podge to create a clear, hard, raised surface that acts much like acrylic resin, but without the fumes or multiple steps involved.

This makes it a perfect choice for art projects, especially when you want to create with kids. Try the following projects to create something special....





visit your local craft store and revisit the expanded mod podge family

BIG outdoor art!

August 12th 2011 21:22
Really Long Link

Before your kids head back to school, let them end summer BIG. Big backyard art projects are a great way to release some of the anxiety surrounding school preparation. The following projects are more fun when done with a friend or two, besides, containing the mess in one backyard is good for everyone.

Freeze Paint
Another project you probably won't want to tackle once school starts up in the fall, are freeze pop paintings. For this project you will need Popsicle molds, or small paper cups. Fill mostly full with water. Add a tablespoon of dry tempera paint powder and stir well with a craft stick. Popsicle molds have a built-in holder, paper cups will need to be covered with aluminum foil so a craft stick will stay in place as it freezes.

Once frozen, take the paint pops outside to paint on a piece of poster board or butcher paper. The coolness of the paint makes outside art bearable on a hot day.

Best backpacks for a first grader

August 2nd 2011 13:23

Children going back to school have a lot on their minds. Many are nervous about showing up with the right clothes and accessories. The right backpack not only has to be in style, but be functional. It is tough to be cool with a broken backpack strap, or a wonky wheel on a rolling backpack.

J is for Job Jar

J is for Job Jar. This A to Z challenge post does not seem 'fun' at first glance. It is not an art or craft project, not a game or learning toy....but my sixteen year old daughter recently mentioned how much she loved our old job jar.
