I can’t tell you how happy I feel looking at these little balls of t-shirt yarn! Though I save just about everything, colorful t-shirts were not in my stash, (I know, hard to believe) so a few weeks ago I actually went and bought some from a local thrift store. And I’m so happy to…

Here's a relatively quick craft project that could be great for a group of kids or just a few. I think these sunbursts would look fabulous covering a whole wall at a day camp, brightening up an outdoor room, or as a kindness project to decorate a retirement home or a children's area in…

Summer Crafts For Kids: Sculpting With Paper Strips!
Here’s a nice spur of the moment craft to get your kids interested in three-dimensional thinking. I was thinking modern art sculpture, while my five year old was thinking tunnels.
