About Me
- An Almost Unschooling Mom
- I'm a homeschool mom of six. My family has been homeschooling for about seventeen years. And, each year, we've learned a little more about having fun, and spending less, while learning more. It's great to be a homeschooler!

That looks like fun. We are going to have rain all week, maybe we will try this!
This looks like so much fun! Now where are our Pom-poms?
I must remember this...looks so fun!!
They do look very absorbed in the activity!
Wow what a beautiful stamping idea! Great idea for summer vacation!
We did egg carton stamping last week to create hungry caterpillar. Pom pom could also be used to create beautiful caterpillar prints!

Another guaranteed way to get messy, my kids would love it!
We did this activity! My daughter enjoyed it!

what type of paint do you use? We've tried the washable crayola paints, but the jars are so small that the colors are used up after a couple projects.
For this project, it was the little bottles of Crayola paint we used. But, whenever possible I buy it in the large bottles.
