Hello everyone! It's Megan from Homemade Ginger again and I'm going to be sharing a craft that's perfect for the Fourth of July! Do you keep a schedule for your kids during the summer or is it pretty laid back? I am naturally a very laid back person, but my kids absolutely thrive on a schedule. So, even though it doesn't come naturally for me, I have learned that when we schedule out our days in the summer months, everyone is much happier. One of my girls is particularly schedule obsessed.

How to Make Wrapped Yarn Ornaments
Every time I go to the store lately, I find myself wandering down the Christmas aisles admiring all the pretty things I don’t need. Especially the festive little cookie cutters.

My kids are getting to the age where they don't want to tag along with us on every little errand we run anymore. Or at least, my oldest daughter doesn't (she's 6). We'll be all like, "OK everyone!

Do you remember that show on MTV from the early … [Read more...]

Not to mention that it was also totally gorgeous! And peaceful. I've been carrying the bottle around for a few days now, shaking it up like a crazy person, and then staring at the amazing galaxy in it as it settles. … [Read more...]
How to Make Crystal Stars
OK you guys, I think I've fallen in love with another kids activity. These crystal stars are awesome! Any activity where I get to make something beautiful from bright rainbow colours, and I'm totally on board! I think I might love it almost as much as I love making puffy paint window clings. These are so easy to make, and they look SO COOL when they're done! I wasn't sure what my 5 year old and 3 year old were going to think, but they had a blast. I was sitting in the chair folding pipe … [Read more...]
