Check out how thick this book is! It really is an amazing collection of creative and educational crafts that parents as well as kids will love to do. The book focuses on children ages 3-12 and, depending on the craft project, adults may want to help the younger age set with some of them.
The book is full color with detailed photograph instructions. There is also a photo glossary of items needed to make a well-stocked craft shelf and even a section on basic craft skills (how to make a simple running stitch, etc).
I mean, how fun are these craft projects?!?
The Water Fireworks project caught my kids’ eye when we first flipped through the book so naturally it became our first crafty project!
It is a really neat science experiment and so fun to watch.
Let’s make some fireworks, shall we?
Water Fireworks
Supplies
1 tbsp cooking oil (vegetable, canola, olive, etc)

We love doing science projects in our house – I am not sure if she includes this in her experiment, but we like to shake up the contents and observe the results…how they never truly mix and eventually separate – until you ad some drops of dish soap – then see what happens!

We have been enjoying the splash pad at our neighborhood park. We are visiting family in Montana next month.

We bought a water table for my kiddo and it’s definitely been the highlight of our summer! I also am trying to get some sewing done and simplify our lives by getting rid of things that don’t serve a purpose. 🙂

Um no, how sad is that no plans. We are trying to have fun the usual kid stuff like going to the pool, or making stuff in the kitchen (I hate the outdoors in the summer) we would like to go camping but that probably won’t happen until it cools off and our girls quit freaking out around bugs!

My family and I are going camping next week, hopefully! We had some long-term illness and a new baby born(with some complications at first) so we are taking it easy this summer! Lots of day trips like the park with the kids, and boating and sailing! We would love to get this book to keep the kids busy at home.

We’re going to the zoo in a couple of weeks and then an extended weekend camping. I’m just hoping this hot weather breaks before then.
