Well, since I did a cheat sheet on volcanoes and I have talked about them a few times, I thought I would give you a how-to on building a volcano. This is actually a pretty fun activity and many kids can take advantage of this when they need a science project in school. [...]

It has been a while since I did a craft project - not related to a holiday - and it is probably about time that I do one again.  This month (since this seems to be an almost monthly occurance)  I thought I would do a little write up on tongue painting with children.
No, you are [...]

With Father’s Day only being a few days away, I thought I should post one more craft to give you a few more to choose from. This craft is great for children of any age and you can actually tailor it to suit the Dad.
What you will need:

A box that can be opened and [...]

I know that every year, hundreds of fathers will be getting something that fathers have been receiving for decades. It’s fast, it’s simple and doesn’t every dad need a tie. I know for myself, I have always tried to avoid purchasing a tie for any occasion (I hate to run with the pack) [...]

Before I get into the post for today, I would like to apologize for the lack of posts over the last few days.  I pinched a muscle in my back and couldn’t sit for any period of time…or stand or anything for that matter.  I am now feeling much better, probably because of the doctor’s [...]

With Father’s Day coming up next month, I thought now would be a good time to get started on posting a few Father’s Day Craft.  I decided that I would start off with a real tear jerker of a gift idea.  This is one that I made for my husband on his second year of [...]

Since Mother’s Day is only a few days away, I thought that I would post one final craft that you can do with your kids. I actually thought of these when I was at the grocery store and I was passing the flower department.  There were small terracotta pots with paint brushes and paint sold [...]

You have probably seen this experiment before but it is one of my favorites so I wanted to share.  If you can’t tell by the photograph, I do this activity often enough to warrant purchasing the big box of baking soda.  I think it has something to do with the fact that I feel like [...]

Ok, after yesterday’s slightly heavy, all right heavy, post, I thought that I would do something a little lighter.  Model making!
If you remember, my son and husband are working on a historical model about Vimy Ridge for a contest the local museum is having.  This is a pretty big endeavor but they are enjoying it [...]

You have probably seen these at countless children’s festivals or even in stores.  Those nice jars filled with colored sand to create a little 3D art piece.  There are actually two ways to make these but I thought I would use the work of art that can be used for a relaxing bath.
What you will [...]
