PK ON INSTAGRAM

This @yayoikusamas installation at the @louisianamuseum just outside of #copenhagen was one of the most thrilling 60 seconds of my kids’ art viewing experiences. (And possibly min too!) Both Oliver and Sommer studied Kusama in school last year with their amazing art teacher and to enter her work in person was a major high. . We spent the most beautiful day at the @louisianamuseum and I want to share it all with you! Stay tuned for more highlights when jet lag doesn’t have the best of me!! #yayoikusama #artsmarts #modernart
#ad We have a vast children’s book library...over the years I think I’ve bought books not just to please Oliver and Sommer, but to satisfy my love of illustrated books as well! In lieu of “This book belongs to...” stickers, we use rubber stamps to induct them into our personal library. . Until 9/30/18, @kelloggsus will donate one Scholastic book for every box of product bought at @target. You can choose to keep the book or donate it! .

Tomorrow we are leavin’ on a jet plane! I’ve got aircraft (pun intended) on the brain, so here are three of my favorite airplane crafts from my second book, #ProjectKid Crafts that Go! (Photos by @alexandragrablewski, published by @artisan_books) ✈️ (PS...how did I not make the #aircraft pun in sky chapter of that book? Missed oppuntunities!)
As you can see, we aren’t really a smock-wearing family. We art and craft whenever the mood strikes—even in our new @carters threads! Sommer was working on her watercolor skills, while Oliver was inventing the very first ever #origami hot-dog-paper-airplane. (Carter’s goes up to size 14 now...did ya know?!?) #carterskid #sponsored 🎨✂️🖍
In a funny twist of fate, even though I didn’t nab that judge role on @nbcmakingit, I’m working with another @nbc company called @therealbluprint (formerly Craftsy), the best online destination for comprehensive craft courses. . For our last round of videos, they asked me to make a #unicorn inspired by the one @damasklove made on the first episode of #nbcmakingit. (Amber, did I make you proud?!?) Check out the link in my profile to watch the video and see the surprise materials this little creature is made with. And swipe 👉🏼 to see her sweet beauty shot! 🦄
#ad Now that Oliver and Sommer are official "big kids" I kind of worry a bit about #braindrain in the summer months. Not like keep-me-up-at-night-tiger-mom worry, but it's like anything, you have to practice to master a skill. So while their school sends us reading and math packets for the summer, they don't give us anything to keep up their Spanish. So, to keep the educación española going, I used Scotch® Wall Safe Tape from @Walmart to label things around the house. And since we are going to Sweden next week, I decided to go bilingual and put Swedish words on the other side! 2 languages for the craft of 1! Using a string and tape that won't damage my walls makes them easily flippable! . #BacktoSchoolGoals2018 #CollectiveBias #backtoschool #duallanguage #languagelessons #summertravel
About a year ago I got a random email from a casting agent asking if I’d be interested in auditioning to be a judge on a new craft competition show on @nbc, that was being hosted by @nickofferman and Amy Poehler. UM, YES! . Here I am, finding the perfect laptop angle for my @skype audition with a casting agent in LA. I really went for it...hair and makeup by @glamsquad and lighting and set styling by my jack-of-all-trades husband @mcohen15. . When you tune into @nbcmakingit tonight, you’ll see that I did not make the cut as a judge, but at least I was beat out by two legit stars, @simondoonan and @daynaisomjohnson from @etsy. Congrats to @robert_mahar, @damasklove, @ohsojo_ and all of the other killer crafters showing off their skills. Even if I didn’t make the cut, I’m glad this show exists and celebrates the unplugged creativity of the #handmade. Long live the glue-gun!! ✂️🎨🖍 (Interesting side note—the working title of the show was Handmade Project...not to be confused with Handmaids Tale 🤣)
No those are not my feet poking out of a fjord in Norway, but in two weeks they will be! My family is off on an adventure from Copenhagen ➡️ Oslo ➡️ Bergen ➡️ Bohuslän coast in Sweden ➡️ Gothenburg ➡️ Stockholm (and everywhere in between). . If any of you worldly travelers have some tips for eating, seeing, playing, or just being, I’m all ears (and eyes and arms and toes). (Also tips on traveling with children are very welcome!!!) ✈️ #ProjectKidtravels (photo by @eljackson via @Norge)
