Years ago, when my daycare kids always wanted to touch and play with my good nativity set, I made this kid-friendly nativity set out of toilet rolls, fabric scraps and a glue gun.

What a hit!

They loved it so much, I ended up making an 8-piece set for each of them, and guess what. They still have them. They still play with them, and they're still in great shape.

It was a joy to make these sets, and the children cherish them. Not to mention, they provide hours of entertainment and imaginative play during the Christmas season!

And they're SO freaking adorable! Click the link below to see how to make a set for your kids!

Have you ever wondered how Eric Carle creates the artwork for the pictures in his books?

It's gorgeous, right? Wouldn't you love to create art like that?

Well, guess what!

He's made a short slide-show, demonstrating exactly how he paints, and it's actually a really simple process!

I gave it a try, and oh man! It's super-fun and totally addictive. I ended up making all kinds of coloured papers because once I got started, I couldn't stop!

Then I used some of the coloured papers to make Easter Egg napkin rings.

They're really pretty. And oh-so-Eric-Carle.

I think your kids are going to LOVE painting this way.

I've included a link to the Eric Carle slide-show in this post, so check it out.

And try it for yourself.

This would be an AWESOME activity for a school art class or an art party!
