4 DIY Crafts for this weekend - Crafts for Kids - Top DIY Links | Small for Big

With Birdie in school full days, our art-making time has been sorely lacking over the last months. I finally realized the solution – she needs to know the schedule. Just like piano lessons every Thursday, I’ve decided this summer to try and have an “art day” one afternoon each week. I’ve found with her, if it’s labeled, and set up ahead of time, she’s much more interested. Otherwise, that big head full of big ideas has come up with twenty other thing she wants to do, and my best ideas always get pushed aside. Of course, sometimes her big ideas are worth exploring too!

This week, round about the internet:

  • I’m loving this twist on a classic: Monster Blow Paintings, via Picklebums.
  • Now that’s how to use up bubble wrap! via Reggio Children Inspired.
  • Burger-loving, cake-loving dad? This is the Father’s Day Gift for you, via Willowday.
  • The best kind of July 4th may be the most vintage version. via Country Living.
