One Robin Road: Upcycled Flower Bed
http://onerobinroad.blogspot.com/2010/04/upcycled-flower-bed.html
Tuesday, April 13, 2010. This is inspired by a flower bed I saw up at Hovander Homestead's children's garden in Ferndale, WA. They added a rustic headboard and foot board to a regular raised bed. I had so much fun thinking of how great it would look filled with flowers that it really stuck in my mind. Into the yard and say "let's make that raised bed from Hovander." So we did. I emptied our worm bins and mixed that in. (Here is someone who hitched a ride over from the worm bins). Now we are ready to plant.

One Robin Road: Sensory Play
http://onerobinroad.blogspot.com/2011/04/sensory-play.html
Wednesday, April 27, 2011. My 3 year old was bored today. I decided to let her have some sensory play and created this toy out of things around the house. It is modeled after a sensory table I saw in my son's preschool long ago. You will need a sweater box, a handful of small toys, 5 lbs of rice or dried beans or dried corn and a large blanket. Its been about 5 hours. I've tried to put the rice away 3 times. Each time a child started playing so nicely with it that I leave it out. Right now my...This week...

Thursday, May 27, 2010. This week we cut up old t-shirts and wove them into scarves. The project took much longer than the allotted hour. The children took home their cardboard looms to finish. It turned out to be another project better suited for the older kids. I also didn't have sharp enough scissors to cut fabric. So they all got frustrated cutting strips. At one point half my class was running around the room with t-shirt streamers behind them. Thursday, May 20, 2010. Vinegar bottle bird house.

Monday, April 26, 2010. The Eco craft class is moving along. We planted old shoes. This week. I really loved the old work boots one student brought in. I chose flowers to celebrate May Day.

Thursday, January 27, 2011. Chinese New Year rabbit lantern. I thought the eco craft class could celebrate Chinese New Year with these cute little lanterns. We started with clean empty baby food jars and pasted little rabbit paper cuts on them. Then decoupaged tissue paper over the bottle. We wrapped wire around the mouth of the jar and threaded the wire through a chopstick with a hole drilled in the end. The class had fun testing them out in a cupboard in the classroom. Saturday, January 22, 2011. I thi...

Sunday, July 18, 2010. They make great wind socks too. Pictures are on a hot windless day. We got some height on them. My son prefers flying kites when there is no wind. He likes the challenge of getting them up and is bored when we keep them up in the sky. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Http:/ www.onerobinroad.com/.

Wednesday, December 21, 2011. I have the kids home for two weeks added to the dark grey weather equals serious wall climbing. We also had a series of very, VERY expensive household emergencies this last month. So I devised this inexpensive way to add a little winter color and entertain the kids. I'm really excited with what the kids came up with and they want to give them to their father for Christmas. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Http:/ www.onerobinroad.com/.

One Robin Road: recycled streamers
http://onerobinroad.blogspot.com/2011/04/recycled-streamers.html
Friday, April 15, 2011. Ft to do with all recycled items. I used tee-shirts cut into strips, disposable chopsticks and some wire left over from a garden project. The eco craft class loved it. I envisioned the project with one long streamer that they would decorate with rubber stamps. But they each did a specifically unique streamer. One person used several long contrasting colors,. Another did a dozen short ones, and another one of each in medium length (about the same length as child's height).
