Projects
It’s getting closer . . . no, not Christmas. Well, okay, Christmas is getting closer, too. But what I was REALLY talking about is . . .
Christmas holidays for the school kids. Think of it as a mini-summer vacation time. They’ll only be home and under your feet for a couple of weeks, but they will be there.
So, the age old question is already being discussed at the dinner tables and by the parents in their rooms after the little darlings have gone on to bed . . .
WHAT DO WE DO WITH THE KIDS?
Because we all know that shortly after the big guy in red leaves and heads back to the northern reaches of the world . . . shortly after the last battery goes dead . . . shortly after the teeniest pieces of the most favorite toy in the world have been lost . . . it’s then, my friends, that your kiddos and my (grand)kiddos will set up a wail that can be heard miles and miles away . . . .
I’m BORED, Mom!
So gather up your project starters and get ready now - while you still have some of your sanity firmly in check.
Here are some ideas:
How about this Snowman Door Hanger? Made with canning jar lids and paints . . . just right for your school-aged kiddos to do - and the youngers with adult supervision and help.
Continuing with the snowman theme - look at this snowman jar. Way cute - and you COULD even KNIT his hat instead of using material for it.
And, another one in the theme: Frosty Days Jar Art.
Want something INSIDE the jar to warm you up? Try this recipe for Jalapeno Jelly. Yummy!
Hey, many thanks to JM at the Fiction Scribe. I appreciate your highlighting my request.
