This month, we’re featuring your favorite projects on wheels. Join us for a month of transportation themed crafts.

From, buses to cars to planes, younger and older children alike are fascinated by things on wheels.  My sons have both gone through stages where they were completely obsessed with trains, then later with matchbox cars and then planes and helicopters. But whether you have boys or girls, planes cars and trains offer great tools for learning. Use these craft projects to teach lessons about geography, how people and supplies are moved from place to place and even simple science lessons like how engines and wheels work. This month, we'll be showcasing crafts, room décor and party ideas so stay tuned. Happy new year and happy crafting!

We love desk set revamps. They are easy to do and add a new look to a room. This desk set is so cute and trend-right with the popularity of the new Princess and the Frog movie. I also love the cool color combinations of green and purple-not traditional girl colors but definitely very cute and unique.

You can pick up the unfinished surfaces at your local craft store or use surfaces you already have handy. What a great way to get your favorite girl's room organized for the new year.

If you are anything like me, you'll be spending the next few weeks organizing, cleaning and making room in your home for new toys and gifts. The end of the year is a great time to get organized- everone likes to start the begining of the year with a clean slate. And I, like many, love to free up mental and physical space for new creative projects that I have on the horizon.

I like to apply this concept to my children's play area as well. I'm trashing, donating, and otherise clearing out oldies, as well as doing a little winter cleeaning at home. And on Plaid Kids Crafts,  I'll be featuring projects over the next few days that combine creativity and organization. The first is this chalkboard toy box. Whether you have an old chalkboard that needs a fresh coat or paint, or you've found one at your local thrift store, you can give your box new life with FolkArt Chalkboard paint. This toy box is simple and easy to do and provides a new surface for customizing with the children. Happy crafting.
