Here’s a shot of Jake after we made a kite with his Kid K’nex set. The Bucket of Buddies we gave him for Christmas contained 70 pieces and an idea fold-out (you can see it sitting on the table) with over 50 examples of possible creations. We’ve all had fun playing with this […]
Kids always love balloon animals and other whimsical balloon models like swords, flowers, apples, and hats. But you don’t have to hire a children’s party entertainer like Jelly Kelly to make your favorite balloon models! Check out this “how to start balloon modeling video” from VideoJug.

Hsien mentioning toys without batteries reminded me of the craft my oldest did at Michael’s this past weekend. Each child was given a kit to paint and assemble a wooden toy. They all had a such a fun time with their creations, and were very proud of their accomplishments!

This is what my oldest was busy creating yesterday while I was fervently finishing up my Christmas cards. (I know, I’m such a procrastinator.)

With the beginning of the dreary season hinting at its arrival in the Midwest, I’m trying to think of good items and activities to have on hand for indoor play as we wait out the gray skies of winter.
A popular activity on the 5 year old girl circuit is making necklaces with beads. Maybe […]
Now, don’t get me wrong. I love the real stuff. Play-doh is a staple in our home. Sometimes, though, you don’t realize that you’re just about out (or that what you have left is about as doughy as a brick) until it’s an absolutely impossible situation in which to run out to […]
