  • Paper Roll Scribblers

    Make some fun paper roll scribblers in this experimental process art activity for kids. This would be perfect for a rainy day and is so easy to do at a moments notice using materials most people would have on hand. When I was a kid I clearly remember holding a bunch of textas together in…

  • Soapy hand bubbles

    Today I’m sharing one of Miss K’s favourite tricks: Making bubbles with the liquid hand soap in our bathroom.

  • Foil Tiara craft for kids

    Recently the girls and I decided to make some tiaras out of foil. My kids love to create paper crowns and often make them on their own without any help from me. This version with the sparkly foil was even more appealing to them but they did need help with the pipe cleaner twisting and foil wrapping. The…
