Crayola Color Wonder Products

Back in March, Sherry Holetzky included Crayola Color Wonder in her Kids Crafts blog about cool craft products. However, my family just loves these products so much that we felt they deserved their own article. Everyone knows Crayola as probably the most popular brand of crayons, constantly coming out with new colors and even larger boxes. But Crayola has come up with this amazing product that claims to be mess-free and easy to do anywhere. Yes, parents, Color Wonder products are just about one of the most innovative creative tools of our children’s time. The trick to the Crayola Color … Continue reading →

Welcome to Crafts for Kids!

I am really excited about this blog, and I want to welcome each of you. This is going to be a lot of fun. My name is Sherry Holetzky, and I also host the Home and Garden Blog. I have four kids of my own and I enjoy coming up with ideas for craft projects, and working on crafts with my kids. A little imagination goes a long way when it comes to crafts, and I was pretty creative as a child (says my mom who is not biased at all…). I was always making something, or more accurately, making … Continue reading →

Healthier Snacks for the New Year

My 7-year-old’s New Year’s resolution: See how many ounces of chocolate syrup she can pour over Peanut Butter Cheerios before getting a stern, “Enough!” from me. And here I thought she was adding the chocolate syrup to white milk. Hmmm… chocolate milk over Peanut Butter Cheerios… that doesn’t sound half bad. We are Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup fans around here; however, since we’ve made like lemmings and are trying to eat healthier in 2012, it’s out with the sugary vending machine staples and in with nutritious munchies like Peanut Butter Cheerios. Excuse me. I mean Multi Grain Cheerios Peanut Butter. … Continue reading →

Removing Super Stubborn Stains

As a mom of a very craftaholic little girl who has used walls, carpet and clothing as her canvases in the past, I know a thing or two about stain removal. In fact, I consider myself a stain removal expert. My top commercial stain removal products (in no particular order) are: Orange Miracle Biz Stain Activated Booster Goo-Gone OxiClean Carbona Stain Devil Simple Green I’m sure there are a number of other excellent commercial stain removers on the market, but I tend to stick with ones that I have had good experiences with, and the aforementioned products have served me … Continue reading →

Once you know the proper etiquette and have the right supplies you will be ready to plan a tea for your homeschool co-op event.

Buy Your American Girl Scrapbook Supplies For Christmas

I have a few nieces that are right in the middle of those pre-teen years. My daughter is still too young for that, but she thinks she is as old as they are. Something I always struggle with is what to get them for birthdays and Christmas. I ran across some adorable ideas recently on www.twopeasinabucket.com.

Maybe this is common knowledge, but what a great idea for Moms that scrapbook to share their fun with their daughters with one of their favorite … Continue reading →

Product Review-Martha Stewart Large Circle Cutter

Posted on by

I have to admit that I am a very simple scrapbooker. I do not have a lot of “tools”. Rarely do I use them, so I don’t see the need to buy tools when I could spend my money on paper! But, I was watching Oprah the other day, and saw a tool that I thought I would actually use. It was the Martha Stewart Large Circle Cutter. I grabbed my 40% off one item coupon for Michaels and decided to head out and see how much it was. Honestly, it looked really cool and my free-hand circles never turn … Continue reading →
