Crafts & Activities

Foam board, pipe cleaners, and a point that sticks.

Crafts, object lessons and DIY decor built from affordable materials. The test for every idea is simple: can one volunteer prep it at the kitchen table on a weeknight?

Crafts

Something to carry home. A craft is the moment the lesson stops being words and becomes a thing on the kitchen counter that a kid explains to a parent.

Step by step directions for making a Sponge Person craft from a purple sponge with googly eyes, pom poms and pipe cleaners.

Sponge Person: one sponge, a handful of pom poms, done.

Object lessons

Something to watch. A sponge that soaks up whatever it sits in, a trash can that gives back exactly what went in. Kids remember the picture long after the words.

A line drawn poster comparing garbage in, garbage out with kindness in, kindness out, with a verse about the heart and the mouth.

Kindness in, kindness out: an object lesson on words.

DIY decor

Big rooms on small budgets.

Decor guides walk through the build: what to cut, what to paint, how to hold it upright once the kids arrive. Foam board and craft paint go a long way when the plan is good.
