This is a fun little recipe [...]

Published by sirenavs under Crafty Recipes, Featured

As many of you know, I am a big fan of playdough.  Usually, I prefer to make a non-cooked playdough since it takes less time and I can make it with my kids.  Sometimes, though; I like to make the cooked playdough since it usually lasts longer than the non-cooked.
What you need:

1 1/2 cup of [...]

Crafty Recipes: Sidewalk Paint

Published by sirenavs under Crafty Recipes

I’m not sure about you, but for me summer means that I will be seeing a lot of time outside, whether I want to or not. My kids love to be outside in the sunshine and will be out playing with just about everything. They will mention, now and then, that they are a little [...]

Crafty Recipes: Paper Mache

Published by sirenavs under Crafty Recipes

I love, I mean LOVE, Paper Mache but unfortunately, my kids do not feel the same. For some reason, they act like paper mache paste is an acid that once it gets on their skin it will begin to burn. I’m not sure why this is but the same kids that hate the feeling [...]

Fun with Science: Baking Soda and Vinegar

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 [...]

Crafty Recipe: Goop

Published by sirenavs under Crafty Recipes

I am a huge fan of goop, not only is it a great experience for children to play in but it also feels great to just let your hands sink into it.  Goop has the wonderful properties where it will run when there is no resistance but add that resistance and it goes hard and chalky. [...]

Crafty Recipes: Non-Cook Playdough

Published by sirenavs under Craft Projects, Crafty Recipes
