Hooray! It’s Friday. You’ve made it through the workweek, and now you have two whole days to do whatever you want. One of the things you may have to tend to is the cleaning of your home. Weekends are typically the best time to clean, and if you have children this task may be a little bigger than expected.

Don’t let your little ones sit on the sideline watching you clean, make sue you have them help you. One of the best ways to have them help is by making them pick up after themselves. Kids have so many toys, books, and trinkets they collect. Make them become more responsible for keeping these items in order.

If your little one is an avid book reader then you are going to need a place to store their library. Instead of the traditional bookshelf store books in decorative crates. Recently we stumbled across a great creative craft project on the blog, No Time for Flash Cards. Allison created this Mod Podged book crate with her daughter, and it is a great kids craft. This will make the perfect place to have your kids store their books. To learn how to make this project visit the blog here.  

Happy Friday! Welcome to the start of the weekend. If you are a Mom then you’re looking forward to Sunday, Mother’s Day. If you have little kids who aren’t old enough to buy you a gift, no problem, we have the perfect project you can help them make.

Anna from My Life and Kids created these Mod Podge Handprint Canvases. We love this project, not only is it fun to make but it is easy too! This weekend make this project with your little ones. To find a complete list of the supplies used, and the step-by-step instructions click here. 

The workweek is officially over and now the weekend can begin. This weekend we want to encourage you to get creative, and craft something with your kids. Weekends are the best time to craft with your little ones. You have ample amounts of time to clear off that kitchen table, get to work on something amazing.

Since spring is in the air we wanted to share with you these easy DIY wind chimes. This by far is one of the easiest and enjoyable crafts for kids to make. Don’t take our word for it, check out Abigail over on Lovin’ Our Chaos. She and her kids created these chimes one afternoon, using Mod Podge Washout and Apple Barrel paints. We hope you have a blast creating these wind chimes, click here to learn how to make them.

You’ve made it to the weekend. Aren’t you excited? We sure are, the weather is finally getting warmer and this weekend we are expecting to see some nice weather. If you are expecting something similar in your neck of the woods, then we want to suggest you take sometime out to craft. Today we wanted to share with you this bright and colorful project. Check out these Dinosaur Jar lids. This is a great project that is kid friendly. We discovered these lids on the blog Lolly Jane. How creative are these lids? To create this for yourself you will need Apple Barrel paints and Mod Podge washout. This Mod Podge formula is perfect when crafting with children, because if they spill it on furniture or on their clothes it will come right out with soap and water. To see all the supplies used in this project, and the step by step instructions visit Lolly Jane. Have a craftastic weekend.

T.G.I.F. Hooray the weekend is here and after the week you’ve had, you may be in need of some well deserved R&R. Luckily crafting is always ranked highly as a good way to relax. So throw your cares away and pull out some paint. In case you’re stumped on what to make, we have a suggestion, why not make this adorable time out chair? While our kids maybe perfect angels most of the time, every now and again they will get into trouble. When they do, you can send them to time out in this adorable and colorful chair. Stephanie from Somewhat Simple created this chair using the new FolkArt Handmade Charlotte stencils and FolkArt paints. To see how to make this for your little one click here.

T.G.I.F. The weekend is here, and now you will have even more time to craft. With spring upon us there are so many creative ideas you can bring to life.

If not, no worries we have been scouring the internet to give you some inspiration. Today we would like to share this springtime mason jar photo holder project. We discovered it on the blog, Spool and Spoon. This project was created using one of today’s most popular surfaces, Mason Jars, and Martha Stewart liquid glass fill paint and clings. We love how Jess designed this project. It is a great way to display pictures of your little ones. To see how Jess made this project visit here blog here.

Trying out new craft techniques can be fun, but often times many shy away from trying something new because of the unknown. They worry what if it gets messed up, or what if it doesn’t come out looking nice? Throw your worries away and just take a chance. This lesson is a good one to remember when crafting with your little ones. They often times can be even braver than us adults, when it comes to trying new things. We found an example of this in this DIY dragonfly wall art project from, First Home Love Life. Christine created this project with help from Martha Stewart glass clings and paints, and her 5 year old. Christine had never used these products before, but jumped at the chance to create something. Her little one even got in on the fun and was able to paint some of the bugs herself. Lesson of the day, don’t be afraid to try something new. To see step by step how Christine made this project click here.
