Craft Projects

I am really excited to be guest-posting on a regular basis on one of my favorite blogs, My Joy-Filled Life. Today, my article, “Studying the Masters of Classic Art: Vincent Van Gogh” will be featured and you’re going to want to read it. This is such a fun and SIMPLE way (I’m all about quick and easy!) to learn about famous artists. The best news is the curriculum is FREE for the summer!!! Be sure to read the article to find out how you can get the curriculum and have fun with your kiddos! My children absolutely loved it, so we will be...

Happy 4th of July to all of our American Readers!  Our holiday plans were rained out and I was just coming off of a series of three 12 hour night shifts, so there wasn’t much activity going on at our house today.  Any time we are confined indoors, however, the children are always happy to experiment with an art project.  So today we learned hw to make a patriotic firework painting with a fork! Here's What You'll Needed This project is quick, simple and fun – because you really can’t mess up!  We gathered together black construction paper, paints, a plastic fork...

We’ve been learning about dinosaurs for the past couple of weeks. We went on a field trip to visit a local nature preserve that had a display of animatronic, life-sized dinosaurs, which needless to say completely captivated the imagination of my children and we’ve been discussing these animals ever since! How cool are these? I mean, I was kind of fascinated, too! These dinosaurs moved, glared at you, roared, and even sprayed venom (maybe it was just water, but the kids were pretty sure it was poisonous) at us. We even had the opportunity to climb on them and check out their teeth! How...

There is one thing I’ve learned from homeschooling: If you don’t make holidays and celebrations into a really big deal, then your kids are going to miss out. This is especially true in my case, being a Canadian, transplanted into the United States. I was actually a little surprised to learn that I had very little understanding of many of the holidays. The great part is, as a Homeschooler, I get to learn with my children! Today we are using the opportunity to learn about President's Day, while sharing some activities and resources for homeschool. Starting with the Basics President’s Day is...

Kids never get tired of building, do they?  As I was going to bed last night, I tripped over an elaborate arrangement of blankets, toys and chairs in the hallway, which was apparently a gnome village of some sort.  As I peeked into Clark’s room, I see his room completely draped in more sheets and blankets.  I didn’t even dare to go in.  So I go to bed, deeply disturbed about the probable condition of my linen cabinet. I feel like I am constantly navigating construction, circuits, and forts. I find this sort of thing around the house all the time....

How about something a little different and a little more creative than the grocery store Valentine’s Day cards? Since we homeschool, we thankfully don’t have the need to do 101 Valentine’s Day cards, but this year, I thought it would be fun to send out something fun to the Grandparents, at least, just letting them know that we are thinking about them and that we love them. I originally saw this idea on Teachers Pay Teachers, but I love anything digital, so I modified things accordingly.  The end result is a beautiful, brilliantly colored picture to send to your loved ones. Step 1 Take...
