If you've been to summer camp over the last 40 years, chances are you made some version of a #godseye or #ojodedios craft. But have you ever wondered where these originated? . It's your lucky day because @cyaghjian did a deep dive into the meaning, history, and the ways in which the current #diy culture has embraced this vintage and historical craft over #ontheblog.

This project was cut from my second book, Project Kid: Crafts That Go. And one could argue that nothing about this craft goes. True. But it was going to live in the Sky chapter, among planes, helicopters, etc, just as a nod to what naturally lived in the sky. I think it was too abstract, but i still ❤️ it so here ya go.

Feeling nostalgic for summer month in France last year. But looking forward to our Scandinavian adventure next month! More on that soon! 🇸🇪 🇩🇰 #familytravel #europeanvacation
Even when I’m not feeling very patriotic, I do love eating #popsicles and making some noise! These quick popsicle shakers made from cardboard gift boxes are a quick and fun way to get yourselves heard on #JulyFourth! 🎉 #makesomenoise #july4th #july4thcraft . How-to link in profile!
Here we go! #familiesbelongtogether
I was in a commercial this week (yes a national commercial...more on that later!) and the CD wanted me to have a project in progress that would shoot well on camera. I simplified and remade these owls 🦉 from my first book #ProjectKid. It’s fun to read my own book and follow my own directions! ✂️🎨🦉
I have had the privilege of working with many fine folks at @familyfunmag over the years. And I’ve been lucky to create imaginative projects to grace their pages. (Including the update of Oliver and Sommer’s bedroom!) I even got to write their blog, #EverydayFun for a few years. They have always supported me when my books were new, and to know that this glossy all about FUN is no longer makes be sad. . Best wishes to the talented lovelies that I’ve had the pleasure of working with! @elizanneshaw @rycliry @jennieklockutschig @yummytoddlerfood @aynmoe @danapoints @lizvaccariello #howwefun
Millions of colors, so many people to love...one rainbow. Happy #pride day! #whp
As I scroll through my feed, there’s a very even mix of “normal” content—pretty crafts, immaculate rooms, cute kiddos—and then people talking about how #familiesbelongtogether. . My husband always reminds me that PROJECT KID should speak not just about projects to do with and for your kids, but also about how your KID is your PROJECT. And with any project there is a learning curve, discovery, struggle, and uncertainty. I think I’ve been afraid to address those topics because I’m not really a reporter...I’m just a little crafter that could. But as the minutes, days, and years go by, both as a parent to two projects and as a citizen of this world, I realize that the absence of social, developmental, and sometimes political content is making me feel more limited and lost. . So here begins a slight shift in #ProjectKid...lots of fun unplugged activities to keep your kids wide-eyed and creative, but also seeds of conversations that matter to me, and I hope matter to you. . If you have the time to read the Families Belong Together post from my profile link, that would be lovely. It offers ways to help and a great post link by @cupofjo. .
