Q-Kids: Blue Jean Bunk Bags
We recently combined rooms for two of our kids. Let's just say it's going rough. It's hard to share space when you're young. To give each of the kids their own special space that was off-limits to the other I came up with this solution. Blue jean bunk bags. I took a pair of ripped… Continue reading Q-Kids: Blue Jean Bunk Bags

Q-Kids: Unique Bouquet
My kids love to pick dandelions and about any other flower they come across on our nature adventures. The problem is that rarely do the kids pick the flower stems long enough to actually make a real bouquet with. So when I saw this fun craft I knew we had to try it out. Before… Continue reading Q-Kids: Unique Bouquet

Q-Kids: Archaeology At Home
My kids are really into (read obsessed) with finding "ancient artifacts" ever since they saw the Let's Go Luna episode about Egypt. We've been looking at the photos in a few of my adult books about archaeology. I thought that would satisfy them. Dear readers, they want more. So we went onto YouTube and looked… Continue reading Q-Kids: Archaeology At Home

Q-Kids: Hot Rock Art
The broken crayon is the bane of my craft box. If you're int he same boat as me it's time to collect all those broken bits and get to crafting. My kids have wanted to do the "painted rocks" art and leave them on our local trails for awhile now. The issue is all the… Continue reading Q-Kids: Hot Rock Art

Q-Kids Daily Art Activity
I know these past two weeks I've posted about teaching art classes but in all honesty I'd had those posts scheduled out before the whole virus crisis happened. I'm not teaching right now at all. But it occurred to me that just because I don't have a classroom to go into that I can't share… Continue reading Q-Kids Daily Art Activity

Putting Grumpy in Timeout
I think we all suffer from the occasional (or me a not so occasional) grumpiness. Certain things can get under my skin fast and make my mood turn dark within seconds. For example, loud chewing... I will excuse myself to the bathroom and "get lost" in route to avoid it. Put your big pet peeve… Continue reading Putting Grumpy in Timeout
