Making a print with sun sensitive paper is a very simple and fun way to introduce your kids to the idea of photographic paper and how chemicals and light can create a print on paper. We've just started a study of photography in our homeschool, and I wanted to give my kids a hands-on experiment to demonstrate how to create prints with sun-sensitive paper.

There are many reasons that we may want to put little art projects aside. My most frequent excuses are "we're too busy," "we didn't even finish our math lesson today," and "I just cleaned the house - we're not about to mess it up again." It wasn't until I firmly decided to do art no matter what, that I realize all of my excuses were simply that - excuses. Art doesn't have to be time-consuming and messy, and it's just as important as math. It can be as simple as rock painting, a beautiful pairing of nature and creativity. We used...

Some of the greatest magic in our homeschool comes from art. Recently, as part of our Homeschool Picture Study, we've been reading about George Seurat and exploring his art. He was instrumental in pioneering the style of art called Pointillism, so we wanted to learn a little more about this style of painting. We will be sharing our pointillism-inspired art projects for children of all ages, from pre-school kids up to homeschool Moms and Dads, who want in on the fun. Our family follows the educational philosophy of Charlotte Mason who never advocates simply copying the artist's work, but we...

When it comes to commercialized holidays, I like to go against the tide. Now, I won't lie, I absolutely appreciate flowers or a thoughtfully written card. And let's be honest, I'll never refuse diamonds. I'll probably even eat the sub-par chocolate because I have a problem that way. But what's the deal with over-priced teddy bears and crowded restaurants? Definitively not my cup of tea. This year, we decided to skip the commercial route, and did things a little differently. Together with my kiddos, we are making simple DIY gifts that we would all love. We settled on essential oil- infused...

Happy Valentine's Day, Friends! For some random reason this year, my children have become obsessed with Valentine's Day. For weeks now, they've been asking me, "When is it Valentine's Day, Mommy? When is it Valentine's Day?" They never mentioned a reason for asking, but I started to think that maybe I needed to step up my game a little to meet their expectations. This usually involves crafting, so we decided to make some Love Bug Essential Oil Diffusers for ourselves and our friends. Our Love Bug Essential Oil Diffusers are super simple, made with some clothing pins and pom-poms. I found some wide clothing pins...

Anyone here a fan of Valentine's Day? I stink at Valentine’s Day. I never know what to give my dearest husband, so his gift usually ends up being some awkward card. My kids, on the other hand, spend weeks creating all manner of Valentine’s Day crafts. I’m sure the intention is to give them to my husband and I on Valentine’s Day, but they never even remember to. I’ve seriously considered doing the same thing for my husband. For this Valentine’s Day, I thought I would be a little more organized, and take care of the parents’ gifts and the Valentine’s Day...
