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 [...]

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:

As I have mentioned in earlier posts, my son and his dad are making a model together for a contest that is being put on by the local museum. The model that he chose to do was the Battle of Vimy Ridge and in particular Hill 145.

We all love play-dough and all the different objects that you can mold with so I decided to add another recipe to my already growing recipe list.  Having lots of alternatives for play is a great way to keep children interested in the activities that you set out for them. 
Cloud Dough is interesting in shape [...]

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 [...]

I know that Mother’s Day is still a month away but it can take some time to decide upon (or create) the perfect gift.  I wanted to give everyone a chance to get started or to have a few options to choose from so I will be putting up a craft each week until Mother’s Day. 
 The first [...]

I have been in a spring mood for the last few days and it is a very good thing since spring is after all upon us.  I have purchased my daffodils from the Canadian Cancer Society and they are sitting on my desk at this very moment, filling the air with their sweet scent and [...]
