Makes Leaves & Marbles from a Dough You Make Yourself

I had the pleasure of returning to my elementary school and showing the fifth grade class how to create using the cornstarch and glue dough recipes.  We made amazing marbles and leaves to follow along with class assignments.  The recipe and other great ideas can be found in the Make Healthy Fun! book and ebook along with tons of other ideas to get your entire family to unplug and have fun!

Happy Fall!

Strawberry Crafting

Is your family eating a lot of strawberries this summer?  Then you'll probably have a basket or two hanging around the house.  Create a fun basket weave craft project for your table to salute the end of summer.  Check out this video from the original Craft Wars ten years ago showing you what else you can do with strawberry baskets.  www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3_jslB-XrU&feature=share

Just Don't Plant Plants  

My bro keeps reminding me instead of just planting plants in the yard to make them edible - makes sense - since you're using the water, why not make it something you can eat? I bought a pineapple plant at Trader Joe's a few months ago and I think it will be part of tonight's dinner. But, will it start another pineapple??? 

Time for a Walk

These adorable and inexpensive sandals will get kids (and you!) out and walking this Summer.  For a different look, apply 3D fabric paint in a camo design or glue on some rope.

Happy 4th of July!!!

Enjoy!!!
