It is about time to start breaking out the holiday music!


We made drums out of re-purposed duct tape rolls for our Make-It & Take-It craft program earlier this month, and making a flute to go with it would be pretty awesome!

Star Wars: Yoda Craft

I am designating today as a Star Wars themed craft day, because Star Wars: Episode VII is a month away from coming out in theaters!

This is a slightly labor intensive craft that you can do with the kids, and they will have a blast playing with them after. Or if they won't, I will and then my pets will have to endure it [cue the maniacal laughter]. Because there is no better playmate than a embarrassed pet that you have forced into dressing up for the sake of play, said the vegetarian...

Sandpaper Art Activity!

Here is a fun and inexpensive activity to do with the kids!

This is basically a sandpaper painting craft, but there are three different methods to choose from (my favorite is the first one)! Plus, you can cut the sandpaper to be whatever sizes you want, that way you can frame them later (if you are into framing your child's artwork).
