Ever hear of Cloud Dough? It's a wonderful sensory activity for preschool children. It feels like flour as you run your fingers through it, but the cool thing about it is that it is moldable too. My kids spent a good half hour playing with cloud dough. They loved it!

Did you miss the previous post on How To Work With Cardboard ? I've been having some trouble getting my feeds out recently. New posts are published on the blog itself but aren't being picked up by the aggregators. Often, I find that I need to send out a new post before the old one gets picked up in tandem.

Winter Holiday Birch House Tutorial
Last year, the month before Christmas, I went slightly craft crazy and made a little birch village full of houses, barns and glittered animals. It was really fun to do – even if there was glitter for months to come all over the house. The best thing was it was an incredibly inexpensive project. I only had to buy crystal clear glitter and had everything else hanging around the house.Make this lovely cardboard oven with materials from around your home.

Never got around to it until this week.This lovely picture puzzle is made from an old sticker of a cardinal, but you can use a new image instead.
