Note from Lois: Parents, I hope you will use some of these ideas to create a special fun time with their children!  My children used to love "Me and Mom" times!  Now that I'm a grandma, I love to use these ideas with our grandchildren!

• 10 Edible Play Dough Crafts for Busy Little Kids - If your
  children are at the age of preferring to eat their art
  supplies while you are trying to teach them to expand
  their creative skills, you'll enjoy these perfect projects!

• 20 Fun Ideas That Won't Break The Bank - When the
  kids get home from school, make some of these fun and
  inexpensive crafts! Not ready to spend a fortune on
  supplies? We've come up with some fun projects you can
  make with recycled materials from around the house.
  Here are some ideas to get you started!
  

• Bottle Pumpkin - Kids will love putting these super easy
  pumpkins together. Make a whole bunch of them to
  decorate for a Halloween party or to set out on the
  porch!

• Bug Village - Here's a great craft for almost NO money!
  All you need are a few sticks, some acorn tops, rocks,
  and imagination! These darling little critters have a
  home of their own in this cute craft.

• Cardboard Tube Scarecrow - This fun recycled craft
  made from a paper towel roll and scrap fabrics and felts
  is an adorable project for Fall. Gather the kids around,
  pull out the craft supplies and get cracking on your own
  scarecrows!

• Coffee Filter Sunflowers - Some of my favorite crafts are
  ones created with items that are often found around the
  house. This big, beautiful sunflower is a great example.
  All you need are coffee filters, crayons, scissors and a
  glue stick!

• Craft Stick Fall Tree - This simple craft is a great way to
  celebrate the coming of fall, even for the younger set. No
  patterns are required, just sticks, foam or felt and a little
  imagination.

• Fall Crayon Craft - I love a clearance rack. After every
  holiday, I am out hunting the bargains. In recent years,
  Halloween has emerged as the second largest retail
  holiday. That means lots of neat merchandise to amass
  |and people are decorating earlier than ever. As I went
  through my Halloween boxes, I came across a ghost cake
  pan that was free with a purchase. Ghost cakes are
  adorable, albeit a little on the large side. But who needs
  cake when the trick-or-treat candy is so plentiful? So I
  decided I needed a new idea to use the ghost cake pan.

• Fall Leaves Shirt - This adorable shirt can be made for
  either a boy or a girl. So colorful and vibrant they are
  definitely going to love it! Go even further and add their
  name for a personalized touch. Make one today!

  for Birds out of recycled plastic pop bottles. And don't
  miss the simple pine cone feeder for the little ones to
  make.

  star? Maybe you have big football fans in your family?
  This shirt is an ideal gift and a really fun project for
  game day. Whether a fan or a player, your kids will love
  it!

  us this great craft. Watch 'em wiggle when you write!
  Makes a great party favor.

• Memory Collage - We all want to teach our children that
  it's not the material things in life that are important, but
  it's not always an easy lesson. One way we can begin to
  teach this is to focus on family memories in the making
  of a collage.

  some Autumn colored tissue paper to make this easy and

  on their harvest, the crows will be looking for free
  goodies. Make this cute little crow to celebrate fall!

  craft to keep your kids busy during the game. Make this
  fun mini football into a magnet for the fridge or even a
  good luck charm for watching the game!
