Although summer is in full force and I am loving all the outside play, I still enjoy having time to sit down with my kids and color, cut, paste and create. There is nothing like getting some Elmer’s glue stuck to your finger tips and pealing it off. All the memories of Kindergarten come rushing back. As a mom, I am lucky enough to get to experience it all a second time around by doing arts and crafts with my kids.
Both of my kids love arts and crafts. They can sit, color and draw for hours. Derek is prone to drawing superheroes and knights and Hayley loves princesses, glitter and rainbows! Today I came up with a list of 22 Craft Ideas for Girls focusing on her love for pink, art and all things girly

Found some very nice recycling projects for my girls here. We are recently talking more about recycling, reusing, waste, etc., at home as long as they are learning this at school now. Both of them seem to like these ideas and are thinking of new projects all the time.Thank you for the great ideas!
