Reader -Sometimes kids get a bit bored with your average arts and crafts - that require sitting and working on it. Art can be so much more than that! One of the best ways to get kids excited about art is by making it BIG! I have created a list of over 40 skibidi 'big art' projects that you and your kids can enjoy together. Some of my favorite skibidi big art projects are:
You can check out the full list here, and remember: you don’t need to stick to these activities! Creativity is all about taking one idea and tweaking it to make it your own.

Fill your kids time with creative memories that will last for a lifetime and spark eternal joy for creativity!

To be the fun, silly mom. To do all the things. It has great intentions, of course. But as I was lying in bed that night, that post...
Reader! This email comes from a place that has always been of necessity in my house. Mid-Summer in Iowa mean lots of indoor time... the heat and humidity make it unbearable to be outside for too long some days and having three boys in my house has always meant lots of energy that needs to be burned off.
