    How to make a Kids Derby Hat

    BySharon Williams April 30, 2013February 14, 2014

    Each year, the kindergarten classes at many Kentucky schools celebrate the Kentucky Derby by running a stick horse race and letting the kids decorate their own Derby Hat. This is a chance for the students to be creative and show off their own personal style with a long standing Kentucky tradition. I searched all over…

    Tips for Pen Pals

    BySharon Williams April 12, 2013April 12, 2013

    Did you have a pen pal when you were a kid? I did! I ended up corresponding regularly with some friends that lived in Japan and another girl who lived in Louisiana. It was always fun to go to the mailbox or get home from school and find a letter on the table. My daughter…

    BySharon Williams April 9, 2013March 6, 2018

    Have you ever wondered how to make a pop up book like you see in the bookstores? It can be done much easier than you may think. Sure, there are some really fancy pop up books, but kids can have a whole lot of fun with nothing more than some paper, scissors and a little…

    How to make a Yarn Octopus

    BySharon Williams February 14, 2013March 30, 2021

    Many of us remember as kids making crafts out of yarn. I had a cat that a friend made me that stayed on my bed for years. We made little yarn dolls and of course the ever popular yarn octopus. But my kids have never made them. So earlier this week, my daughter needed something…

    Be a Kid! Make some Fun!

    BySharon Williams February 3, 2013February 2, 2013

    Kids know how to have fun! They see a hill: they know they are supposed to roll down it! They see a creek: they throw rocks and make a splash. Kids see a field: they take off running. We need to learn from their example. So here’s some pictures to help get you remembering how…

    How to Make a Fortune Teller

    BySharon Williams January 5, 2013February 1, 2018

    This should take a few of you back to grade school. When’s the last time you made a fortune teller? 2nd grade? 5th grade? I had to sheeplishly admit that I didn’t actually know how. But, of course, I knew where to find out. I headed straight to my good friend Google and found out…

    Kids, Diet Coke and Mentos

    BySharon Williams December 31, 2012January 4, 2013

    You’ve probably seen the Diet Coke – Mentos Experiment all over the internet. Last year, it was really popular. My kids are old enough now to be ready to take on some great basic science experiments. So yesterday, we took a Diet Coke outside to the snow covered picnic table, gave them some mentos and…

    It’s the week after Christmas and everywhere there are toys that talk! Whether your child received a Furby or an Angry Birds stuffed animal with Sound, you are probably going to appreciate this story. When my son was a baby, he and his Nonna spent many hours together.
