Here’s a repeat project from last year, but a really sweet toy to make for the holidays — or modify to make a year-round version. Instructions are here. Or you could try the sewn version — bunny bowling — my project featured on Etsy’s blog last year. Those would be really cute as holiday mice.

Take a look at the easy printable holiday calendars I made over at Alpha Mom. One for Christmas and one for Hanukkah. This will help keep your kids busy when they’re out of school next week. Customize your calendar to celebrate whatever you’d like–how about Festivus?
I’m turning this blog over to the kids. This post was created by the kids for the kids. My children are always making things, usually shunning my ideas in favor of their own (as well they should). So I’ll be featuring some of their original ideas from time to time. This week:
A belt made from a broken plastic necklace brought to you by my four-year-old!
And a shirt made from a paper bag from my six-year-old!
That concludes this installment of KIDCRAFT! Go make stuff, kids!
