Wednesday, January 26, 2011 at. Most of the time, I am inspired and amazed by children. Sometimes, I am really. Inspired and amazed by them. Imagine some old boxes sitting around your house.

http://clementineboulder.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html

Suncatchers with Colored Glue. Clementine natural glue works perfectly with color. Add a teaspoon of Clementine natural paint and stir until the paint is incorporated. I made a whole set! Squeeze colored glue on a clean, plastic deli lid. Make swirly designs, dots and patterns. Pop dried glue out of the lid. Punch a hole, and hang on a string in the window. Tuesday, June 29, 2010 at.

http://clementineboulder.blogspot.com/2011/11/conscious-baking.html

Refined white sugar has been linked to myriad health issues including cancer, obesity and premature aging, among others. As a lover of baked goods and sweet treats, I set out to teach children how to enjoy baking and the cozy reminders of childhood (chocolate chip cookies? Without overloading on white sugar. My latest challenge has been to replace cane sugar with healthier sweeteners for a children's cooking class. Here are my favorites, in order. Rich, sticky, and actually, less sweet! I've been delight...

Marketing to children is creepy. Reveals some serious manipulation on the part of children's product manufacturers to perfect the 'nag factor', that is, marketing to children to encourage them to nag their parents to purchase something.

Clementine Art: August 2010

http://clementineboulder.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html

Are You a Helicopter Parent? The decision to have a child is momentus. It is the decision to forever walk around with your heart outside your body - Elizabeth Stone. As a child, my parents were unflappable about safety. I played, unsupervised, with a posse of neighborhood kids, rode in seat-beltless cars, skated near fragile ice over frigid pond water, and walked to and from school (gasp) alone! Was I just lucky?

Clementine Art: Shaving Cream Paper Marbeling

http://clementineboulder.blogspot.com/2012/04/shaving-cream-paper-marbeling.html

Shaving Cream Paper Marbeling. One of the easiest and cleanest ways to create groovy swirls on paper is to use shaving cream. It's clean, smells good, and washes right up! Find a tray and make little shave cream piles. Drip a little watercolor paint or food color on it. Use a toothpick, fork, chopstick or your finger to swirl it around. Swirl some more until it looks awesome to you. Press a piece of cardstock onto the colored shave cream. Wipe off. An incredible design will remain. A CUP OF JO.
