Playtime: Green Activites & Art Projects for the Whole Family

March 12 by Steph (MPMK Founder)

Lots of fun green activities for kids for both St. Patrick's Day and Earth Day

I've got some exciting news to share today.  A few month's ago the folks over at FamilyFun Magazine asked me to design the "Go Green" edition of their Family Fun Badges, to be featured online and in print.  "What's a Family Fun Badge?" you say.  They're kind of like boy scout badges for families.       I really love how the whole concept promotes family time and creativity and was thrilled to have the opportunity to get involved.  Also, I got a pretty great theme to … [Read more...]
