This is great. Thanks for compiling all this information in one place.
I'm about to jump into stay-at-home-momdom and am nervous about finding good activities to do with my preschoolers. You can be sure I'll be referencing your site regularly! :)
Posted by: AndreaLea | 03/24/2008 at 08:13 AM
such a great idea Cassi! thanks for putting it all together in one place.
i love your Christmas series of books and activities and refer to those projects quite often. don't know if you're familiar with Sarah's story time and project posts, but she has some good ideas there too.

Thank you- thank you, for starting this blog! I am always searching the web for kids craft blogs- and this was such a treat to find!
The sidebar of recommended craft books is also most welcome- I too, homeschool.
Can't wait to see more.
