Kids Crafts – Bubbles & Boxes to Beat Boredom
You know how parents always seem to chuckle a bit at how the kids love the big box better than the present that came in it? More often than not, simple is the solution when kids are seriously bored and in need of an imagination adventure or giggle fest. I can’t tell you how many [...]
The Gift Of Imagination
Editor’s Note: Happy weekend! This morning Rebecca Watkin is back on site reminding us of the importance of imagination. Enjoy. Here she is: “I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world” – Albert Einstein I’ve been thinking about [...]
Kids Crafts – Making Magic with Apothecary Boxes
Good Morning. Oh how we are having fun making cool new stuff for our magical world. After the fairy bowls, we definitely decided that the Land of Purple Unicorn Fairies (LOPUF), as it has now been deemed, definitely needs some storage with lids. This isn’t heavy-duty, big storage. But, more a need to have cool places [...]
Kids Crafts – Making Fun Fairy Bowls
As our “magical world” project continues this year, we are still super focused on the fairy forest part of that imaginary adventure. The tiny person is so excited about creating the bits and pieces that line the path to her castle and lead the way along the path into the fairy forest, that we found [...]
Crafts for Boys – Adventure Belt
It seems like FORVER since Ken jumped in here with another one of his boy-focused Craftizmos. April was one big adventure in exhaustion and good times with Earth Day events. So, busting out the duct tape and whipping up a very cool outdoor adventure pack (which could double as an awesome tool belt), got the [...]
Crafty Imagination – Easter Masks
Is anybody else dealing with some seriously crazed kiddos lately? I’m hoping there’s something in the air and our tiny person hasn’t gone completely bonkers because she’s more than a wee bit wound up these days. Normal, relatively quiet crafting that would normally take place around our house is not even an option at the [...]
Crafty Imagination – Cardboard Cameras
If there’s one thing our daughter could spot a mile away, it would be a camera lens. For the last 3.75 years, she’s had that thing in her face nearly non-stop without much complaint at all. In fact, for most of that time, she barely noticed the thing constantly hanging around mommy’s neck. Unlike most [...]
Crafts for Boys – Recycled Space Robot
Need I say more? The Dad in our house is here to share. He’s all imagination, goofiness, a love of recess and the reality that Star Wars will never die. Have fun with our first project… …and take the Craftizmos ROBOT CHALLENGE! Make your own version of this creature from the Planet Recycle and win [...]
Magic Tales of Unicorns, Dwarves & Discovery
Our house seems to draw a huge crowd of the mystical and magical lately. Every since we discovered Forest Fairies with the help of our friend Maureen (of Strong Start fame) and The Last Unicorn showed up in the DVD player, our house transformed into a fairytale land that pretty much skips the prince and [...]
Story Boxes for Kid Storytelling
Storytelling is big around our house. The tiny person is totally into making up her own universe filled with adventures, conversations, friends and a bit of drama to keep it interesting. I’ve always been excited about her penchant for telling tales. But, there are definitely times when the stories veer off into the “We’ve obviously [...]
