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.

Sand Paper Fun

This are some wonder rounds of wood that my friend and coworker brought for the children to sand they love to sit and sand, its very relaxing work. The picture above is a very sweet family with four children who's story and crafts can be found in this wonderful blog lakesuperiorchildrenshouse.

Fall is Here

What a wonderful time of the year. Here in Encinitas that season are a little slower to show their change and beauty, but you can feel that differences in the air.  It feels fresh and cooler then the summers heat.

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.
