MY CRAFT PROJECTS! (under
construction)
Just a little page for listing crafts,
projects, and just creative ideas - Most of these I have tried or am
going to try. I hope you enjoy them!
*Don't forget that parental supervision is very important with
little kids! Especially when it comes to scissors, heat,
electricity, etc.* |

BIG YELLOW BOX |
Would you rather have someone show you some crafts in person than
looking at this site? Great idea! Why not host a craft party from
The Big Yellow Box? They are very fun, interactive parties where you
can see craft projects, make a craft to take home, and be able to
purchase complete kits with all the supplies included together!
Go here for more information about
The Big Yellow Box. "In
2002, in the interest of furthering personal development and
creativity, a new business, called Big Yellow Box by Crayola, was
created. Big Yellow Box brings home the opportunity for family
creative development, in much the same way that Crayola has brought
creative development to kids and classrooms for over 100 years. You
might say Big Yellow Box is the best thing to hit homes since, well
… Crayola Crayons!"
WHAT?!?!?! You've never heard of
The Big Yellow Box??? Well, I'm
sure you've heard of Crayola, right? Well, The BYB is a hostess
party company that holds parties in your home to show pre-packaged
craft projects that are put together by the Crayola Corporation...
in a BIG YELLOW BOX ready to do! The
craft projects are really pretty, useful, and just plain fun! The
parties are interactive and fun, and you end up coming away from the
party with something that you made while you were there. Not only
are the crafts useful, but these projects give you a GREAT reason
for spending more time with your children, and the end result is a
useful addition to your house that you can look at everyday and
remember an enjoyable time that you spent with your children.

Bored in the car? Try the ALPHABET GAME. You start at the letter
'A', and try to find something that starts with that letter. It
could be something like 'apple trees', or 'antennae' on the car, or
even a street that starts with the letter 'A'. Or, you can just
stick to finding street names that start with that letter, or find
billboards that have that letter on it. Either way, it passes the
time for a while so you aren't just staring out the window. (Hey - I
know it sounds simple, but it's a huge lifesaver on quick weekend
trips to the cabin!) |
