This fun craft will keep your kids busy not only while they’re making it
but also for hours and hours of imagination and play time when they are
done. This eco-friendly craft is a pet motel for your child's stuffed
animals. You can actually build any variation of this you like such a
doll house or car park...
The end of the school year is upon us and that means packets of papers

partially used pencils, half used notebooks of paper and stacks of
artwork will make their way into my laundry room on the last day of
school, but this year I have a plan...
Allowing children to create a puzzle is an educational and fun craft
that also saves you a trip to the toy store. A homemade puzzle is also a
great way for them to reuse their artwork or old magazine photos. Not
only do they practice problem-solving, but it allows them to learn about
reusing and recycling...
...Bird watching is not only a great way to teach children to love
nature, but birds are also very good for your garden and landscaping.
They eat weed seeds, bugs and even small rodents so anything that

only attract birds but also allow you to reuse a few toilet paper or
paper towel tubes...
Over the past few years, a movement called “Meatless Monday” surfaced
that encourages families to choose alternatives to meat on Mondays. It’s
small step to help improve your family’s health and the health of the
planet. This is something that my family and I have tried and we really
enjoy testing out and tasting new recipes...
