Did I ever mention our round robin art class? My 4 year old and a few of her friends meet up once a week to do art projects. The idea is to expose them to a bunch of different types of techniques and projects and they have done a wide variety of things. I got to go first and it happened to be that my daughter's friend came over and brought this apron: ...
Last year I shared some templates that I set up for our crayon and eraser mishloach manot. Above is a final photo of how they turned out. They were a big hit with small fry, I think most adults were afraid to try them. Then again, they are relatively harmless treats for children (ok there is a bit of sugar but still probably less than in all that Purim ...
Wouldn't these be great for Purim? These are producted by Oeuf and handmade in Bolivia and are fair trade crafts. You can read more about the masks and Oeuf's Bolivian project on their website. Thank you Sophie Demenge, from Oeuf for permission to use the image above. Other fun animal masks are these felt masks made by Elsie Marley. Image Copyrigh ...
Last year I posted a picture of a hamentash I made out of felt. I just wanted to show how I did that. It's pretty simple and requires: Two round circles in the shade of your choice some stuffing for the center some alternate color felt scraps for the filling of your choice Layer and Sew, Sew, Sew!
I know that I briefly mentioned the project that we did for Parshat Chayei Sara. As a tie in to the two bracelets that Rivka/Rebecca received from Eliezer we decided to do two types of bracelets, I chose one and my daughter chose the other. We did not decide to do a nose ring (my daughter was not into that although she did take the opportunity to ask so ...
A quick project to add detail for Rosh Chodesh school outfits. Crochet flowers for Rosh Chodesh. This is actually a pin intended for pinning onto the required blue skirt for Rosh Chodesh. Some almost five year olds think that plain blue is not so pretty so now we've made a blue and pink flower pin to attach to solid blue skirts. However, the solid blue ...

Its that time of year and we've (royal "we") been home almost all week with strep. 4 year olds with strep still have more energy than their folks so we came up with a variety of things to do and here's what we've done so far as sick child activities: Projects 1. Finished a mezuza: This was a basic wooden mezuza that had been painted pink, covered with g ...
I was sure I posted about this 100 years ago but I couldn't find the post and I also can't seem to find a photo yet but a while back we made bath salts as a wedding gift. This is a great gift item to make with kids as its really simple to do. I thought of it this week as its a good tie in to the Parsha (Lot's wife.) I will try to update with a photo whe ...
One of the reasons I've been a bit slow to post around here (besides baby and work) is that we are still catching up and unpacking from moving over the summer. I thought I would share this little child's refrigerator that we made because its: 1. Fun 2. Useful for storing kids toys 3. A recycling project 4. A project that can be done with 4 y ...
