A Dozen Kid Crafts for August

So instead of Throwback Thursday, I’m sharing this roundup of fun crafts for the hooligans.  Because maybe by August you need a little creativity boost…I certainly do, and I have the supplies for most of these already on hand, so I don’t have to make a trip to the store with kids and chaos in tow!Untitled-1

About Megan

My various hats: mom to three crazy teens and one quirky dog, wife of 27 years to my retired GI Joe, and high school math teacher. After my husband's retirement from the Army, we've settled in the Pacific Northwest. Crafting, cooking, photography, and reading keep me sane (that's a relative term!) and I hope you'll enjoy following along as I navigate the chaos of life!
