ArtPlayDate Music

Music is just one of the best things in the world. There are just so many different kinds of music that one can enjoy. The last time we visited our library, I was searching for just the right music for when we are playing. One of our favorite things to play currently is "house" in our home, as well as ballet teacher. I was able to find some music that fit just that type of play, but then I thought, we need something fun, upbeat and great for kids when we do our ArtPlayDates...whola I found it. It is called "The Bees Knees - We Share the Earth". It is a great collection of 14 different songs that have catchy words and lively tunes that keep kids of all ages interested in the music and want to dance while they create.

Napkins Holders for Your Family Dinner Table

You will want to select once color of craft foam that you can cut a 1 1/2 x 5 inch strip. When we cut the craft foam we used specialty edging scissors, but you can use regular scissors or pinking shears. Make a hole at each end of the strip. Use permanent markers, foam stickers, eyes, pipe cleaners, foam letters, etc. to personalize your napkin ring. When you are done decorate and things have dried (if you used glue), grab a piece of yarn (any color) and run it through the two holes and tie securely together for form a ring that you can then insert your napkin into.
