Arts, Crafts, and Fun Things to Do and Make with your children

Toss any magazine older Work them out. The problem with bad weather is that children don’t get enough exercise. Play “freeze dance” stopping in position when the music goes off. Pile up pillows and encourage the kids to gallop over them on hobbyhorses. Get out the tutus and do a dance show. The storm has hit and you are stuck indoors with small lightening fast children. Kids are bouncing off the walls. You’re just about to go bananas. You take a look, but the pieces to Candyland are missing. Maybe a boardgame can save you?
 
Grab some couch cushions or an large box and drape a sheet over them. Put toys and kitchenware for the kids to play with underneath. They can make a walkway to the structure with blocks. Set it up and hand out the invitations to all of the stuffed friends. It could be your dog or cats birthday, or your child’s favorite stuffed animals birthday. Decorate white paper plates for party invitations by coloring them and personalizing them. Bake up some cookies or have a popcornfest. Stretch out the preparation. Throw a ten minute party. Fill plastic bottles with whatever is on the shelf to make potions. Toothpaste, ketchup, food coloring - the yuckier the better. Add baking soda and vinegar and watch your concoction fizz. Clean out the magazine rack and have your kids clip pictures and paste them on paper. Suggest a theme, such as animals. Toss any magazine older than your toddler. Work them out.

Macro- Custom Order Clutch, originally uploaded by hobocampcrafts.

This is a macro shot of a custom order I’ve been working on. I am really happy with the way it came out- I hope the new owner is too. You never know- when you’re creating a custom order. The person is entrusting you to use your crafty psychic vibes to figure out what they want.

After some much stunting time- I’m starting to put craft supplies , fabric and my nik naks in their cozy little places. I reworked my universe board- and I’m much happier with the outcome.

We’re going up to Oneonta for a little getaway w/ my family. Thursday-Saturday. My brother has a little cabin up there. I love the area. The little strip has a great coffee shop with free WIFI and a great Salvation Army. We try to go up at least once a year. We might even try to go up again later in the year before baby comes. So I have the kitchen floor littered with reusable totes full of snackies and other treats to bring up for the 4th.

I’m meeting a friend at the mall in our area today. They use to have a humungo Joann’s which was always a great place to stop in and check sales. But alas it went out of business. We’ll probably do some window shopping and grab a coffee and I need to mail out some orders.

I’m hoping the outfit I’m wearing isn’t too much for a preggo. I asked Z before I left the house. He usually is honest- but aid I looked cute. I’ll have to take a pic and show you all later. I’m running out of clothes!

Have a great day and stay crafty!
