Craft Projects

I love a good DIY. With two kids who love to get messy, a crafty project in the kitchen provides us with some quality time and entertainment. Our most recent project was to make kid-friendly, toxin-free air fresheners! Now, I'm going to be honest, I don't normally think: "Why don't we whip up some kid-friendly, toxin-free air fresheners?" I was really just thinking we'd make some salt dough ornaments because the kids love cooking and painting. But our project evolved into air fresheners and WE LOVE THEM! The Usual Salt Dough Recipe 2 cups flour1 cup salt1 cup water Mix the ingredients together in...

We are a homeschooling family and one of our favorite subjects is nature study. I’d been eyeing a local nature preserve for a while for its natural science museum, great trails and homeschool educational programs, but what finally pushed us to go was their Dinosaurs Live! exhibit. This is a series of 10 life-sized animatronic dinosaurs that move and roar at you as you walk along the exhibition path. The children absolutely loved it. Once home, after our visit, the children found a documentary on dinosaurs and were especially interested in the baby dinosaurs hatching from eggs. I love to get the kids...

I know there are a million great playdough recipes out there. Each recipe has their own little spin on it to make it unique. Well, friends, you are not going to beat this one! This is how to make chill out playdough with your essential oils, and I'm going to guess that you Moms will especially love this recipe as summertime approaches. Essential oils are big in our family. I use them for everything, and when I say everything, I mean EVERYTHING! We use them when cleaning the house, cooking, supporting our physical health, mental health, even our emotional well-being. One of my favorite...

Clark and Luci have been loving watercolor paints recently, and I've been learning to make cards on my new Cricut Explore Air 2 that I got for Christmas. Today, we decided to combine our two current obsessions to show you how to make a St. Patrick's Day rainbow watercolor paint card for Clark and Luci's grandparents. We will be spending St. Patrick's Day with them, and what better way to them how excited we are to see them, than with a card for the occasion! Here are the supplies you will need: Heavy Watercolor PaperWatercolor PaintsPaintbrushBrown and Black Construction PaperGlueGold PaintBlack SharpieCricut...

Ever notice that there are flower bouquets for every season and reason, but not really for St. Patrick's Day? In fact, the stores where I live completely skip over this little holiday and have right on to Easter. To rectify this injustice, we have decided to make our own bouquet of shamrocks for St. Patrick's Day with coffee filters. I guarantee they'll last longer than your typical bouquet as well! Things you will need: Coffee FiltersPencilGreen Pipe CleanersGreen Food DyePaper Towels You can make as many shamrocks as you like - the more the merrier! Start by taking each coffee filter and dividing...

We are just 2 days away from the once-in-a-lifetime solar eclipse, and I'm probably the only person left on the planet who hasn't bought the necessary glasses. It's a huge homeschool fail, I know. I see all the homeschoolers around me ramping up for the big event, drafting elaborate unit studies, inspiring excitement and anticipation. And me? When I finally get around to thinking about it, there are no solar eclipse glasses to be found. So, in true DIY fashion, we are going to make our own solar eclipse pinhole viewers. With young children, the solar eclipse pinhole viewers are maybe a better...
