Rosh HaShana Card Craft For Kids Using Paper And Staples!
One of the things I love about doing crafts with kids is that once in a while a fresh idea comes to light via the innocence of a child. The idea of using only staples and paper to create something, in this case a card for Rosh HaShana, the Jewish New Year, is truly a fabulous one, and maybe even one that is born of necessity. And of course there is a great lesson to be learned: don’t let lack of a range of supplies inhibit your creativity, it can in fact help your creativity flourish! I am at long last cleaning out my office (which sadly became more like…

Rustic Wire And Fabric Flower Craft
I saw this idea for making a rustic wire and fabric flower sculpture with a wine cork base on our travels just a few weeks ago, and I just had to share it with you! The idea of stitching fabric scraps onto a wire shape can be used in so many ways, to make flat ornaments for a wall hanging or mobile or to get a bit adventurous and go for something with dimension.

Summer Pool Party, By Kids, For Kids!
Yesterday was Rosh Chodesh, which means "head of the month", and since entering each and every new month on the Jewish calendar is a mini holiday, the kids have a half day of school and a special activity (in some families it includes a special Rosh Chodesh meal) is in order. With hot weather to boot, and our seasonal porch pool up and running I was able to convince the kids to use the pool together, and my daughter came up with the idea of a pool party…….all I had to do was supply the money to buy some pool toys and some special ice cream, and they did the…

DIY Snowglobes Using Recycled Jars
Okay dear readers, here is it, my daughter's current number one favorite craft, made by her, photographed by me, and of course encouraged by me as well!

Fortunately my daughter got bitten by the creative bug and finally decided to put those baby food jars and that glycerin waiting patiently in the cabinet to good use. We are just thrilled with the results and just need to find some more subject material to make some more! DIY snow globes can…
