i was so excited to find out that kathreen of "whipup" is launching march 1st a fab new mini-mag called "action pack: a mini-mag for kids who want to do stuff". geared to kids aged 7 and up this is the perfect thing to get the tween crowd making, playing and creating! after all, not all of us have kidlets that are wee ones.
kathreen developed action pack with "busy parents and creative energetic kids in mind". it's an easy printable pdf, costs only $5 (wow!), there's no ads and it's filled to the brim with "20 pages of craft projects, outdoor activities, cooking, drawing & more, everything a kid needs for a weekend (or two) of activities". all the projects inside are kid tested and approved :)
projects like beeswax candles, lip balm & hand lotion (with your own labels!), beeswax dipped origami boats (they float), honey cinnamon cake, drawing lessons, fun facts & more! ummmmm, i wanna be a kid so i can do the projects in action pack. hello....these are fabulous! such a great idea!
most of my readers know i'm a big believer in encouraging handmade in my home so to see this kind of publication come out to encourage not only our wee ones, but also our tweens, teens and everything else in between to create and use their imaginations does my heart good. you can download and purchase your copy of action pack here for only $5 buckaroos. skip the latte....you won't regret it.
you can also find lots of other crafty inspiration and goodness over at kathreen's blog - whipup. you are sure to find more than enough projects to keep you busy and your kids.
so get inspired, find a project and get creating! your imagination awaits! what is your favorite kind of craft, experiment or project to do with your kids? would your child love action pack?
