a peek inside the fishbowl

Kids and crafts go together like peanut-butter and jam. There is a lot to love about crafting.

a) Kids are free to be creative and work without constraints
b) Kids love to make a mess

I have been browsing some websites for small crafty projects that caught my eye.

Here’s my list so far:

Fall crafts

• Apple dolls, remixed – I would like to make a bunch of these and display them outdoors, speared onto long sticks or the tines of a pitchfork in the style of beheaded apple people. I wonder, however, if someone is likely to stab themselves with a carving instrument. Hmm.
• Corn husk dolls
• Salt dough ghosts
• Rock bugs and other critters
• Leaf rubbings– I think we could turn these into placemats
• Oooh, Marla sent me this linked for a crocheted nature necklace 

Halloween crafts

• Flapping bat
• witch cupcakes
• Woven paper pumpkin
• Shadow puppets
• Gingerbread skeletons! Love these.

I’m still looking, but in the meantime, if you have any fall crafty ideas you’d like to add, add ’em!
