Earlier this week I took a trip to my local reuse centre. And as usual I came home with a whole big bag of loot.

But here is our living room solar system: And here is the blue goo (recipe from here: http://scienceprojectideasforkids.com/) that took me five days to solidify enough to be used. My kids call it BOB because it reminds them of the character of [...]

This is my painting from yesterday: These are the boys’ clay projects: They are unfinished of course. We will paint them tomorrow. This one is mine: And yesterday I let Trey take pictures with my digital camera. This one I just had to share: He caught his little sister and brother curled up in the corner cupboard [...]

Here is a pretty wax resist the boys and I did last week. The idea came from that one science activity book that Trey got for his birthday. Joel will often ask for it and tell me what he wants to do that day. They usually do their own drawings when we do this but [...]

We love art and nothing is more fun than creating lasting pieces of art on canvas. Lasting is a bit exaggerated since I have been known to reuse canvas but it is still a lot more permanent than painting on paper. This was Anna’s first canvas. Here are the kids: And below are the finished [...]
