We have a fun time at our house making our own things rather than purchasing them. Why buy playdough if you can make it with ingredients already in your cupboard?…
B loves “treasure” and “jewels” AND Science, so I thought it might be fun to combine them all into one fun at-home project.  Growing our own crystals!…
B has been asking if we can take a vacation where it snows. It’s summer, so that makes it a little difficult, but there’s also COVID-19 which puts a large damper on traveling, making it much less desirable…

I wanted to do a craft today that was symbolic of the cross as we enter into the Easter weekend, so I decided on a watercolor tape resist cross…
