Web Wednesday: Baby Food Jars & Chalkboard Paint
 Did you know that baby food jars can re-purposed? Well in case you didn't know check out this unique way Hani from Craftionary recycles baby food jars. I was amazed to discover this absolutely genius craft project. Hani took baby food jars, and with some chalkboard paint and a few supplies transformed them into coin banks. Love it! This is a practical craft that can definitely be used around anyone's home. This project is also great for kids who are just learning to count. These jars could be used as another way to teach them about money, and counting. Click here to see how Hani made this fantastic project.

Tuesday Kid's Talk: Personalization for Kids
 A very hot trend in the craft industry is, personalization. The reason this trend does very well with most people, is because personalized items allow for a person to feel unique. We live in a world of mass produced items, so being able to make a personalized craft is a great way to stand out and show off your individuality. While this is a hot crafting trend for adults, it can also be used for kids. Kids love their name, and personalized crafts using their names can be a great way for your kids to get in on this trend. Take this personalized cubby coat hanger. We found this craft over on Fave Crafts, and are in love with it. How cute, right? This is a perfect example of a way to have your kids make a personalized craft. This is simple, and affordable to make. Change up the colors by selecting from a wide variety of Apple Barrel paints.
