Ceramic Wall Pocket Craft For Kids
My 12 year old son and I are getting in some very precious "mommy and me" time by spending an evening once a week at a local ceramics studio, and i have lots of fun things to share! Not to mention a big realization that my little stint with ceramics about four years ago that wasn't all that satisfying, wasn't because ceramics really isn't for me as I had concluded, but because the clay that we were given to work with wasn't for me! At this studio the clay fires white and I can therefore use clear bright colors, or black and white, and I'm loving it! (Plus maybe because…

Popsicle Stick Playground Craft For Kids
If you are looking for a fun craft to help kids build creativity, look no further! Creating a little park or playground using popsicle sticks and recycled cardboard tubes (for starters) is so much fun, and afterwards the kids can actually use their creation as a playscape for Playmobil people or any another little dolls or animals. In the past we have made a miniature swingset from recyclables, as well as a mini playground craft using skewers, though this popsicle stick playground was actually made by my ten year old son in school with a group of boys as part of a larger project. I am so proud of him!…

Mosaic Stone Fridge Magnets Craft For Kids
After we finished making our mosaic star of david plaque, there were of course some leftover tiles, and being the resourceful crafter that I am, i came up with this cute little mini mosaic craft for kids and adults, and they even double as magnets! This was such a fun project I am even thinking about going out buying some more of these kid friendly mosaic tiles that one can actually cut with scissors, even though of course I have boxes of broken pottery waiting for a serious mosaic project some day…….sigh. And the other great thing about this project it that it is great for those who wouldn't or…

Passover Craft For Kids: A Clay Seder Plate
A clay Passover seder plate is a sweet little craft that you can make with air drying clay, polymer clay or classic clay that requires kiln firing. Given that Passover is just six days away, I'd go for the polymer clay idea which is the quickest and won't require any firing. Plus then kids can also make the various items that are placed on the plate as well……hmmm that sounds so cute maybe I'll try to squeeze that into my kid's schedules this week! Then again, air drying clay could also work if you're not pressed for time, and the results can look very close to the example I've shown…

Ten Pine Cone Crafts For All Ages
Kids and adults alike love collecting pine cones after a nature walk, and they tend to be aplenty at many forest locations of day camps and sleepover camps, so pine cone crafts are a perfect summer craft, as long as one stays away from red and green felt if you know what I mean? Keep reading for links to all these projects, and hopefully I'll have time to use those pine cones I just found in drawer during our Passover/Spring cleaning, now seriously underway. Lucky for me the pine cones are already painted white, so maybe there will be some pine cone penguins in our near futures!

Orange Orchard Pine Cone Craft For Kids
Collecting pine cones on a nature walk is always a fun activity to do with the little ones, but what to use them for afterwards? Here's a good one for you: make a pine cone orange orchard! This idea is so simple yet with great results and fun for a variety of ages. And maybe they'll even take the time to make a popsicle stick shed for their orchard, and some little crates to fill up with oranges. That would be a good start to encourage creative activities rather than anything with batteries or that plugs into a wall, right? And of course if you want to get particularly crafty,…
