Toa of Craft

A blog that I am finding wonderful ideas in is the Tao of Craft. Such a beautiful bright blog with so many different offerings. I made gnome houses with my children at school and got the idea here.  They were so simple to make and the children loved them. The photo that inspired me to make the houses with the children came from a camp that tao of craft's children went to at a Roaring Fork's Waldorf School The camp is called Camp Oginali. Enjoy.

Pom Pom Apples for All

Today with the children I am going to be making pom-pom apples out of a red yarn that I found at a thrift store.  I saw a photo of how you can make them by wrapping them around a fork but with another look today the blog is not up and  running at the moment so I will include this link oddsockworld. Enjoy

Gnome Sailing

This is a wonderful and easy project that can all be made in a ziplock bag.  It is a little play mat that can be taken anywhere and easily rolled up for on the go fun.  I made two little blue sea people that sail the open seas in their little walnut boat.  Enjoy.
