Candle Wax Boats

These are wonderful little candle boats that I made using a very simple wax kit that can be bought at Micheals. I used a old jar and melted the wax in a pot of water. Then very carefully poured it in to the pods. With the heat of the hot wax it is not an activity to do with children- but was a magical boat!!   Enjoy

Pom Poms

Apple so Red
How it went. It was really fun for the children they said they felt like their where wrapping pasta on a fork.  We made wonderful red apples and found the easiest way to tie them was take the whole bundle of yarn off the fork, find the middle and cut it in half, then lay it down on the table and use another piece of yarn to tie the middle tight.

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.

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.
