I will do anything to avoid housework, especially if the distraction allows me to play. Check out my tower made of magazine-insert origami boxes. Then, visit my Let's Make Stuff page for directions and the story behind this piece of silliness.

Check my Let's Make Stuff page for directions on how to make a paper campfire with your young friends and family members. Very cute and you can use it as a fire starter when you go camping.
It's KBWT! I'd like to feature Kathy Ross' website as the Kids Book Website for today. Kathy has written slews and slews of books about making crafts with kids, or about kids making crafts. Her crafts often use items that other people will toss away. Some of her crafts are SO clever and SO easy that I am speechless with wonder. To be completely unbiased, I have to admit that a few of her crafts do not appeal to me. But every single one of her books has several crafts that I wish I had thought up first.
So many craft books for kids result in "cute" things that are really more about technique and/or about keeping the kids busy than they are about making something useful. Kathy Ross' crafts often have a play or gift component. The Comet Balls from her book Crafts for Kids Who Are Wild about Outer Space are a good example. (Sadly, the book is no longer in print.) We made those last week for the Stories in the Schools. They are simple aluminum foil balls with ribbon tails that allow children to toss the balls and catch them by the tails. So easy to do. So cute. Have I been effusive enough? Check out the website. Look for Kathy's books at the bookstore or library tonight!

Nah-uh.

That lovely artwork was done by Joey Hartmann-Dow. She'll be at Craft Fair with more of her artwork. Get yourself and everyone you know over there on Saturday.
