All things Boy: Activities, recipes, DIY, Science projects and Crafts for Boys.
I’m so excited to share this fun craft with you! A few years back my husband and I went on a Caribbean cruise and on our different stops I noticed all of the wind chimes made with bamboo but for some crazy reason, I never bought one. I’ve regretted it ever since. Not only do I love how this wind chime turned out but I loved using Gemz by Darice to add a bit of “bling”. This really sparkles in the sun! [Read more...]
Every night before bedtime one of my boys asks me what fun thing we will do the next day. Most days we are too busy running around with sports, scouts and music lessons for too many extras but since they’ve been asking daily, I thought it was time to make something fun and easy.
Of course boys are obsessed with anything they can throw or shoot across the room, (Is it just my boys? ) so making a paper rocket was the perfect craft for them, plus it entertained them for quite awhile (bonus #1). And since these are small and lightweight, there is no damage done when they go shooting at one of your windows, or into your ceiling fan (because we all know that when they start shooting/throwing stuff it always hits the ceiling fan, so, bonus #2).
Supplies you will need:
These totally brought me back to being a kid again! What kid doesn’t like a kazoo?? And what mom actually does like their kids to have a kazoo? Ok, just kidding. My house is already loud so I figure, what the heck, they’re making music. 
These are so easy to make.

I love easy crafts that my boys can pretty much make themselves. They are getting more and more independent and don’t necessarily want moms help anymore. We all throw away toilet paper rolls every day. Hang on to them to make this cute robot craft. [Read more...]
I’m a mom of 4 boys, which also makes me a
nurse, referee, taxi driver,teacher, party planner, story teller, barber,dietician, baker, atm, maid, personal shopper, jungle gym, coach, puppeteer, motivator and negotiator. On the rare occasion that I get a moment to myself I like to sing, play the piano and guitar and just relax. I’m sharing my life with you as well as fun activities, crafts, recipes and ideas designed just for boys, in hopes that together we can, not only survive, but find joy in raising boys. So leave a comment and get involved. I’d love to hear from you!
