Easy Salt Dough Ornaments!
Easy Salt Dough Ornaments! We wanted to do something a little different with our Christmas tree this year so we decided to make our own ornaments! I put this off for a long time because I thought it would be too difficult or time consuming. I was surprised to find out that these ARE really simple and quick to make! We used gingerbread cookie cutters this time and we decided to use some of the more natural ingredients around the kitchen to color these with. We used turmeric for the yellow, cinnamon for the reddish-brown, cocoa for the dark grey and just plain salt dough for white. The “people” came…

Minecraft creeper coloring page!
[wp_ad_camp_2] Minecraft creeper coloring page If your kids are anything like mine they would play Minecraft 24 hours a day! My boys love to build houses and create imaginary new worlds! They fight zombies and gear up to beat the Enderdragon! They protect villagers, raise farm animals, mine for materials, and build elaborate castles with secret tunnels! Minecraft is a great tool to promote creativity! It teaches creative thinking, teamwork, geometry, geology, physics and some survival skills! We have had the opportunity to go to the local museum and see in person the various mined materials like obsidian, sandstone, coal, limestone, diamond, gold, iron and redstone! Plus the use of…

Christmas Craft: Our Thankful Tree and Countdown to Christmas!
Our Thankful Christmas Tree and Countdown Chain! We decided to do a 40 days of Christmas countdown this year! With space being limited in the RV I decided to do an all in one countdown and thankful tree! We used construction paper to cut strips of red and green. We each got 10 since there are 4 of us and 40 days until Christmas! We each got to write 10 things we are thankful for and attach it to the chain! Each day we’ll remove one link and read it out loud and discuss it as a family! Yes, my 5-year-old is thankful for Batman!

Easy Sun Catcher Craft!
Make your own Easy Sun Catcher Craft! This is a fun and easy craft for all ages! I even enjoyed making my own sun catcher with the kids! It is super, super easy!! You’ll need translucent cheap beads (kids craft beads $1.97 at Wal-Mart) and a tin foil pan. Make sure your pan is cheap like the ones from dollar tree so that it doesn’t have a brand name imprinted on it. Just a smooth bottom. Line the bottom of the pan as you wish with any design using the beads! We made star shapes, bluebonnets, and random. The random one actually turned out the best! Make sure there are…
