Monday Funday: Making Math Fun with a Bowling Set
It's Monday. Did you have a good
weekend? They go by so fast don’t they? Oh well, the weekend will be here again
before you know it. Over the weekend I came across a cute craft project on the
blog Katydiddys. Laura Bray designed this bowling set project and the thing I love most
about it, is that it’s a learning craft project. She not only decorates this
bowling set with Plaid simply stencils and FolkArt paint, but she uses this project
to disguise a few math lessons. Click here to see how Laura made this project,
and to see the math lessons she created to go along with this project.

Freelance Friday: Plate Painting Project
TGIF! Wow this week
really sped by quickly. I guess that's what happens when you’re having fun
crafting, and creating. Do you have any craft plans for the weekend? Well if
you are looking for something to do with your kids, try this plate-painting
project. This is an adorable and simple project that your kids will definitely
love. The supplies for this project can be found at any craft store, and you
may already have some these in your home. Unleash your child's inner painter,
by letting them paint a plate. Now normally you would never actually want them
to paint the fine China, but this is an exception. I found this project over on
the blog, LoisPearl. I love seeing what people create with FolkArt paint. There
are so many different uses for this type of acrylic paint. To learn how this
project was created click here. Enjoy and have a great weekend.

Teaching Thursdays: Puppet Theater Tutorial
Many parents worry that their children watch too much TV nowadays. One way to counter this, and limit the amount they view is to get them more involved with creative projects. This is exactly what one of our craft blogger friends, Laura Bray did. She created this puppet theater for her daughter. Laura wanted to limit the time her daughter spent watching TV, and since she has a new interest in puppet shows Laura was inspired to create this project. Since her daughter's TV has been limited, Laura has noticed how much her daughter's creativity has come alive. Have any of you noticed this with your children, when you limit the amount of TV they watch? Below are the supplies you will need to create this project, and click here to visit Laura's blog, Katydiddys, to learn how to make it. Supplies:
