Keep Kids’ Art Organized All Year with DIY Artist’s Portfolios

October 2 by Julee

This is such a cool way to keep track of all my kiddo's oversized art from the year! Love that you can use dry-erase and chalk on it too!

Are you struggling with what to do with all that art and school work coming through the door when the kids come home from school? Never fear - today Julee's with us sharing a simple DIY project we think you're going to love. We create - and save - quite a bit of art at our house. With school just starting, the volume of paintings, drawings, and other crafts is only going to increase.

New Year’s Eve Hour-by-Hour Countdown Activity for Kids

December 21 by Kaley

DIY New Year's Eve Countdown - kids punch out a hole for each hour leading up to New Year's Eve. Each hole is filled with fun questions and activities.

I have never attempted to let my daughter stay up until the New Year before. I am actually contemplating it this year, so I am armed and ready with an activity that will keep her entertained through all the hours until the ball drops. I made this fun poster with a little punch out circle for each hour leading up to midnight - kind of like an advent calendar for New Year's Eve. Each hour we have either an interesting question to discuss or an activity to do as a family. This is easy to put … [Read more...]
