DIY Art Supplies:: Part 1: Making Crayons with Kids

February 19, 2010 2

Over the next few posts on my blog at Cascadian Farm, I will be sharing the Eco friendly art supplies recipes that Eben and I have enjoyed over the years. First up is my do it yourself, recycled crayons tutorial.

Eben and I have made these over the years with broken crayon pieces. We have wrapped them up with handmade notebooks for holiday gifts and birthday favors. This would be a super fun series to follow through all of this cold winter weather. It would give you more ideas to keep the kids entertained.

Do you make your own art supplies?
Which ones are your favorite?

My New Favorite Green Lunchbox from Goodbyn

February 18, 2010 4

Have you seen the new lunchboxes from Goodbyn. Aren’t they fantastic? I love the colors, the shape, the size, the design and the stickers. What a lovely idea to let children decorate their own lunchbox. Don’t you agree? I love that the drink bottle has it’s own spot inside the lunchbox. I also love how roomy they are, that they are BPA free and completely recyclable. Fantastic. Personally, I would use a Goodbyn lunchbox myself, I think they are adorable. Eben would love, love, love one too. How cute are the ears?

How about you lovely readers, would you or your child use a Goodbyn lunchbox?
What do you think of them?

The First Goodies Have Arrived.

February 17, 2010 8

Do you remember when I told you about Sweet Greens’ Goodies {Club} Subscriptions? The first goody went out in the mail a couple of weeks ago. I thought I would share with everyone what the goody was, in case you were curious. It was a set of these fantastic upcycled magnets made from bottle caps from Beans Things. I choose love themes, perfect for February. How lovely is that?

The next batch of goodies is getting ready to go in the mail this week. Have you bought your subscription? There is still time to receive your surprise goodies in the mail. Remember, I offer 3, 6, 9 month or annual subscriptions, you can get yours here.

How about you lovely readers, what do you think of the first goody?
