My kids LOVE to print crafts and coloring pages off of the computer. We often will print birthday cards or thank you cards and they will decorate them themselves. At Christmas time I print off coloring pages to keep my younger one busy during the break. Oh that Christmas break can get long towards the […]

All three of my kids are perfectionist. (I don’t know where they get it from.) When it comes to art though, my boys are the most particular.
My 3 year old will get so frustrated when he draws outside of the lines. Side note: me reminding him that he is only three and he colors very […]

One of my favorite finds this spring was the Water Wow! line of “coloring books” from Giddy Up. Including Backyardigans, Hello Kitty, Dora the Explorer and Sesame Street themed Water Wow! Doodle Books, these little books provide a clean, stain-free experience for your kids.

My daughter’s been enjoying her copy of The Seven Continents of the World Jigsaw Book.
The book contains colorful illustrations of each of the seven continents of the world (but you could’ve figured that out now, couldn’t you? :P ). Each of the 7 puzzles is made up of 48 pieces, and the images include […]

Have you been over to the National Geographic Kids website? How fun! I just learned about a bird that “flies” underwater to gather aquatic insects to feed its family. And the coolest part? There was a video of it! Too, too cool.
I’d headed over there because my super […]

Books you can write in! What a dream. :) We’ve become big fans of the Wipe Clean range of Priddy Books. They all come with a black dry erase marker and lots of different activities like connect the dots, tracing, mazes, and anything else your child can think of to do with a pen. […]

The roads around here are covered in snow and ice, and I’m guessing that there are a lot of kids around the Midwest who are bummed today at missing their class Valentine’s Day parties!
Well, if you have a few of those kids hanging around your house today, and you’re looking for ways to cheer […]

Please excuse this proud mother moment. My son has apparently been impressing his teachers with his drawings. So imaginative! So full of detail! So fantastic! :D Rumor has it that one of his sketches will be framed and displayed somewhere at school. (I’ll take a pic of it if/when that happens.)
In any case, a sure […]
