I have the most beautiful tissue paper stained glass project to share with you today.

You only need tissue paper and popsicle sticks to make them, but holy moly, they look just like real stained glass!

Have the kids make a whole bunch to decorate a window in your home or classroom.

What a cheery pop of colour on a dreary winter day.

I can assure you, they'll all be easy, made with basic craft supplies and recyclables, and they'll all be ADORABLE.

Case in point: today's super-cute gingerbread man in his gingerbread house.

These were inspired by a store-bought ornament (you can see it in the post), but I honestly think our homemade version is cuter!

As we adjust to this new (but temporary) normal, many of you have said you're finding it challenging to find projects and activities for your older kids.

Well, it thrills me to share with you these fingerless gloves that your tweens and teens can make using a cardboard tube (like a Pringles tube or a bread crumb container, or even a roll of duct tape) and a few popsicle sticks and yarn.

They knit up in an hour (no knitting sills required), and your kids can really wear them! (I know because I made a pair for myself!)

They're freaking AWESOME!!

Check them out with the link below!! Go! Go!

Just grab a handful of stir sticks when you're in Starbucks (ask first!), and your kids can transform them into glittery, shimmery dragonflies.

They're fun for play but I think they'd look wonderful suspended in a window, or strung into a mobile similar to the pinecone mobile we made last month.

Check them out, and tell me what you think! They're SO EASY!

Eeek! I am SO excited to show you these dolls!

They were so much fun to make, and the process was incredibly creative (and addictive!)

What a terrific activity for strengthening fine-motor control and co-ordination, and just look at them! Each and every one is so unique!

Grab some paint sticks, and bust out the fabric and yarn scraps! You're in for some fun!

Man, we are just hitting it out of the park with beautiful and easy crafts these days!

Today I'm sharing another one of our March Break Craft Camp crafts with you! Last week, over the break, I held a craft day for my hooligan grads. Some of them hadn't been together in years, so it was lovely to spend a day making classic, good-old fashioned crafts together.

Today, I'm sharing the colourful God's Eyes that we made. This one will take you right back to your childhood!

We had so much fun wrapping and weaving our colours. The children loved this activity so we made tons of them! The process is fun and easy, and so good for strengthening fine motor skills, concentration and co-ordination.

And the results are GORGEOUS! Have a look!

These yarn dolls are SO cute, and great for developing fine motor skills and wrapping and winding skills.

I made a bunch with the 3's one morning, and then after school, I showed them to Miss 8. She LOVED them, and made one after another after another. And what did she ask to do the next time she was here? She wanted to make more craft stick dolls!

They're just too cute and fun!! Check them out!
